Eko the Overmind [Blown]

PirateWalrus 7

I'm not so sure about this, but here goes.

A CT deck with more than 40 cards?! Am I crazy?

Well given one of the key objectives is to maximize draw, I am not convinced that it breaks the deck. The extra MU still synergises. The key idea is the same as the first eko the overmind deck, with the following revisions:

  • Introducing creeper* to counter swordsman. Not mega efficient, but cheap to install and doesn't take extra MU because....
  • there's more link in this deck than before. Along with the borrowed satellites there's a couple of rabbit holes, which add to the (cheap) hardware count.
  • Economy is aimed at drip. Can't be wasting all that time you're meant to be drawing clicking for money right? Also I reasoned you don't want to use cards like sure gamble because they decrease the grip size. The extra link sources are there to get to 2 link, but you still need credits to set up a drip economy, so I've kept a couple of lucky finds and added dirty laundry (giving you a chance to run and make money at the same time).
  • I am missing three cards though. From the text spoilers of order and chaos, this deck needs data folding to maximize the drip, because this deck doesn't do things by halves.

*EDIT - mimic is a better choice. I did not realise how much Creeper cost to install! Consider that a derp on my part.

I see this deck as being a silly experiment that might occasionally be fun and effective. I can imagine creating a most impressive rig & overmind / sage setup, during which the corp finishes scoring their final agenda. Can it win the game? Maybe? Does it want to? Who knows.

Kind of cool idea to get Underworld Contacts in there, but I don't think it'll be that good here. You'll want to start with link to make it work well.

If I was going to do Ekomind/Overmind/Sage with Borrowed Satellite/Underworld Contact I would use "Mac" or Exile. Most likely it would be Exile. I would use 3x Clone Chip, 3x Scavenge and 2x Test Run to get my stuff going. To pay for my hardware installs I would use 3x Personal Workshop. I wouldn't mind placing some big program there as well (Femme Fatale) to get some sweet credits to use for Scavenge later on. This would probably also require 3x LLDS Processor to synnergise with reinstallations of the breakers. For that extra link, consider Dyson Mem Chip instead of the Akamatsu ones. I might try to whip something up later today. If I do I'll show you :)
