New Potatoes (3rd US Nationals)

Based heavily on this (pre-rotation) list: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/46741/comrades-potato-worlds-2017-did-pretty-well-i-guess-

I was expecting a lot of Clan Vengeance Anarch, and literally could not find anything I liked against them. While playing this list online, I was going a little better than even while learning, so I figured it was my best bet.

Distract the Masses does an acceptable Whampoa impression, and I wish I had room for a third.

I put in NGO fronts instead of IPOs, and they were fine - they basically take one click away from the runner because they will check it 100% of the time. IPO is probably better since it's not trashable, but I don't think that was ever relevant. I also was sitting on 20+ credits basically all day, so they could just become a functional card instead.

I cut the Ark Lockdowns because they generally just sat in my hand until getting Clan Vengeanced. With as much Levy as there was, they probably deserve at least a spot.

There's only 4 Influence here because Influence is for people who know the entire card pool. I think that's where this could be optimized by a better player - it might be right to go for Biotic Labor instead of Shipment, for example, to help sneak out a House of Knives before you can fully cover centrals.

Enforced Curfew was low-key huge on the day, as it often served as a free net that didn't help Clan Vengeance. It also cancels EStrike, but EStrike isn't really that problematic. Still, it's a nice side effect.

And for the spicy stuff: Voter Intimidation - The straightforward Film Critic/Turning Wheel hate. I just had 2x this for a long time, until people kept not taking any agendas at all while building up the wheel. Also, I hate losing Psi games, it drives me nuts and I want to put myself in that spot as rarely as possible.

Enforcing Loyalty - crazy expensive, but you have the money. This is almost always going to be a 16-20 credit operation, but it's worth it. In addition to shooting out Wheels, I also used this to take out the final Same Old Thing for two different Maxx players, preventing them from getting an additional Levy shuffle. It is super pricey, though,so I don't think you can afford to play more than 1. It also lets you answer a splashed Feedback Filter, which matters occasionally.

Georgia Emelyov - There are games where you fall behind on money, or you can't muster up a psi game win, and that's when you need Georgia. She is basically insurance for those games where you end up with a Kakugo or Miraju at the edge of your server because they just happened to show up late. Basically, you Rez Georgia as the Runner approaches the ice, wait for them to get through, and then relocate her to a safer territory before the Runner can trash her. Much like Enforcing Loyalty, you have the cash to support this because you're doing nothing but taking 3 credits all day.

Overall, I faced 1 419, 3 or 4 Val, 2 or 3 Maxx, and one Geist. I ended up losing to one Val on a game loss (though I believe I would have lost naturally on that turn anyhow), and losing to Geist on time. Much like my runner, I think I hit generally favorable matchups, with no one on Film Critic or any kind of damage prevention.
