Can someone clue me in as to who Dan D'Argenio is and why that is apparently a thing?

He's also known for taking the most "degenerate" decks available in the meta.

Also does anyone know if there are any streams besides the official FFG one?

Afriscipio posted:He's also known for taking the most "degenerate" decks available in the meta. That's more of his Regionals and Store Champs shtick. He won 2014 with ETF/Andy and 2015 with ETF/Val. CI7 seems like a weird choice, but I'm guessing he's on Power Shutdown Boom too? The other reason he's bigly in the community is that Reddit will bend over backwards to praise anything he says. But, as far as I can tell, he refuses to speak up in defense of attempts to diversify the player base. Which probably contributed to why Reddit sucks his dick. Also, he attends major events wearing a wife beater with his own name printed on it. Edit: Top 96 Corp decks: 71% NBN 38.5% CTM 63% Anarch 44% Whizz 2 Adams and 1 Sunny made day 2 though. Now, in fairness, if I had been able to make it, I'd be on CTM/Nexus Kate, so grain of salt taken. ZorajitZorajit fucked around with this message at 18:28 on Nov 4, 2016 |

Dan's been on CI for a while, although rereading it I don't know if he's on Boom or 7 point combo.

Please, everyone knows that King of Servers is the important Netrunner event this week. This is entirely unrelated to me being in KoS but not being able to get a slot in Worlds.

From testing with the two Bay Area KoS teams, if you aren't drunk before you take your first mandatory draw in KoS, then you aren't trying hard enough. At least that is their ultimate strategy for Saturday.

Also 4 of the top 16 are from the Bay Area team! (Counting Timmy Wong as he was training with all of us and I think is on the same decks that the Bay Area folks ended up playing over there).

Red Sands scoops right now. E: new Jinteki Identity- Aginfusion: Once per turn, instead of rezzing an approached piece of ICE, you may trash it and choose another server. The runner is now running on that server and encountering the outermost piece of ICE, if any. 45/17 berenzen fucked around with this message at 19:40 on Nov 4, 2016 |

May I suggest splashing for Executive Boot Camp to rez a Whirlpool over a well-trapped archives and live the dream?

I'm bringing this Runner and this Corp deck to my LGS tonight to refresh myself on how to play and teach others how to play. They seem simple enough.

I guess the MWL doesn't matter much when your faction is stuffed with good cards, heh edit: I presume those Val decks are all Rebirth, right? Just don't tell me they're Blackmail spam.

FFG should really just cut out the middle-man and remove all factions other than Anarch and NBN.

Anarch/NBN all the way. Can't say I'm at all surprised, they're both far and away the best factions on their respective sides. At least with Anarch that hasn't been true for the last 4 years, NBN is going to be, and has been king for life.

^^Actually I was wondering about a GNK or something where NBN and Anarch were both banned, but I guess it would just be ETF vs Nexus Kate and Temujin Andysucker as far as the eye could see

Though for all the (justified) bitching, this will be the first year NBN has won Worlds. IIRC ETF has won twice and RP once so far. Top 8 gonna be really repetitive though.
