Boomerang Leela - 3rd at York SC

This is the Leela deck I took to 3rd in York SC, played on jnet. I fancied a change from 419, who I think is equally good, but could not make other runner factions work, so cobbled this together a few days ago. Initial testing proved positive, so I decided to try it in a tournament.

It's a fairly generic goodstuff Crim deck, but unlike the Engolo/Turtle combination I use to pressure the Corp out of 419, this deck relies on Leela's ability and 3 boomerangs to keep the Corp honest while it sets up the rather expensive rig. Boomerang gets you into remotes early on, or enables DoF out of nowhere, still retaining utility later on for dealing with certain ice, most notably Surveyor. Even against an ice that only costs 4-5 to break lategame, it can be worth reinstalling Boomerang onto it just to keep triggering Corporate Grant.

The reduced MU usage of the rig allows a bit of depth by having 2 Rezekis. The Procos look weird and were a random include to use up 6 influence, but also work well to give you some staying power in longer games. I also tried this deck with 3 Diesel instead, without coming to a conclusion on which is better, so for now I'm just enjoying myself using a card I haven't put in a serious deck for about 2 years.

The deck went 3-1, beating Chronos Protocol, Palana and PE, losing to Blue Sun in the cut. It's still an iffy matchup for crim, alongside deep glacier out of NBN. As usual crim is flexible enough to tech for the meta, with Hernando being a possible addition to help these matchups. Miss Bones is available for asset spam metas, or no one home if tagging and damage matchups are problematic.

Thanks to everyone for a fun event, and congrats to Aaryn on the win.
