This deck went undefeated at the SC for a total of 6-0 facing 4x NEH decks, a Gagarin and an HB. It carried my NeH to top 4 final round. Unfortunately my NeH lost and i ended up 2nd.

I have been working on Leela with Turntable and Gang Sign since they were released and my first version had made it to deck of the week at the time and one of the most liked Leela decks in NRDB. This was the first time i took the deck to a SC since i was in love with Sunny for some time but after seeing NBN bullshit everywhere i got Leela out for a spin.

Sorry to all those that commented on the first published version of the deck and asked for an update on it. I was a bit late but never late than never aye?

Truth is i wanted a deck that crushes yellow no matter the id since the first SC i attended had literally all NBN and 1 Gagarin.

All these months i've been playtesting it every now and then trying to make it better. Actually crushing yellow is big enough of a deal but it had to be at the very least decent vs other corps too. So after months of playtesting it this is the final version and i don't think i'd change anything apart from trying to make some room for Political Operative and Councilman when they get released. Those two cards rule.

• I will try to go through the deck to explain my choices

EVENTS

Standard criminal events. I had 1 influence left so i went for Employee Strike for the pesky likes of Haarpsicord and IG also the occasional roaming Blue Sun that comes to shit on Whizzard: Master Gamer and lose to everyone else.

• before you start with the 'omg Letsaros y u no use Fisk Investment Seminar' talk let me go ahead and say t. I've tried it. More than you know. Months of trying to make it good. I didn't like it in this version and since deck space is a thing and it's never enough i booted it.

• Same for Emergency Shutdown. This deck runs and CAN play aggro but will never be as aggro as standard Leela. Emergency Shutdown is not a necessity. If you find you need it then make space for it. I never missed it in more than 200 games all these months. (yes 200)

• Drive By. Good card but not enough space and people can always rez their cards if they suspect it. Also we run enough money to trash the likes of Sansans and Team Sponsorships all day long.

HARDWARE

• It's a Gang Sign deck so 3x HQI without a doubt. You need them early...no scratch that... you need them. Period.

• 1x Plascrete Carapace because you can't be too careful

• 3x Turntable because 'Turntableela' duh... 3x, not 2x. You need the first to hit the table as early as you can. Even if you have no Gang Sign install. The reason being because the moment the corp scores that juicy Astro you trigger Leela and you have a window to play and steal another agenda on your turn that you can swap for Astro and that is VERY important. I would never go to less than 3x.

RESOURCES

I won't go through match detail here. Resources are pretty obvious. 3x Gang Sign because it's what our deck is all about, Kati Jones and Same Old Thing for the same reasons all criminals play them.

• Bank Job and Data Dealer are meta choices. Bank Jobs are there for easy money in 2 clicks. It's your best econ card vs any NBN deck bar your Account Siphon. You can be at 1 credit, install it. run any remote, get 8, run Sansan and trash it. Data Dealer is for News Team shenanigans and any IG Shi.kyu. Also if you happen to get a 15 Minutes that you can't swap because you have no Turntable installed go ahead. Sell that annoying little yellow piece of cough cough.

PROGRAMMS

• Pretty standard Criminal stuff. That meaning we use our influence for any good decoders and fracters. Who would have guessed. (Thank you FFG)

• Added Mongoose because it's awesome. The card speaks for itself. Cheaper to play than the rest of blue Killers and can break most Sentries in the meta cheaper too.

• Inti . Yes Inti. It's not because i can't find more influence to get a second Corroder. I really could. It's because most NBN decks run Faparound and Resistor and Inti is 2 credits cheaper than Corroder. When you play Criminals, 2 credits early matter. Never install it vs any other id than a yellow one...like ever. (be careful of Elis. Yellow doesn't run 3x anymore but be ready for it. there are crazy, crazy people in this world we live in)

• 1x Lonely Medium. Would like it to be 2x but no influence. 3 is a big number. Needless to say you since you run a bit less than normal aggro Leela Patel: Trained Pragmatist you will have clicks to spare and you will draw. It's a secondary or win condition to put a bigger pressure on RnD. #medium has won me games.

...aaaaaaand that's all folks.

I did my best that i could do with my favorite runner ID. Really wish my corp didn't betray me and lost to the same Whizzard: Master Gamer 3 times. (1 in Swiss and 2 in the double elimination) but it's Whizzard and the guy piloting is a very good player. Well at least i crushed his NEH with Leela twice so i at least got my revenge XD

Thank you all for reading. I hope you like this deck and have fun playig it.
