This is a 100% experimental deck (I haven't even actually built it or tried it yet). The idea is to dig (with Wyldside if necessary) for e3 Feedback Implants as fast as possible. Then you can use Quetzal's own ability to break Barriers, Cerberus "Cuj.0" H3 to break Sentries, and Overmind to break Code Gates (or anything else, in a pinch). Parasite and the silverware cards allow you to blow up ICE that you don't want to deal with again, and Clone Chip and Déjà Vu help you bounce those important cards back after they've run out of steam.

The memory cards in this deck are MemStrips and Deep Red. Even though they can only be used for certain types of programs, they provide a TON of open memory, which means lots of power counters for Overmind.

Economy cards are pretty limited. Sure Gamble, Kati Jones, and Dirty Laundry are it. However, I think this deck doesn't need a super robust economy to operate. Most of its stuff is pretty cheap.

Your missing econ 3x sure gamble is not going to cut it.

I can't argue with ya on that. It was just rough trying to find things I could take out for it. I think this version might be a bit better. I included Kati Jones even though I was trying to go with a resourceless build so I can ignore tags, but I think it's probably not worth it in this case.

For tag me you could use some hardware like Cyberfeeder to help with econ also Liberated Account is fine for been tagged as you can wipe most of the counters straight off, Day Job's also good for getting the econ back up.

I think you'll find you need more econ than you think Overmind is expensive especially when you saving counters with e3's.

If you're going tagme you will need at least one or two Plascrete Carapaces. I've Had Worse ain't enough. And you don't have good reason to be going tagme. I think Kati Jones was a good addition instead to boost the economy.

Looking at the version you posted on BGG, I would say drop Wyldside. You don't need that much draw for this deck. Also personally I think Forked isn't that useful for Anarch cause Parasite are generally good enough against Sentries. Forked may not be necessary.

Your breakers are expensive. So Dirty Laundry doesn't help you much cause it's only 3 and you need a successful run. You're better off with Daily Casts or Day Job. @Pinkwarrior, I'm not sure this deck will float sufficient credits to play Liberated Account.

Just a mention that Trade-In on a spare e3 Feedback Implants is 2 and 2 to tutor the hardware you want to your Grip, which is really expensive. I would think you can afford to drop Trade-In and spend the influence on something else like Scavenge or Planned Assault.

Trade-In is actually for getting the e3 Feedback Implants. I've never used them before, so maybe I'm overestimating their importance, but I've been thinking of them as the "key" to making this deck work.

What do you plan to Trade-In for e3 Feedback Implants?

2 Mar 2015 Saibrock

Whatever I have to spare. Prepaid VoicePAD seems like the most ideal candidate, though I could toss a MemStrips if need be.

I guess you can leave it in and play with the deck a few times to see whether Trade-In is necessary or not.
