Always Be Running (6-2, Tulsa Regional. 1st in Swiss)

I played this alongside my ASA Group list, find it here: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/51196/architect-never-rotates-

I always carry all four directives. Of course every game at the tournament I used Safety First, Neutralize All Threats and Find the Truth.

Entered the Tulsa Regional with my untrustworthy Adam deck. Unfortunately I only had about a week to build and playtest him offline, as I don't play on J-Net as of current.

Overall Adam won 3 out of his 5 tournament games. Inherently this deck abuses the power of turtle (Aumakua) to repetitively trigger RNG Key using Find the Truth to gain consistent draw or credits. The key strategy that seems to work for this build is to play a constant pressure game while holding back Logic Bomb to make the remote snipes or R&D access. If you can keep the pressure up and the corp is unable to purge turtle then you're bound to find Agendas through Find the Truth/Multi-HQ access from Neutralize All Threats. Adam's remote pressure with Logic Bomb is incredibly strong until upgrades are involved.

Throughout the event I found Rip Deal to be dead in multiple situations, often times corps will shore up HQ once I start multi-accessing, so it ends up becoming incredibly expensive to resolve. I'd cut both copies from the deck. Also I would switch Employee Strike back to Film Critic. I don't think there's a more useful unicorn card in the game to include. Unfortunately that leaves me influencing out some other current and I don't particularly care for any of the 1-influence options. I'd probably switch to x3 Interdiction because I believe it is almost meta-required to play x2-3 currents in every deck in the game. The biggest issue of Interdiction is that thanks to Find the Truth my opponent will always see Interdiction coming. I'd probably be interested in using some of the influence leftover from Rip Deals to a bit of increased credit gain or a few Political Operatives or the third I've Had Worse

Tournament Results:

Vs. SSO Won by scoring out.

Vs. Sportsmetal Won by scoring out.

Vs. MTI Lost by Flatline.

Vs. ASA Group Won by scoring out.

Thanks to not using a Bye and lucky strength of schedule, I got to claim First in Swiss!

Top 8:

Vs. Kim Hammer Man Lost heavily to Clan Vengeance. I'm not convinced that card is healthy for the Netrunner meta, however I don't want to detract from my opponent, he was a very skilled player.

Vs. ASA Group Lost to scoring out. Unfortunately a lack of good accesses and a Jinja super-server were enough to keep me out of a higher placement. Well played!

Overall I had an absolutely fantastic time at the tournament and look forward to my next regional and worlds this year!

I'll try to check back and answer any questions anyone has, so please feel free to ask away. This is my first time posting a decklist on NetrunnerDB, but by no means my first Regional top, I've been playing and topping events since 2014 at least.
