Seattle Phoenix Comics and Games 3/8/2014 SC 1st place corp

This deck pseudo-won one of the Seattle SCs (14 entrants) yesterday. I only say pseudo because I would have had to play Andrew Veen (2nd at worlds) in the finals but he conceded to give more players first round byes at regionals since he already had one. He beat me proper in Swiss rounds, but at least one of the games felt close to me (my corp game I was one turn away from winning).

Anyway, it's a Making News Midseason deck. It's based off of Jesse Vandover's semifinalist Worlds deck, but updated for Fear and Loathing. A lot of the tools that he was using in there NBN can now get influence free, so I used the extra influence on a bunch of Celebrity Gifts for even more burst economy. The goal is to tax the runner with expensive to break ice and make it hard to run servers repeatedly.
