Midseasons CTM - 2nd Place, Undefeated, PAX West (25 Player)

This deck is good, folks.

This homebrew of mine provides an alternate to the popular "Tempo CTM" decks that have been floating around since the ID released. This is a rush deck that packs extra econ to always keep the Midseasons threat. There hasn't been much Film Critic being played recently so you will almost always get a window to fire the Midseasons and successfully land tags, and the games you don't, you win because you rush out super fast. Most of the games however, you end up Psychoing out a Beale for extra points. Archer was a last minute addition per @pandapersona's recommendation and it works super well with the rush strategy. Lots of economy makes this deck resilient to strategies revolving around Siphon

I piloted this list to second place at the Netrunner PAX West tournament out of 25 players on 9/2/16. It was a pretty casual tournament, with 4 rounds of swiss and no cut. On the runner side, I played this list with -1 SacCon -1 Hyperdriver +1 Beth +1 Councilman. First place was also playing this runner deck with a couple slight changes. I ended up tied on prestige with the first and third place players, and lost on SoS. Congratulations to @joeski on his first place finish and thank you to FFG for providing the nationals prizes for this tournament.

That's it folks. We've entered the era of locally-sourced artisanal homebrew CTM decks.
