I Guess Temujin is Good (Undefeated - NE Store Champs)

I haven't played Netrunner in over 6 months. But hey, it's store champs season, my girlfriend just dumped me like a sack of potatoes, and I need a reason to get out of the house before the dark thoughts start creeping in. So why not show up and play a few games?

What's that? The meta is radically different and I don't know what half the cards from Business First forward actually do? That's okay -- I'll just bring some decks that are everything I love about NR, take some lumps on the chin, and it will still be better than spending the day staring at the wall and wondering where everything went wrong.

Or maybe I'll go undefeated because everyone forgot how to play against this stuff. That's cool, too.

This is basically the same deck I ran for a good chunk of 2016. I won the first store champs I went to last year, so I started messing around with variations on Leela for funsies until Regionals kicked in. While it never seemed quite as strong as Anarch in those days, it was ridiculously fun to play so it seemed appropriate for the day given my intentions. I bought Blood Money when I walked in the store, since Temujin seemed like a straight upgrade to the Bank Jobs/Dirty Laundries. It turns out Paperclip is in the same pack -- thanks FFG.

Anyway, my girlfriend is still gone, but I put the Store Champ plaque on her pillow, and I make out with the bye card every night after I turn out the lights, so things are looking up.

Full disclosure: this was a 5 person store champ. So, you know, 'undefeated' just means I went 3-0. I'm still probably the greatest Netrunner of all time, though.

This was played at the store champs for The Game Shoppe in Bellevue, NE on 1/28/17. Moved info down here to allow for string length on deck title. =)
