Grooving (and losing): 1-4, 44th at ACC

Is Tom Cardy an Arissana enjoyer?

literally everybody in competitive netrunner right now

This is a variation of World Tree Ari, using In the Groove for some more value.

This list consistently gets Sure Gamble value out of In the Groove, which is insane considering it costs 0 and it can also be used for card draw.

Quick think about how many installs you can get in one turn after playing In the Groove:

• 3 clicks by default.
• So it's shaper, so Simulchip, Muse, and Self-modifying Code can all provide +1 from the norm.
• World Tree + Arissana can turn a 1-click run into 2 installs.
• Pichação click?

By default it's possible to get 3-4 with World Tree, and anything else is just a bonus. Using the tree also means you won't just be sitting back and installing stuff for a turn, and can be a bit more proactive while also getting value.

Side note: Aesops can give a ton of late-game value since you're installing so much (and probably not trashing it all with World Tree).

Lost a lot of games during conts. I think the issue is less In the Groove, and more that it's a 79 card list thats going into stuff like Sportsmetal: Go Big or Go Home. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too slow. The only win came from being able to abuse Conduit runs to get rnd lock while setting up faster then Azmari, which feels very much like an outlier game.

The main fix would be to remove like 20 cards. I made this list 79 because the OB I brought is also 79 cards, and wanted matching deck sizes. Literally no other reason, just drop like Environmental Testing, one or two Stoneship Chart Rooms, the T400 Memory Diamond (barf tech), Egret (lol), and maybe like the Kyuban and Paricia since they're 0-cost. Keep cutting and you'll find something not too bad here i think.

Huge shoutout to everyone running Conts this year. I had an absolute blast playing in it!
