Next, we turned our attention to the Runner deck, showcasingWhizzard(What Lies Ahead, 1). Like theCorp Deck, the2016 Android: Netrunner Champion Runner Deckfeatures the complete deck, exactly as it was used to win the World Championships, but now featuring beautiful extended art on every card.
We spoke to Chris Dyer about his reasons for playing Whizzard, and he said, I was really playing Whizzard as a direct counter to Controlling the Message, which wethought was clearly the best Corp deck and therefore the one we were going to have to play against the most. The three recurring credits are crucial to be able to contest the early assets that Controlling the Message plays without hurting your economy too much. At that point, the only decision was which sort of Whizzard we should play.
