I Heard You Like ETR (23rd American Continentals)

Möbius Striptease 191

So I added some ETR to my ETR.

I shamelessly lifted this deck from @iref after beholding it on this very site, for it is a thing of beauty: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/61013/europe-palana-top16-eurafr-2020-

I tweaked it a little, swapping out the SSL Endorsement for a Bacterial Programming (this is honestly a matter of taste, but I love the way Bacterial Programming can either save your bacon or hammer home a win), and the Envelope and Cortex Lock for a pair of Chetanas, because there's nothing better than a surprise Grip wipe when they've drawn up to try to grab an Obokata.

An early Nisei score is very achievable and it sets you up for a nearly impenetrable remote server, especially if you can stack La Costa grid, Bio Vault, and Border Control. A scored Nisei is also an incredibly powerful way to shut down runner shenanigans; over the course of the tournament, it saved me from at least three game-ending runner tricks, including a Diversion of Funds and a deep-dig RnD run with a stacked Turning Wheel. What an agenda!

Overall it performed extremely well, going 5-2 over the course of the tournament. The only two games it lost were to Freedom Khumalo. The first loss was due to an agenda flood in which I drew literally every agenda in my deck, and the second was to YsengrinSC's sick HQ RIP right when I was a turn away from the win. You can watch him break my heart starting at 8:17:00 here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/697277058

Why Chetana?

Congratulation! 23rd place is pretty good. I am glad you liked the deck. All props to @dante42 for his Worlds version which I just updated. :)

Chetana is cheeky include and is probably more useful than cortex lock, unfortunately I don't know how to win psi games. :) How many times did it fire during the tournament?

@Cpt_nice I was just looking for a modestly taxing Sentry, and the thought of losing your entire grip is usually enough for people to want to break it. The bonus is if they do run without a way to break it (which a lot of criminals will do if you're low on credits), you can wipe their entire grip. Sometimes that's enough of a tempo hit to win it for you right there, especially if they rely heavily on run events.

@iref Thanks! It's a really strong and fun deck to play, and it treated me really well.

Chetana fired twice during the tournament, and I won the psi game both times. It definitely helped me win a game the first time it went off, and I think it gave me a fighting chance against YsengrinSC because it wiped 6 cards from his grip and saved an Obokata from being stolen. Ysengrin won in the end, but it was really close—he ripped a Nisei from HQ the turn before I was about to score out.

I also like the credit bump Chetana gives you. If they can't break it you essentially get a decently taxing ice they're scared to run for only 2 credits, even if you lose the psi.

That said, of all the ice in the deck, it's certainly the most optional.

Same goes for envelope and cortex lock in original version. I've been trying komainu but I am thinking that 3rd Engram Flush may be the best option.

@iref Yeah, Engram Flush is a steal at 2 credits.

Hey @iref, I love your ETR deck! I'm definitely going to try it out. I'm especially interested in your choice of Bacterial Programming over SSL Endorsement. I can see how it could be really useful in both saving your bacon and finishing off the corp.

I'm also wondering if you've considered using CapCut to make a video reply to this blog/forum post. It's a free and easy-to-use video editor that could help you create a more engaging and informative response.

Hey @iref, I really like your ETR deck! I'm going to give it a try for sure. I'm curious about why you picked Bacterial Programming instead of SSL Endorsement. I can see how it could be handy in saving you and taking down the corp. I get why you're worried about turning off comments on social media. It's important to keep things positive online. About Spotify) APK, it's a useful tool for listening to music without any interruptions
