girls wins
(This post was originally posted on Cohost.)
a few months ago, I played a deck called girls at a local tournament. it was really fun and the next day I decided that I was allowed to call myself a woman.
two weeks ago, @AceEmpress and I played an updated version of girls at Bristol Regionals and went 6-1 between us: the highest winrate of a runner deck at that tournament. we were let down by our corp play though so didn't place as highly as that would suggest.
on Saturday, I judged a tournament at the same venue as that first tournament - Midlands Regionals. I couldn't play because of judging, but six other players brought that deck to the tournament - five of whom were in QEH, the local testing group which between us spent time improving the deck. four of the six made top cut, with a record of 13-4 between them. the grand finals was between two girls players (one of whom was @AceEmpress). this deck had the highest winrate at the tournament.
my little trans deck is suddenly a serious force in Netrunner, and it's hilarious. the identity card (the runner you're playing as) has basically never seen play until now (she was released in 2018) and now people are seriously thinking about changing their corp decks to help in the girls matchup. given that I don't think I've ever really touched the competitive scene until now, I am proud and bewildered in equal measure.
in short: girls wins (here's the deck, it has a silly meme in it so you should look)
