Noob Kit (1st @ Apex of the Midwest)

This is the Kit list I piloted to 1st place in the ANRPC Apex of the Midwest tournament in Madison, WI. It went 3-1 in Swiss, beating CTM, Sol, and ETF Glacier, and and 2-0 in the cut beating Code Gate Skorpios and Sol. Its only loss came against Palana Glacier.

There’s absolutely nothing surprising about this list. It’s just your basic Noob Kit list with virtually no special spice.

Inversificator is a no-brainer in Kit. It sets up so many plays, whether it's moving taxing ice off of R&D or riding the outside ice on a 2-ice server all the way in. 3 Inversificator is 100% the right decision. You’re almost guaranteed to find one early, you get to use your SMCs for Mopus more judiciously, and it gives you game against Skorpios. I absolutely would have lost to Skorpios in the cut if I had only played 2.

3 Beth is also 100% correct. Beth puts a lot of gas in the tank and you want to see her very early. She’s an excellent target for MCA Informant as well, and having multiples means you can often just overwrite her if she gets MCA’ed.

Other than that, the deck is very straightforward. Get Opus, get Inversificator, get money, and access cards. Cheat Femmes into play when possible. Play Stimhack, you don’t need cards in your hand. You have no tech cards to speak of, so play smart. You want to know when to apply pressure and when to pump the brakes and get money.

Shout-outs to TheBigBoy for the original list.

(PS: There's no 2017 ANRPC option in NetrunnerDB, so I tagged it 2016 ANRPC. I swear I'm not a time traveler.)
