I had a wonderful time at my first worlds, days later and I'm still going over the games in my head so much that it's hard to focus on anything else.

I'll keep the write-up brief as I only barely made top half.

I told myself that if nothing gets banned from the Lat deck that Sokka won Cascadia with, then I'd play it at worlds. It is the most versatile runner deck and it capable of matching the pace of any corp. Annicam Lat with 3 stonechip is almost unkillable. I can't say for sure whether swift or annicam is better, but the influence for Cupellation wasn't something I was willing to compromise on.

It does have weakness to PD being able to drop an M.I.C. on a central, an anoetic on the remote and keep 6 cards in hand to deny card draw. Unfortunately, PD was, by a narrow margin, the most represented corp at worlds and I matched up against it 3 times in my 5 games and it gave me both of my runner losses.

If you have any questions as to how powerful the deck is I advise you to read the NRDB review for Clone Chip that I will quote here:

"[SIMUL]Chip is one of the most powerful and flexible runner cards in the game. We see it in almost every Shaper deck, and is one of the most popular splashes in many Anarch decks too. FFG have recognised its power and ubiquity and added it to Most Wanted List as of Feb 1st, 2016."

To me, the best runner decks are deep dive, crew, and running hot but only one of those decks makes full use of 3 simulchips.

Shouts out to all the folks who volunteered to put together worlds and to all the Seattle folk who make netrunner such an welcoming and enjoyable hobby! I've only been out playing for the better part of a year but I look forward to a ton more!

Sokka's iterated on the deck a little bit,

Bahia Bands ● --> Build Script ●

Hush ● --> Overclock

Unity --> Buzzsaw ●

Pelangi --> K2CP Turbine

I'm liking the changes, ofc Buzzsaw doesn't solve M.I.C. Personally, I'm not sure how to use Pelangi. What benefits does it give? Is it to save counters, or is it to break something cheaply that Unity can't break?

I was on Swift Lat at worlds and luckily I only saw PD once and Asa once. Yup, two HB, one PE, one RH, two Azmari, one Outfit.

@somefishthis deck is close to the Cascadia winning deck and the one I enjoyed and practiced the most leading up to worlds. I think going into the event people were looking for innovations to have a better matchup into glacier decks such as AgInfusion. I believe this is why Sokka pivoted to a turbine build which buzzsaw fits in nicely. I preferred to stay closer to the original build with pelangi as that allows revolver to more easily break an early gatekeeper and sometimes lets you turn things into codegates late game to save propeller counters.

For me, hush was the tech card for AgInfusion as it lets you stop thimblerig, Tatu-bola or border control, and was also a hedge in case I faced decks with logjam.

Bahia bands didn’t do anything for me and would likely be my first cut going forward but it seemed like it could be nice against tags.

Swift Lat is certainly strong, I believe 4 of the 8 top cut Lat were on swift and 3 were on Aniccam. I preferred Aniccam as it gives me more flexibility both in my influence choices and in my play style. I don’t need to play run events to get value on turns were I’d rather be setting up.

Great thoughts! I appreciate the thoughts on pelangi and hush, I’ll have to give those a try some time
