Description
Welcome to the first online edition of COSTUME PARTY, a custom format brewed up by the witches in the Austin Texas Netrunner community that has been played on Halloween for six years straight. Now, for the first time, being held online!
The format is simple:
- Choose ANY IDENTITY from the history of netrunner, from Andromeda to Baz (minus a short banlist, see below)
- Switch that identity's faction! Make criminals into anarchs, make HB into NBN, make apex into a shaper, your choice. The influence, decksize, and text remain the same, all that changes is the color.
- Build the rest of your deck with the current standard cardpool and banlist.
The event will be held in the Netrunner Event Hub Discord and the games will be played on jnet. Do note that none of your decks will be legal ib hubteju, so all decks must be played in the "casual" format. Hope to see you there in costume!
Banlist:
Runner:
* Leela
* Liza
Corp:
* Industrial Genomics
* Potential Unleashed
* Skorpios
* MTI
* Reality+
All standard cardpool bans also apply.
Additionally, if the runner is Apex, Sunny, or Adam, all cards from that faction are added to the standard cardpool for deckbuilding purposes. However, since you must shift factions, you would then need to pay for those cards with influence. For example, if you played as criminal sunny, you could include Security Nexus in your deck, but you'd have to pay 3 of your 25 inf for each copy. And yes, this means every Adam deck must pay for three starting directives, and thus every Adam deck is down 9 influence to begin with. If you have any further questions, please message me on discord @junipertheory.
