Reading the Card Explains the Card: A Case Study

Well Well Well I have fallen into the trap, I tested this deck out in person before the event and damn did I miss read Juli I thought she would work when clicking with conduit Luckily I figured this out as I was playing the second round the Districts and the first round I was playing runner. This deck didn't preform well at all, but my corp deck just a net decked Bland PD. I came in 8th overall in districts so performed well.

Runner Performance

Round 2: Running against a new player Leo who was in a kill Azmari I was feeling pretty good, ripped 4 cards off R&D with conduit and stole a Send a Message and Leo really sent a message by then playing double Punitive.

Round 4: Running against Paul's Sports Metal Asset spam, I scored a few points but couldn't keep up with all the assets and didn't deal with the Warm Reception and then we got into a bit of a bouncing war when I have Tào & Hermes and Paul had Amani Senai. I posted by Paul scoring a Project Vitruvius

Round 6: I ran against Etienne using what appeared to have been card for card the same deck as my Bland PD. I lost to that without even scoring a single time despite ripping through like 7 cards on R&D in 2 turns with conduit. I got down all my ice breakers and could break most of the ice on the board for 1 or 2 credits. I just had a hard time contesting the remote server, I think I mostly tunnel visioned R&D and then when I tried to break up the remote server it was too late and I should have just ripped 4-5 more new cards off R&D.

For the Corperation I'm gonna put the description here because I don't want to make a new deck list for a list I didn't create.

Round 1: the runner was Cullen playing a Red Steve I did the smart play and didn't ice up R&D turn 1 and did in fact get doffed and then he Bravado my Rashida I managed to claw my way back through this and scored 2 early offworlds and then a mid game Architect Deployment which game me enough momentum to score out and win the game with a last Off World. Cullens deck had a hard time finding the Ice Breakers so it just got a bit lucky and he only stole a single Ikawah from all his runs into HQ.

Round 3: Runner was David, a Newer player who was playing a sable Knife Deck. Turn one was pretty good another play against criminal another time I didn't ice up HQ turn on. But this time I didn't get knived, the game went a bit long not finding many points early David stolen an early Off World but I clawed back, scoring an Off World, Architect Deployment, and finished it with a double seamless onto a Ikawah This was another match that seemed like it was hard for the runner to get through the late game when I had so much ice from unbroken drafters. Along with David only finding one of his Knifes.

Round 5: Runner was Caleigh another relatively new player she said she was playing for about 6 months, she was playing [Loup}(https://netrunnerdb.com/en/card/30001) it seemed like the typical Flower Mulch Deck This game went a while not neither player seeing a single agenda for the first about 7 turns of the game. It was the closets for going to time only having about 1 minute left before time before I finished out the game. Caleigh got a single Ikawah While I scored out an Architect Deployment, Off World and finished it off with triple seamless for a flashy finish.

I would say to round up the corporation side of this tournament I just got lucky and had a load bearing tranq that would usually fix my economy quickly with both Architect Deployment and Drafters letting me fire this a couple times and even on runner turns.

To Wrap this up I think maybe you should test interactions on Jnet it's at least better then play testing with a friends that only really play magic to at least inform you that the cards are in fact a non-bo.

A Big thank you to Andrej on the Metropole Grid for putting on an amazing event and the lonely city of Montreal letting my Partner go on adventures while I sat in a room playing with cardboard.
