Merry Janksmas netrunners!

On Saturday December 13th at 11AM there will be a Charity Netrunner tournament at Redcap's Corner, organised by Mutually Assured Construction!

What on earth is Janksmas?

Janksmas is a charity tournament format aimed at raising money to help fight houselessness and food insecurity. Inspired by Janksgiving ,started in NYC by shiiuga in 2019.

How does it work?

What do Netrunner players love doing more than anything else? That’s right! Rage quitting on JNet. Playing bad jank. Well, boy do I have the format for you!

After you register for the event, you will contact the SkoolKnight4 (the TO) on the Neo Philly discord to receive your first set of Jank rolls using the handy dandy Janksgiver (very kindly made by @solemn_storm) which can be found here: https://jankgiver.solemn.website/. You will then choose one full set of those rolls for each side, Corp & Runner, and build decks with them using the deckbuilding rules below. Then, you bring your decks to the tournament and face off against everyone else’s jank until we crown the ultimate jank champion (jankion?), all while raising some money for a good cause.

Where: Redcap's Corner

When: Please arrive by 11AM EST

Format: Standard (with a twist) 3+ Rounds Double Sided Swiss, 90 min rounds.

Donation/Buy In: Entry will be a minimum donation of $15, with no maximum donation. Go with your heart, but don’t go broke. The first $5 will contribute to a store credit prize pool (paid to top players, the second $5 will go the MAC Event Organizing Fund (to facilitate future events), and all other donated funds will go to the approved charity of the winner's choice.

Everyone who donates will receive a playset of MAC Reaper Function Promos as a door prize. The winner will get to take home the coveted Janksmas trophy that I’ve definitely already purchased and am not leaving until the last minute. Most importantly will get to choose the charity that will receive the balance of the group donation. There will be other prizes in the form of Promos, Tokens, etc.

Mulligan Rules

If you really don’t like any of your initial rolls on one side, you can take one free mulligan. You may only do this for ONE SIDE, and you must use your Mulliganed roll, even if you think it’s worse than the first 3. Sometimes the jank gods are not smiling on us. There are currently no other known reasons to get a mulligan, but weird stuff happens all the time, so if you think you deserve one, ping me and I’ll take a look. To activate a reroll, the TO in the Neo Philly Netrunner Discord and tell me which side you are choosing to reroll. I will do the roll for you on the bot.

Deckbuilding Rules

Deckbuilding rules are as follows: You must use 1 whole set of rolls from the 3 Janksgiver gives you for each side. You may not take the ID from one of the three rolls and use the cards from another, for example. Your deck must include 3 copies of every card included in the roll you choose for each side. Cards in your jank rolls are all out of faction for the rolled ID and DO NOT count towards your influence limit. EVERY ID regardless of side or faction has an influence value of 6 IN PLACE of its printed influence value. Remember, your rolled cards don’t cost influence. This influence is to spend on cards to tie your rolls together into a combo. All corps, regardless of faction, get a full set of 3 Spin Doctors with no additional influence cost. Spend your influence on something fun. All other Standard Format deckbuilding rules apply. Standard card pool and ban list is in effect. Every ID uses its printed minimum deck size and Corp decks must maintain a standard agenda density for their size.

Jankgiver note: Rolls will be made using Standard Only. We are not using rotated cards at this event.
