Yoshizawa v3.5

RichardLocke 91

Handsize=MU=Overmind counters=strength of Sage. This deck can be very aggressive, but you have to know when to sit back and build a bit. Obviously, you want as many counters on Overmind as possible, but don't feel afraid to lay it down before you have the engine rolling. An underpowered Overmind is still good to poke around earlygame. Being Quetzal with an e3 never hurt anyone either. Eventually though, you'll have about half your deck in your hand, a Sage ready to take on most anything, and a ridiculous Overmind picking off anything left alive in Sage's wake. You'll want to get Earthrise out as early as possible to speed yourself along. Multiple Earthrises if at all possible. Problems: Jenteki. Komainu specifically. If you sit down with a Jinteki player, be prepared for that dog. Ideally, find your Faerie. Worst case, throw all your Overmind counters at it and as much cash as needed to survive the facecheck. Then, Parasite. Swordsman is a problem too. Parasite is still the answer.

======================

In light of full spoilers...

--Changes--

*Switched Liberated Accounts for Day Job. It's a 2 credit net loss for less click consumption and burstiness.

*Switched Scavenge for Uninstall. First, this saves influence. Also, if you have Sage out, Scavenging an Overmind is a 1 strength loss. Uninstall, on the other hand is a 1 strength gain. Downside, you'll need to reinstall Overmind for 4 credits and one click more.

*Switched Deus X for Faerie. With the newly saved 4 influence from Scavenge, I was able to switch out for a cheaper, more flexible Komainu answer.

*Added another e3 for obvious reasons. Shored up room by trashing a Deja Vu.

Very solid presentation! I think all the important bases are covered. If you're able to get a nice handsize going, no sort of damage is really going to worry you as you get the rig up. About the only thing that might worry me is Closed Accounts and people playing FA corp decks. Don't suppose Duggar's would be a viable thing here...though I guess the Hotel is here for that purpose. Very cool, me like! :)

@esutter479 The most common way I've seen FA work is to run very low ICE, most of that being EtR. Quetzal just punches through the Barriers, and in the case of Sentry or Code Gate EtR's, I'd just install the first Overmind I find and keep the pressure on. If I can tutor out my Medium, game over.
