The Mundane Goddess v0.1

This is a brutal horizontal Gagarin Deep Space: Expanding the Horizon deck. Build remotes. Then, build more remotes. Eventually your opponent will be overwhelmed, your economy will explode, and the infinite supply of Tour Guides will keep your servers safe and secure. Elizabeth Mills is the star of the show: she can remove the BP off Hostile Takeover, blow up Noise's economy, and she scored you point using Public Support.

Usually you only need to score one of the 2pt agendas. The rest of your points will come from Hostile Takeover and Public Support. Don't worry about slapping Project Atlas on the table, players will usually ignore it. Also, you can let NAPD Contract chill for a while; once they go down to zero credits, advance it and score it the following turn.

All credit goes to anathomical. He provided the initial list, I tuned it a bit for my playstyle.

Can't wait until Jeeves comes out! Once that happens I'll find another Haas-Bioroid card to add, then add two or three copies of Jeeves.

Haaa, this looks like tons of fun. I'd never given Tour Guide a second glance til now.

This pile has a whole bunch of weirdness. 3x Executive Boot Camp, the Corporate Town, I had to dig the Tech Startups from my "discards" box because I never expected to use it (but it's great here, it's often Turtlebacks 4-5).

I love this archetype. My only concern is the low ice count without the extra draw in NEH to help you get more ice. How does it fair against siphon and apocalypse decks?

How do you take advantage of your big economy? If the runner ignores all your econ assets and only trashes Public Supports you don't seem like you have many options to score. In my Gagarin deck I included Ash to try to deal with this, but still had trouble against Desperado decks that would just check every remote I put down so I couldn't sneak out anything. Imp and Parasite also are pretty hard to deal with (poor Tour Guide), and Anarch is pretty popular right now.

Also, why Cyberdex Trial over CVS?

Looks fun! Apocalypse will make you sad though.

I don't know if this is TOO much economy, but i feel that paywall implementation would add that second layer of hurt when the runner wants to check some facedowns. I think this could help you score some naked agendas more easily. Also as @Corence said, CVS seems like the better choice because of team sponsorship and turtlebacks, and it might help you with scoring hostiles out of hand.

Account Siphon: Tour Guide goes on HQ if I suspect AS, just to make their lives slightly more difficult. You have a lot of economy, so losing five is not a big deal, and their windfall goes away really quickly (especially if they're trashing your stuff).

Apocalypse: I am guessing that will be a problem. I don't have any experience with Apocalypse decks (well, I do have experience PLAYING it, not being the target of it).

If AS + Apoc become a problem, I think that adding Crisium Grid might be necessary. You could recycle it a lot, so it should slow them down significantly.

@Corence if they only trash the Public Support then you have a lot of assets rezzed which means Tour Guide is ridiculous and you can score behind it. Imp is less of an issue since they still need to pay a click and a credit to access. Parasite is all about timing; Blacklist helps a lot here. The bottom line is that you have more recursion than them, especially when you consider Blacklist. With that said, more Blacklists might be in order.

The Cyberdex Trial is a typo. It should be Cyberdex Virus Suite.

Regarding Paywall Implementation, I thought about it but it's really unnecessary. This deck stashes a lot of credits, more are just not needed. Also, Paywall Implementation is not an asset, so it doesn't play with EBC, Startup, TS, and Turtles.

May I suggest Encryption Protocol? 1 influence and seems hilariously synergistic.

Just making sure, but your Team Sponsorship recursion is entirely off the Hostile Takeovers and singleton 2-pointer?

Contract Killer is really good with this sort of deck - I run a singleton in my Turtlebacks/Team Sponsorship Gagarin deck and if they leave a Tech Startup on the field you can tutor for it, install (gaining Turtlebacks money) and be able to rez and trash it in one turn. Fantastic for killing Kati, Aesops, etc.

That's a really interesting idea. I'll try to squeeze it in. Thanks!

@Rek also off Project Atlas and NAPDs.

Saw this deck in action a week ago at my store by the master himself, very impressive deck indeed. I found myself laughing at what was happening to me and being unable to stop it even with desperado early on. I trashed the same public support 3 times 12 creds well spent!
