Local Dad, Ben Hamill<p>I don't post about <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Netrunner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Netrunner</span></a> enough, but it's, like, my main hobby? I go to locals basically every Thursday (sometimes life happens, you know).</p><p>Last week, a newer player had asked after the Startup format since the local meta had generally fallen into playing only Standard kind of out of laziness, TBH. Like, I know for my own self, I saw there'd been new bans and a new rule about 3-point agendas for deck construction and just kinda went, "Bluuuuuuh. That feels too hard."</p><p>Anyway, we said we'd make Startup decks and bring 'em for last night, which we did. My worries about the deck building stuff were entirely whatever (in netdecked two decks and only have to make 1 swap to make them both legal under the new rules). Runner was Ari which I had to swap Creative Commission out for Gambles and only got to play one game with (got Fuji-Neurospiked). Corp was an Epiphancy deck that was super fun to play. It just makes a ton of money, spams assets and then scores behind very annoying ice.</p><p>Anyway, a nice reminder that Netrunner is fun to play and if you play it you will have a good time.</p>
