Central Hammer Leela - Undefeated ANRCP Gothenburg

Antler 42

A Leela deck I've been tinkering with lately. Been having good results online, so I brought it out to Gothenburgs NACH ANRCP Tournament and got a fourth place. Leela went undefeated.

The basic plan is to hammer R&D and HQ, while digging for Corporate Scandal and Blackmail. The amount of central pressure makes it difficult for the corp to build up a proper scoring remote, If they try to score out with a single ICE, running it is mostly fine, even if it means a less efficient Blackmail for later. Do what you can to get out a Political Operative early on, as running with a Blackmail only to be stopped by a Caprice/Ash is kinda horrible. Cerberus Rex is for those emergency remote accesses.

It's a very fun deck to pilot, that puts a lot of economic strain on the corp to rez things to keep you out, and it makes mad bucks too. Considered slotting Employee Strike against IG, but I'm a bad competitive player, and didn't wanna dillute my deck with IG specific tech as I already hate and loath the match up to no end.

Biggest takeaway; Don't be afraid to get tagged against no kill matchups, even if they can take your empty Kati and Gang Signs. With the Interface pressure, getting accesses can often be worth it.
