Congratulations to Alexander “GreatA1exander” Potapov on winning NANPC LA.


Sasha won the event on a glacier Aginfusion and a Spark fueled Kit deck. We asked them some questions about the lists they brought and their thoughts on the event!
Congratulations on your win at NANPC Los Angeles, You chose to bring Aginfusion And Kit to the event, why those decks?
I chose Aginfusion since I love jinteki glacier and I think it’s really well positioned right now with all the delicious sentries. I almost played Azmari kill or PD shoot the moon, but wanted to stick to something more different and dear to me. The logic with Kit was that I’ve loved Kit since early days and these are the last chances to really show off the fun of her tricks, especially with Lobisomem. The real trick is to not draw your breakers! (I’m not good at that)
How did you prepare for the event?
I prepared by playing almost these exact decks at our local San Diego monthly events and in our weekly meetups. Also discussing card choices with the crew and even making some swaps the night before! Shoutout To Sisyphus protocol for being a terrifying one of.
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
The grand final was a superb game in particular, Esa got off to 5-0 early on and I barely stabilized off of a bacterial steal. I managed to get multiple bio vaults and nisei counters and it got to the point where he was running for single accesses on rnd through an anansi, breaking just the indexing sub and I was popping vaults to stop it! Very picturesque.
Anyone you want to shout out?
I’d like to shout out my San Diego crew who we all drove up with! And then Tyler in particular for hanging out through the top cut and driving back with me and also convincing me to stick with my decks of choice.

Congratulations to Erin Celovsky for winning NANPC Montreal!
Erin brought a Prana Condenser PE list and Mining Accident 419 to the tournament. We spoke to Erin about her deck choices and what she thought about the event.
Congratulations on your win at NANPC Montreal! You chose to bring Personal Evolution And 419 to the event, why those decks?
Thank you! The PE is a deck I’ve been working on since Revolution Without Rehearsal. Like I said in its writeup, I often got frustrated playing against poorly built PE decks on JNet, so I opted to try my hand at it and see if I could do better. Mining Accident 419 has a long, long time love of mine, and every time Crim gains or loses cards, I check to see if I can still make it viable.
Anyways, in late 2023, I had major surgery and I wasn’t fully recovered until April 2024 or so. You’d think that’d give me a lot of time to jam games on JNet, but that was not the case. It was a long painful recovery. And then, when I was recovered, I was more focused on rebuilding my life career-wise. This is all to say, that I’ve been somewhat checked out of the competitive circuit for quite some time. So, when I went to my first major tournament in 2024, East Canadian Nationals, I brought off meta decks of what I was most comfortable with: the aforementioned PE and Aesop’s Lat. I immediately regretted the Lat choice, as the corp to beat was Precision Design. Then there was another big tournament in Toronto, the Suburban Wasteland, where I changed it up, and brought 419 and the Shoot the Moon PD. This time, it was my corp that let me down. The weeks before going to NANPC Montreal, I still didn’t have a ton of time to practice, especially with on-meta decks, so I brought decks that I knew well and had the reps with under my belt.
Corp decks seemed to be really aggressively oriented right now, to beat late game Shaper inevitability, so 419 seemed a good choice. And PE can cheese out wins in Swiss, and people seemed less teched for asset spam lately. So I felt confident despite being somewhat forced into my off-meta picks here.
How did you prepare for the event?
I think the key for having a successful tournament, much like having a successful vacation, is knowing what you enjoy and focusing on maximizing that. Don’t bother paying for flying business class if it means you can’t afford to go scuba diving. In this case, I’ve come to accept that I have the most fun at tournaments if I’m able to be competitive. I really hate losing a tournament game because I’m playing a jank deck that does fun things against a competitive deck that’s actually focused on winning. (It grinds my gears much less in a casual game.)
So, I was panicking a little in the week before, because I had not felt like I had nearly enough practice. I built a Weyland Built To Last glacier from scratch and brought it with me, but I realized I wouldn’t have that competitive fun I liked out of tournaments if I played it. My best chance for that was to play the strongest decks I had the most experience with. Once I had made up my mind about that, I was pretty serene on the ride down. I had some decent competitive experience with those decks from prior tournaments, so I could rely on that.
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
think there were two particular things that stand out to me.
First off, in Swiss, I was 2-0 going into round 3. I was feeling pretty good about my choices. Playing corp, and my opponent won off R&D. There wasn’t really any discrete play error of mine, these things happen (also my opponent played well, stayed calm and didn’t make sloppy plays.) That’s fine, I could eat a loss. We breaked for lunch, and I can eat a dumpling too. Then round 4, I kept a bad hand against a PD deck, and I had an absolutely miserable time. I just had no money all game, and it felt an exercise in futility. I lost, obviously.
But now, I was worried. I knew this kind of bad loss, to a sloppy mulligan choice on my part, had a very real possibility of sending me into a tailspin. So in the break between rounds, I put my headphones on, focused on my breathing, and tried to re-centre myself. Rounds 5, 6, and 7 were all hard fought, but I won them all. People like to think tournaments are all about these big moments where you make the daring play and it succeeds, but I find they’re more about consistency, and so taking the time to calm my nerves and refocus on playing my best game is what got me through Swiss more than anything else.
The other moment was in the cut, and I had a rematch against the same PD player from round 4. I remembered our earlier game and focused on learning that lesson of staying cool and level-headed. Drawing my opening hand, I saw that while it had a lot of engine pieces, it didn’t have any econ, so I mulliganed into something slightly better. Patience is rewarded. However, I still didn’t draw much more econ throughout the game, so in many ways, it really was a repeat of last time. Luckily, my opponent seemed to also have had a brick draw, and we were both clicking for credits. I had managed to land a bad publicity early, as well as stealing 5 points. I stayed calm and focused on my outs, namely hitting R&D as much as possible because they had really good control of agendas in and out of HQ. Again, patience was rewarded, and I topdecked the win off R&D. Redemption!
Anyone you want to shout out?
Obviously, I want to shout out to Andrej and the staff at Silver Goblin for running a great event. Andrej (and Mattie!) have got event running down to an art, and the space of the Silver Goblin is absolutely lovely, and the staff are friendly and make our tournament their priority. Montreal is my favourite city in Canada, and I love any excuse to travel there.
I’d like to shout out Joshua Quinlan and Chris Zeebag for running some great events in Toronto in the months prior. Pretty much all of my competitive practice this season was at those events.
I’d also really like to shoutout all the people who travelled to the event from out of province or country. These events are really all about the people, and I love seeing your faces (So glad I didn’t have to face Kysra’s corp in the cut however, it’d’ve eaten me alive! Sorry not sorry)
Lastly, I’d like to shoutout to Wenjong for not only driving the majority of the Toronto contingent down and back, but also for winning the throwback tournament on Day 2 for a full Toronto sweep! Our pride is restored!
Another congratulations to Erin for winning NANPC Montreal! Our NANPC leaderboard is now updated with results from all NANPC events! Stay tuned for an announcement at worlds regarding prizing for the top 8 finishers…
Congratulations to William “Sokka234” Huang for winning Cascadia!


William won the event with his iconic Aginfusion Glacier and “Boring” Lat decks. His third national win of the season, we caught up with William to get his thoughts on the event.
Congratulations on your win at Cascadia! You chose to bring Aginfusion And Lat to the event, why those decks?
These were very much comfort picks. I know the decks well, I know the matchups well, the decks are fun to play, and these two decks were what I used to win West Canadian Nationals and East US Nationals so there was really no reason to bring anything different.
How did you prepare for the event?
Having played in East US Nationals the weekend before, there wasn’t much prep for Cascadia in particular. The corp deck was exactly the same with a good matchup against an array of aggressive runners and can reasonably handle World Tree Arissana. The runner is similarly very strong and is largely the same from the weekend before. I decided to put in a second Deep Dive because I expected more fast HB decks and decks that have random sources of damages (Azef, City Works, PE, etc)
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
The game against Paillu in round 2 of the cut will forever be an all-time highlight. Score is 0-0. Paillu is playing Freedom with Hermes, God of War, Fermenter, and Leech installed, all with a bunch of virus counters. I’m playing Ag. I have 2 ice HQ, 2 ice R&D, 1 ice archives, and 3 ice on remote, all unrezzed. In the remote I have a rezzed La Costa and a Nisei MK II with 2 advancement counters. My hand is 3 agendas, Hansei, Subliminal. Paillu installs Crew and runs HQ. There’s a Seisentan that doesn’t make sense to rez because it can be broken by Leech and God of War. I trash it with Ag to redirect the run to archives (this is a misplay but don’t worry about). Paillu attempts another HQ run on click 3. I rez Anansi just to eat up the Crew, which it does. The access hit Hansei and 5 virus counters are used to Freedom trash it. Click 4 runs back into HQ and hits the 1/4 Subliminal. On my turn, with no ice in hand to protect HQ, I La Costa the Nisei to 3 counters, advance and score on click 1, Hermes is forced to bounce an ice back to hand, which is then installed protecting HQ on click 2, and click 3 is installing another agenda in the remote.
Anyone you want to shout out?
Shoutout to the ban list team for banning World Tree. Big relief.
A well earned congratulations to William for winning Cascadia! Our NANPC leaderboard is now updated with results from all NANPC events! Stay tuned for an announcement at worlds regarding prizing for the top 8 finishers…
Check out more photos from the event below:



Abraham has been a dominant force in West coast Netrunner, alongside his brother Charlie McBride, Abraham has cleaned up tournaments across the coast, while making his mark in a variety of online events. Abraham has shown a preference for Anarch, playing Reg Hoshiko, Esa or recently working on Sebastio. Abraham’s “Shoot the moon” PD list has also taken the tournament scene by storm. Will we see Abraham play his beloved Anarch and latest PD brew? Or instead innovate and take down the tournament with fresh lists?
Henry is a relative newcomer to the competitive Netrunner scene but has been making up for lost time. Henry is a shaper player, having played Lat and Ari to his three highest finishes. Corp side Henry plays a variety of decks, but recently expertly piloted “Barf” Thule to a top cut finish. In the last six months Henry has had his breakout placements, scoring top cut spots at the Online Showdown and NANPC Boston. With Cascadia being an opportunity for Henry to cement himself as one of the west coast’s best players, will his shaper and corp play be up to the challenge?
Jason is a mainstay of the Vancouver Netrunner community. Known for his love of shaper and immense skill with the faction, Jason has played shaper at a high level across several ID’s, including Wu, Lat and Ari. Jason is also a fan of Sportsmetal, having played it for years across several tournaments and showing a keen understanding of the deck. For Cascadia, will Jason play his classic Ari and Sportsmetal, or will we see him do something completely different to win the event?
With Cascadia fast approaching, the best the west coast has to offer will soon fight it out for first place. Be sure to follow the tournament and catch the stream here to follow the action live!
Congratulations to Stephen “StephenE” Ebery for winning NANPC San Francisco!
Stephen decided to bring his own twist on some established top decks from Jan Tuno, playing altered versions of Tuno’s Ob and Esa deck from EMEA. We caught up with Stephen to ask him some questions about his experience at the tournament!
Congratulations on your win at NANPC SF You chose to bring Ob And Esa to the event, why those decks?
Esa: I brought this deck because I’ve mostly been a Criminal player, but I’m not very happy with a lot of the Crim matchups right now. Aumakua is hurt by Obs all running 2 Maviruses and spicy sentries, and it can be hard for Crim to keep up with the speed of Asa or the glacier or Aginfusion or Azmari. With Esa, I don’t have to worry too hard about individual corp matchups, and can instead force them to worry about my extremely disruptive gameplay.
Ob: I think Asa and Ob are the 2 best decks right now, and I already played Asa at Off the Grid and APAC Continentals. I figured I’d take Ob to test out whether I liked it better, and it worked out pretty well for me!
How did you prepare for the event?
LA did not have a thriving in person scene for a while, but recently we’ve been getting 7-10 people for our casual meetups, which has been great! I’ve also been testing online with a group of mostly SF based players, and discussing our thoughts on the meta and sharing decklists. The particular lists I picked were mostly inspired by Tuno rather than my testing group though.
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
I played former World Champion Limes once in Swiss and once in the cut, and the cut game was really exciting! Limes had an 8 strength Bran (it’s base 6 strength, and they played Next Activation Command to boost it to 8), and I had to shuffle 2 Running Hot into my 9 card deck deck with Labor Rights, draw them with Nuka on my 2nd click, and play them with my 3rd and 5th clicks to get Begemot to 8 strength! After that, my deck was small enough that I could just shuffle a few Chastuskas in, draw them, and mill the corp. I didn’t really want to run archives because I figured (correctly) that it had an Ablative Barrier on it and it would just install a spin that shuffled back agendas.
Should we expect you at any NANPC events in the future?
Yes, I’ll be at Cascadia, and I’m running a NANPC event in LA on Saturday, September 7th! It’s very close to the Burbank airport if anyone wants to fly in that morning.
Anyone you want to shout out?
PJ20 has been my most frequent JNet sparring partner, and dezigerator has been my most frequent in person one! They’re great practice partners.
A big congratulations to Stephen for his win in San Francisco! August looks to be another packed month as Cascadia will take place on August 3rd to 4th and NANPC Montreal will take place on the 24th and 25th of August. The competition is heating up as the fight for NANPC circuit points only grows more fierce!
Congratulations to “Benvelopment” Blum for winning NANPC Philadelphia
Bblum won the event with Ob and Kit! The Ob was their own brew of the classic “tempo” Ob list, while they picked a homebrewed Kit list tuned to take down the event. We caught up with Bblum for their thoughts on the event!
Congratulations on your win at NANPC Philadelphia You chose to bring Ob And Kit to the event, why those decks?
I don’t think I need to tell anyone why I brought Ob but one thing worth pointing out is I wanted to prove that Arella Salvatore is the better upgrade in a rush deck. I bought Kit because Inversificator gives you the sort of deep multi-turn, controlling the board, advance planning feeling you used to get with Prepaid Kate and is really the first time I’ve had fun playing runner in several years. and also it’s another pittsburgh homebrew so my whole team has been trying to get it noticed for a while.
How did you prepare for the event?
I don’t know, we prepared like we always do, jam games against known top decks for about a week and argue about whether we should play the third bravado or a tech card (it should have just been the bravado though).
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
Honestly all 3 cut games vs Brandon, he’s such a delight. In the last one, vs Esa I got stuck with both Magnet and Thimblerig unrezzed on HQ and he wouldn’t let me rez them so I eventually had to trash the Magnet and spin it back just to have access to code gates (which is critical vs Esa’s breakers). afterwards I asked why he never ran hq and he said “well I could tell something was wrong and I didn’t know what, I had accessed both archers so I thought you were trying to shuffle it back so you could get it with eminent, and if I ran HQ it would let you feed tithe to Stavka to get spin so I shouldn’t run HQ and just focus on what’s already rezzed.” His reasoning was completely wrong but led him to make the right decision anyway and I thought that was really insightful.
Should we expect you at any NANPC events in the future?
Unlikely but I will be at worlds, and also Pittsburgh is definitely gonna have a regionals next year so please come to our beautiful city 🙂
Anyone you want to shout out?
Marcus, he’s done a lot of work growing the community in Pittsburgh and also invented the kit deck. Colin, he’s a great testing partner and has come a long way for being a recent convert to the game. Ysengrin, he knows why. barts bagels near redcaps, that horseradish cc is the bomb.
A huge congratulations to Bblum for taking down NANPC Philadelphia. August looks to be another packed month as Cascadia will take place on August 3rd to 4th and NANPC Montreal will take place on the 24th and 25th of August. The competition is heating up as the fight for NANPC circuit points only grows more fierce!
Jonas is one of the most prolific deckbuilders and players on the east coast. Having played Netrunner for 8+ years, Jonas has repeatedly brought innovative decks to the format, including Potential Unleashed Grinder, Hard Hitting News Asa and refinements to Worldtree Ari. Jonas has also proved himself as a competitor, netting multiple top 16 finishes at Worlds. Jonas looks to be a favorite for NANPC Philadelphia. The question is whether Jonas will bring a new deck to this tournament, or continue to refine existing archetypes such as Worldtree Ari.
Dhairya has been a rising star in the east coast tournament scene. While Dhairya can be spotted playing any and every local CO in the boston area, Dhairya has also traveled for a variety of tournaments, including playing up and down the east coast in NYC and other cities. Dhairya is also an innovative deckbuilder, experimenting and finding success with new ideas in R+ and The Outfit. For NANPC Philadelphia, keep an eye on Dhairya as he looks to continue to climb the NANPC Circuit Points Leaderboard
Starting in 2023, Lucas has had steadily more success at tournaments, placing in the top fitth of a variety of major events. Now in 2024, Lucas has progressed to coming within striking distance of the cut at several events. Known as a prolific Ob and Reg Anarch player, Lucas can often be spotted grinding out Ob games at tournaments
With NANPC Philadelphia shaping up to be a large competitive east coast event, it could be Lucas’s opportunity to crack the top 8 with his Ob gameplay.
NANPC Philadelphia is looking to be an exciting event! Pay attention to these players as the event begins, and check back in with us after the event as we recap who won!
The NANPC Circuit returns to the east as players get ready to compete at the iconic Redcap’s Corner! Come on down and enjoy a great weekend of Netrunner as players from across the east coast head to Philadelphia.
Prizing will be of the standard NANPC Fermenter Promo, NANPC Dice and a variety of other prize support! Day one will consist of the main standard event and 8 rounds of single sided swiss with a cut to top 8. Day two will have a variety of side events, including Startup Pods, Cube Draft and Pack Draft. In addition, Sanjay will be running a narrative campaign event! More information can be found here.
Get excited for NANPC Philadelphia as the best the east coast has to offer competes for first place!
Congratulations to Sebastian Kocz for winning Off The Grid!

Sebastian took down the event with his signature “Big Ob” weyland deck, using Mutually Assured Destruction and a deluge of installed cards to overwhelm the runner. His runner deck was a value oriented Lat list, aimed at grinding down the corporation.
We caught up with Sebastian for his thoughts on the event!
Congratulations on your win at Off The Grid! You chose to bring Ob and Lat to the event, why those decks?
I’ve been playing this Ob on and off since Worlds. It is a comfort pick which I also expected to be good in the meta following a tournament where many non-hoshiko runners shined: I couldn’t pass up the chance to play it. My favorite runner right now is World Tree Ari, but I didn’t want my wrists falling off from too much shuffling, so I went with Sokka’s Lat from continentals. He claimed in his writeup that it could deal with a multitude of threats, and a good all-round deck was what I wanted in a corp meta that hadn’t solidified yet.
How did you prepare for the event?
I had just come off from preparing a lot for American continentals the weekend before, so I was already running pretty hot. I knew Ob well enough that I didn’t need to practice any more with it, so I focused on Lat. I was able to get in about 15 smurf games against randoms and a few more games against fellow TAI-breakers. I also asked Sokka for his game replays from continentals, which he graciously shared along with some notes about each game. Watching him play helped me get in a more reactive mindset, which this Lat requires.
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
My last Lat game in swiss was wild. I was against RH, and we were both on game point after many twists and turns. As the clock was running out, my opponent installed and double advanced a card in the remote. There were two facedown upgrades in the remote that I hadn’t managed to deal with, and I only had 1 Pinhole threading. Fearing two Anoetic Voids, I pinholed archives to trash one, and then ran HQ to force the corp to give me back another pinhole with DJ Steve.
Archives was iced, and I wanted to save the revolver counters, so I pinholed a remote that had a single unrezzed ice. The ice on the scoring server still wasn’t rezzed, so I figured the corp may not have enough money to rez something like an Anansi. Turns out, the ice was a Konjin, which could force me to encounter an Anansi for cheap and ruin all my math. I had to win the psi game. We put our hands under the table to prepare the bid. Absent-mindedly in the lead up to the event, I had been practicing the motion of bidding zero on a psi game. So, it only seemed right to bid that. When we open our palms, they are both empty.
The pinhole revealed that the second upgrade was a mavirus, so all that effort was wasted, but thankfully I still had just enough credits to break in and steal the winning Fuji (and one left over, so I could have trashed a second void if there was one!).
Should we expect you at any NANPC events in the future?
There is a chance I’ll go to Cascadia, it will have to be a last-minute decision though.
Anyone you want to shout out?
TAI breakers for the great comradery so far this season and welcoming me into the fold, and Sokka for the tips on playing the Lat. Also Orbs for organizing, and CTZ and cranked for some hilarious commentary.
July looks to be a packed month for NANPC events, with NANPC Philadelphia running from the 13th to the 14th of July, and NANPC San Francisco running the week after on July 20th! Circuit points have also been updated. Keep your eyes peeled as we reveal our end of year prizing for the top 8 finishers on the NANPC Leaderboard!
Check out below for some photos from the event!




Congratulations to Eric “Whiteblade111” for winning NANPC Boston!

Eric won on a pair of aggressive decks: A Fast Advance Sportsmetal list and a Zahya deck that used central pressure and multi access to rush down defending corporations. The finals was a confrontation between two west coast players, with Eric coming up from the losers bracket and winning twice to cinch the tournament, including a nail biter game versus Charlie’s Thule!
Congratulations on your win at NANPC Boston! You chose to bring Sportsmetal And Zahya to the event, why those decks?
My testing team (Snarebears) had worked on the Sportsmetal internally and was happy with it. I didn’t have a lot of time to practice but I love the archetype. I also expected a lot of value oriented Hoshiko decks in the field, so an aggressive orthogonal corp seemed like the right decision. I was supposed to play Hoshiko runner side but pivoted to Zahya at the last minute. Zahya is my favorite deck in the game, and if I think it’s even remotely reasonable to play her, I will.
How did you prepare for the event?
I was graduating law school the week before I left for NANPC Boston so I didn’t have a lot of time to practice. I jammed a lot of Jnet before the event and just totally faceplanted online. I had to trust my team had cooked up a sick corp deck and I could remember how to run. I played some last minute games in paper against tf34 at 2am the night before the event in which tf34 wrecked my Hoshiko with PD, so I swapped to Zahya.
Did you have any memorable games or moments on the day?
It was so lovely to see everyone at the event. The atmosphere was incredible and it was nice to just hang out with my friends. My games against the “Barf Thule” over the day were interesting and playing against Charlie in the finals was great. I have a lot of respect for Charlie as a player, and it really felt like we got to play some high level netrunner against each other. Playing against my friend Chris in the semi finals was also a treat. He’s a really great guy, and it was fun playing a high stakes game that was also friendly and fun.
Should we expect you at any NANPC events in the future?
I’ll be running Cascadia on August 3rd to 4th, so come attend! As for playing, I think my year might be done. You’ll probably be able to spot me at some local west coast stuff, but this was my big travel event for the year. It was nice to cap it off with a win!
Anyone you want to shout out?
I want to thank Notagain for organizing the event, Andrej, Eric and Cado for running the stream, Ysengrin for judging, and everyone for attending and playing the event. It was an awesome day of Netrunner, and I’m very proud that the community made it happen. I’d also like to thank the Snarebears for the hard carry on the corp side, while entertaining my delusions that “Zahya is totally viable trust me guys”
July looks to be a packed month for NANPC events, with NANPC Philadelphia running from the 13th to the 14th of July, and NANPC San Francisco running the week after on July 20th!
