Alt art Goodnight Moon made by Matt West

Estelle Moon is terrorizing the Netrunner world with persistent asset prison. Everyone knows what you are about once they see her, just lots of assets and FA. Wouldn't it be a pleasant change of pace if someone used that draw and cash to 1. Find a kill combo 2. Win a trace/24/7 3. Kill the runner.

My first thought upon reading her card was "2 credits and a card for each token, I could find a kill combo really fast with with that"

The core of this deck is what NEH kill decks have always done, tax money and clicks while getting free draw to find the kill combo of 24/7 News Cycle, BOOM! or Midseason Replacements, BOOM!.

Estelle just dials it up to eleven.

AGENDAS

15 Minutes is a 2/1 that I can get back, helps clear currents and sets me up for the kill

AstroScript Pilot Program helps me increase threat and provoke runs to check NA items to trigger Hard-Hitting News and Midseason Replacements

Breaking News is the 2/1 that makes yellow kill work. The primary combo is to have it and another agenda scored and then trigger 24/7 News Cycle and then BOOM! for the kill. Score on draw if able.

Explode-a-palooza : Listen, the runner is gonna steal some agendas, nothing to be done BUT what if those agendas became restructures for us? That would probably scare a runner or two.

Net Quarantine Is another 4/2 since I have no free influence for NAPD Contract.

Project Beale gives me a NA cheat out possibility and forces my opponent to check everything, buying me precious time.

ASSETS 2x Daily Business Show helps me card filter both on my turn and when I use Estelle Moon before they trash her. It is also a high priority trash/salsette target which means my BOOM! probably won't get RFG that turn.

Estelle Moon is the asset that makes the dream come alive. She helps you tear through your deck and find the kill combo. She is 2x because I am able to find her easily and I also run Tech Startup. She would be 3x but we have a must have agenda that requires influence.

Jackson Howard is pretty good when you are overdrawing and pitching cards like crazy with Estelle.

Launch Campaign is easy money that I never feel bad rezzing. Triggers my Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center ability, Estelle Moon and Turtlebacks.

PAD Campaign triggers both our primary econ cards (Turtles and Estelle) and is hard to get rid of. Usually, runners trash it last giving you drip econ that helps maintain your Hard-Hitting News threat.

Tech Startup is primarily an additional copy of Estelle but can be whatever you need at the time. Worth noting that you get two triggers for the price of one on Estelle when using this card to install something else.

Turtlebacks is our workhorse econ card. We install to draw and power up Estelle and all the while we get the money we need to rez and maintain our affordable board. Not cheap for the runner to deal with and a huge econ source if they do not.

OPERATIONS

24/7 News Cycle is a card that lets you kill people without firing a trace or spending any additional credits. It is one of the most powerful cards in NBN's toolbox. Usually, when you lose as a 24/7 deck its because you can't find your kill pieces when you have the opportunity. Estelle Moon solves that problem by allowing you to tear through huge chunks of your deck to find the missing pieces.

Archived Memories Sometimes you lose BOOM! and that is bad. Sometimes you have to use two missiles to kill armored runners. AM adds vital consistency to this deck.

BOOM! goes the dynamite and good night goes the runner.

24/7 can take time to set up. You can't have a runner feeling safe just because you don't have a Breaking News scored. We have to make them understand the boom can come at any time and that if they get too excited about trashing assets we can kill them for that too. Hard Hitting News provides that service.

MCA Informant Deals with A-A-RON and Film Critic, who vex this deck quite fiercely. We only stock one because we can find it pretty fast.

Midseason Replacements started as the original kill enabler, but I found that the 24/7 landed more consistently. That doesn't mean you won't put a pile of tags on if the opportunity presents itself. Like HHN, midseason is just another tool we can draw into to leverage the power of Estelle.

Sweeps Week is good money that doesn't depend on keeping assets on the board.

ICE

IP Block is a strong barrier that gets a lot better when people are on AI / Keyhole and things like it that have stronger matchups against kill.

Resistor punishes the runner for giving up on clearing tags.

Archangel gets a shocking number of Aarons off the table in the early game. It is a low cost taxing code gate.

Pop-up Window Helps keep the money balance in my favor while I am building the kill.

Data Raven is a click and econ tax and reckless people sometimes waste their Aaron counters on removing DR tags.

Turnpike is the single best costed tagging ice in the game.

CONCLUSION

This deck has been doing well with above 80 percent win ratios across three different people testing it. Play it if you want to terrorize runners with a new Estelle Moon deck. Remind them that at least you aren't playing prison.

Goodnight Moon

Goodnight BOOM!

Don't make me tell you again about the scooching
