Birthday Seb (WORLD'S BEST SEB!!)

This is just Council's Italian nats-winning list with 1 bones swapped for 2 pinhole to make a clean 60 cards. It went 3-3 on day 1, but my corp went 4-1 so I managed to make day 2. I lost my first game on day 2, which eliminated the chance of making the cut. I ended up dropping, having foolishly forgotten that I did want the Wheels and the Hearts and Minds playmat. But it is what it is.

In a field of 204 players, I think I did pretty well finishing at 50th. And the distinction of best in my ID feels nice, though the inverse of what happened to me at CBI (undefeated on Corp, but there were 4 other Weylands who were "better" because they had a better record overall). This deck is fun as hell to play, and I'm really happy I spent the time to learn it. My success I attribute to 2 factors:

1. I asked for a fixed table this year. Turns out if you're disabled you should get accommodated?? Wild.

2. QTM!!! What a group. What a wonderful, beautiful group of people. I really loved seeing everybody. That's why I consider all of you part of this deck (this list is largely vibes-based and based on my experience at worlds):

• Paillu/Frogs - The powerhouse of the deck for our powerhouse deckbuilder.
• Kyra - Just a good card that wins games and CoS. Will feel like something's missing when she's not around.
• Rielle - An intercontinental champion-level card, also won CoS.
• Pan - A joy to see in my every time hand. Server recaps are always a net positive!
• Fi/Angels - An anarch staple with a deep lore.
• Kay - Goes with steelskin and moshing, but also really good on its own. Like, gaining credits is objectively good in Netrunner. (tone superlative)
• Mallory/Harper - Awoof! Very good at vibing with everyone else.
• Millenomi - Just gave me a whole bunch of cool alt arts and stickers for free??? Thank you??
• Hideyoshi - One of the first people I saw. Carries the deck, carried my bag.
• Cpt_nice - Vibes, but would have loved to see more and play more than 1 board game!!
• Slapdash - The other first person I saw, a staple of the deck, necessary to keep functional.
• 🐌 - It had suggested this card for the original list, but also it's just very good. I always vibe with cards that fuck with PAWs. Another intercontinental-champion level card.
• cado - Master of audio, I think I only got to use it like once :(
• chord gang - The heart of QTM. Friend of a friend of a friend of a friend--
• monde - Possibly my favorite card, who I make a point to see as much as possible yet do not see nearly enough.
• Malina - Also vibes, but very good at lifting others up and saved me from completely losing in sidereal.
• Ams - Definitely one of the hardest-working cards in the deck. If they're not the first person you see at the venue, mulligan for venue.
• DeeR - The deck's win con, for our highest performing member. No other reason 👀
• Styx - Another card which simply wins games, CoS winner. Tremendous support card.
• PiCat - Birb card <3
• Wirecutter - Apparently you came by The Globe while I was playing Brass Birmingham??? I didn't get to see you :(
• izzy - The other heart of QTM, another card I see often but not often enough. Blue hair vibes.
• Trillian - Obvious synergy with turtle, but also really good at supporting the whole QTCrew.
• Juniper - Bug!!! Good bug.
• Serenity - An old head who destroyed everyone at board games twice.
• Everyone at QTM who couldn't been there - As we like to say, everyone joins the crew eventually. So everyone in QTM was truly part of the deck it in the end.
