MAD Booms yo (Undefeated Swiss, 7th US Nats)

*Insert Jesse Pinkman Breaking bad gif here *

This was an almost unchanged copy of Zoom-copy50. I dropped sandburg for Malia in order to better deal with Bankhar, and switched up the agenda suite a little. In retrospect, I think moving things around and going 3 GFI 3 Ikawah and 1 Luminal or Vitruvius is a good call.

The deck is phenomenal and mean which makes me glad Boom! is rotated, it performed really well in swiss rounds:

Round 1 vs Jaypumpkin - Got my combo pieces set up just in time to land the combo before he built up a board state to tear mine up

Round 3 vs Janktivist - Big hoshiko is a little slower to set up, I got lucky with a spin doctor to find my final combo piece and then was able to Biotic,biotic, bass, MAD, Boom

Round 5 vs Aurates - On TagMe Zahya, hit a drafter 4th click allowing me to recur boom, gg

Round 7 vs Chromatically - really tough game, was losing pieces to Maw, game went to time and I was able to biotic a Virt to tie on points

Round 10 vs Fa - ID'd (in single sided swiss?! ) against our new East Coast National Championship

Cut Game 1 vs Choux - I was fairly confident I could get the combo off on the only non Hoshiko in the cut, Choux's Adam, but I was proven wrong. A turn before I was ready, a perfectly executed jailbreak on R&D took all the points he needed to avoid a missile.

Big shoutouts to all the folk supporting the tournament behind the scenes by judging and streaming, and making the game, and to all my fellow netrunner enthusiasts.

It was so great to meet and play with you at East Coast Nats Teo! I enjoyed the race against the clock to defuse the incoming missiles- I was on a knifes edge throughout the game! I love especially when you announced, 'This is the Truth' each time Find the Truth was triggered. :D

Great deck and I enjoyed hearing about your card considerations.

Imagine running last click against unrezzed ice, couldn't be me

Good game, and and congrats again on your placing!

@ChiptheRipper in the early days of Find the Truth, some people would steal or trash cards seen from FtT so I adopted the "This is the truth" as a way to remind that its from the ability haha.

@aureates safety is an illusion

@aureates safety is an illusion, missiles in the bin can sometimes be reloaded. GG though, i was on the back foot for a bunch of it, you did great

I vividly remember an early game in learning Adam with @Maj.Apollo whenever I would see a card from Find the Truth, I said 'No Access'. He looks back at me like, 🙄 'you can't access' (growing pains 😁)
