Android: Netrunner, as the other comment alludes to, an LCG originally made by FFG that is now supported by the non profit NISEI with print and play stuff.

I feel like you just made up those acronyms… I know you didn’t but I still feel like you did

I'll be a bit pedantic, but originally Android: Netrunner was made by WotC. It was one of the four TCGs created under the Deckmaster label, of which only MTG still exists.
FFG licensed it for a long time and made it one of their big LCGs, but a while ago WotC decided to not give them the license anymore (or did they ask for a lot more money for renewal or something? Not sure) so FFG basically had to stop making it despite it being quite successful.

Are you playing FFG Netrunner or Nisei?

I'm not playing shit. I dropped ANR around 23 seconds, because they ran basically universal anti resource cards, and those cards got popular and I got the fuck out of there. Board wipes on one card do not belong in netrunner, and the design got worse for me since.

I left the country that my ANR community was in shortly after that anyway, leaving all my cards. As we all know, Nisei exists but 🤷

The games I'm playing these days are Balatro and LiChess.

My decks are flush fives out of abandoned , hyperaccelerated dragon and Blackmar-Diemer Gambit 2. e4

EDIT : back in the ANR days I used to homebrew like crazy, it was the entire point of the LCG format. Fond favourites :

  • Bypass val , barely any breakers, using DDOS, inside job, plenty of recursion

  • Free Glacier HB, ABT priori rec, all the expensive ice (Janus, Orion etc) I had team sponsorship for win more and defensive ABT triggers. One time I locked someone out 100% when all their shit was in their discard and I chronos projected their discard away.

  • Drip econ with linear breakers (inc garrote) out of Nero Severn, including Underworld contacts. Facechecking whenever the fuck I wanted while sucking on drip econ was awesome. This was my signature build

  • Teleporting Caprice Nisei vegan blue sun. government takeover. I'd put the Caprice Nisei on R&D and after the turn I drew the agenda, pick her up, put her in the scoring server with the huge ass agenda. One time I just advanced government takeover without caprice, opponent thought it was a jank trap, and the I discovered that Government takeover had a click ability.

  • Reina Roja econ warfare. Siphon and Vamp, complete tag me, multiple plascretes.

I failed most jinteki shit I tried. They just avoided the traps. Industrial genomics before museum ... I didn't make it work well. One time I had a shaper deck using the default breakers and got to escher all the servers so it would be efficient (I lost that game). I had some generic decks with Kate, Ken Tenma.
