2nd swiss German Nats - undefeated against non world champs

So I went 9-1 with this thing during German Nats Weekend. 4-0 at the König von Deutschland Team Event and 5-1 in the Main Event only dropping a single Game against World Champ Pinsel in an 60 minute Geist game.

2nd in swiss and then i dropped. My girlfriend and I reached an agreement, that i could go to nats, but only two days, cause we have a little babygirl at home. I was thinking for a while and talked with 5noopi about that and came to the conclusion, that i would never make top 8 in that field. Also Team Events are great and König von Deutschland sounded escpecially promising with bathrobes and Burgerking Crowns for the top team. So i decided to go Friday and Saturday. As i kept winning long talks were hold but I decided for once to do the right thing and go back home to my fam.

So why Mirrormorph? I heard ETF was a thing shortly before i started with Netrunner and after seeing jakuzas lasercut Mirrormirrormorph i decided to try this one with the idea in mind to buy one from jakuza as well. I learned that mirrors were not for sale tho and I need to play well to get one. I think that boosted performance.

Often times you just gain a credit, that is correct. But money makes the world go round and it adds up during the game to be pretty valuable.

But then there is some cool stuff you can do in Mirrormorph with cards like MCA Austerity Policy. You can fast advance a SSL one turn earlier or get vitruvius with counters. I added 2 Fast tracks in the mix to get vitruvius in the turn your mca pops or to draw an ssl in hand the turn before the 3rd tick.

Other cool things mirror allows are Restore for Bass, click Bass, Install Vitruvius, triple advance. Or Red Level Clearance for Bass and gain click, Click bass, Install two pointer, and quadruple advance.

You don't have to fear Clot to much, cause if they can't trash mca out of the jinja remote they often won't be able to get the advanced agenda in the remote anyway.

The MVP in the list was clearly Restore, a completely underappreciated card in my opinion.

Restore was used to:

• keep MCA ticking in the remote all game long
• install border controls onto the remote
• get jinja, rashida or ngo back in the remote
• installed agendas milled by stargate
• installed bass, that i discarded to fast advance afterwards

Vitruvius Counters are also getting back all your annoying stuff

Matchups:

against Hayley you just have to be fast, a ticking mca is denying them proco value and just don't play around clot too much. Your remote is fine. Against Kloppstock and Percomis on the winning Geist list i was just to fast. Against Percomis i fast advanced two early ssl with MCA's and a vitruvius with restore/bass later. Hoshikos also needed some setup so i often just scored regular in a normal 2 ice remote. The Loss against Pinsels Geist i actually have no idea what i coud have done different. Had my winning vitruvius in a 5 iced remote for 4 turns straight but Pinsel kept doing Pinsel things. Congrats on the back to back Pinsel.

Play of the weekend:

Under total credit denial i manged to get from 0 to 14 credits in one turn.

Click MCA, pop MCA, Credit, Mirrormorph Credit, Restore NGO, Advance NGO and pop, Hedge Fund, IPO

Best 3 Minutes of the Weekend:

Against Kloppstocks Geist, when he breaks surveyors tag trace with grappling hook and says end the run fires. After complete 3 minute silence and staring contests he asks „you thinking?“ I thought he let end the run fire and was thinking about his next click and he thought I was thinking about wether to increase the etr trace or not. We broke out in laughter and continued.

Game of the Weekend:

60 minute Geist against Mastermind Pinsel. I don't know what to say. I just noticed a lot of heads shaking by the guys standing around watching our game. Wait for his list and see him play that thing. It is indescribable. Well Played.

Thx to all of the organizers, all the lovely people I met , my metafolks helping me thru the entire weekend and Nisei for continuing that adventure.

I had an absolute blast
