"Boomers Café"

Updated iteration of this list, placing 4th at the Colorado North Circuit Opener.

This version is significantly improved, making some lean cuts, and bailing on the late-game Cezve economy, in favor of more aggression: Cup and Burner to pressure HQ, and Revolver to help with face-checks before we get a Boomer on the Café.

Aniccam also turns out to be much better in the slot than LilyPAD: we run a lot of events, and it pays off more consistently (cheese it out with Trick Shot and Café, and you get an instant card refund when Trick hits the bin).

We also swapped Conduit for Nyashia; it turns out that free digs for 3-4 is plenty good on its own.

Unfortunately, the deck still struggles with consistency, even with 8 draw cards, and the free Lat draw. We can still do okay if it takes a while to find Café or Aesop’s, but I find this deck just has a higher prevalence of "weird draw" games than most runner decks. It's a solid performer and really fun to pilot, but the consistency will probably keep this archetype from ever being Tier 1 (somebody please prove me wrong).
