Spark of Originality (4th @ Omaha Districts)

Hello and welcome to my T̶e̶d̶T̶a̶l̶k̶ first published deck! There are many grug Kit decks like this, but this one is mine.

I've been playing since late 2023 after having watched a particular Shut Up & Sit Down video going over System Gateway. I bought the set, brought it to my local meta and the rest is history. I even went to worlds 2024 where I volunteered as a judge and met a lot of you lovely people.

This deck is a bit of a labor of love. In November I tried out @cablooshe's Run Four Trick Shots after being a little frustrated with Crim's place in the meta. This deck had crazy value and broke through ICE like it was nothing.

Then, Trick Shot was banned. What was I to do? Well I tried to maintain the spirit of the deck while keeping it legal and brought it to the New Year Showdown.

I did okay but not great in that tournament, but I had a blast. I felt like I wanted to keep working on the deck to make it fit my play style. Burner combos well with Deep Dive since you can put an agenda on top of R&D before you rip it off the top while meeting the requirements for Deep Dive. I've stolen 4-5 points in one turn a couple of times by ordering it that way.

This deck ran into a few difficulties in my local district facing Weyland decks with SDS Drone Deployment. I had a few avenues to recur, but losing Lobisomem would slow me down a decent amount. I considered going back to Crim, but I decide to use this Kit deck one more time before it rotates with Elevation's release. I end up dropping Miss Bones for Scrubber due to Kit's small influence to make room for Hannah "Wheels" Pilintra.

When we heard that the relatively close Omaha meta was hosting their own district championship, seven of us in the Colorado meta decided to drive to Omaha to i̶n̶v̶a̶d̶e̶ join their district tournament!

Adding Wheels to the deck worked out well and allowed me to get an extra click on a Deep Dive to snag an Ikawah Project. Keeping Pinhole Threading proved useful against glacier so leaving in tools for various matchups helped quite a bit. I only missed Miss Bones a little, but Scrubber proved useful for trashing some nasty cards I found in HQ and R&D.

This is the first time making top cut and it was a blast! I was mostly hoping to make top half but having experience with my decks proved very helpful.

Thanks to @GameOfDroids for being such a wonderful host/TO and another thanks to the local Omaha meta and the Des Moines meta for a great day of Netrunner! Also congrats to @solemn_storm for winning two back to back district championships!
