Brain Food

Why Sundew instead of Adonis Campaign?

I love this concept, no doubt. I tried a ST a while back and didn't have much success...so maybe soon it'll be time to re-try. One thing I saw right off the bat...your point about Peak Efficiency. You're right, it's for mid-late game...so therefore, I'd go down to 2 (maybe even just 1) of it. Seeing it too early makes it kinda suck. Maybe -1 PE, +1 Green Level...could even throw in a Restructure if you're willing to go down to 1 PE. I like the rest of it though, and after I see the Mumbad bioroids, perhaps try again with this ID. :)

I love the Sundew tech, that is amazing. May or may not work, but the idea is absolutely great!

What do you think about Enhanced Login Protocol? I think it will work well with Brain-Taping Warehouse.

I played against this on Jnet, and it was a blast. Rezzing things for free with two Brain-Taping Warehouses is no laughing matter, either.

I do agree about lowering the Peak Efficiency to 2 and putting in a different economy card or possibly a Ronald Five for the jank. I saw a Strongbox in the game I played.

@Demolishine: Enhanced actually works against Brain-taping, as BTW give a discount on extra clicks the runner has and ELP takes that away.

Thanks for all the great comments!

@blackcaps sundew is mostly in there for 2 reasons the first is that its a great bait asset (because of rp i suppose), most people won't let you have it for too long. The second reason is if I can manage to get 2 remotes up then I install Brain taping into 1 and the sundew into another. Using sundew as bait with brain taping out is a good way to get mileage out of brain taping. I also suppose that soaking up a click at the beginning of the turn is a added benefit.

@Dothanite In my current build I have been using milenge as the extra econ card so far with so so benefit.

My two biggest problems to date seem to be decks that generate a TON of cash (such as au revior decks/shaper tech writer decks) and siphon control. I am attempting to see how the deck does with crisium grid in it to counter siphon but I still seem to have difficulty closing out games thoughts?

You've got 6 3/2s... maybe Plan B is a way to close out the game? You don't get over-advancement tokens off of it for Project Vitruvius so that isn't great but it does force another run through your punishing servers.

Team Sponsorship might also be a good call. They are must-trash and do real work with 3/X agendas and econ assets, both of which this deck is flush with.

As always, you have to question whether EtF is a better identity choice... Against runners with a lot of cash I think it might be, but you are getting a lot of mileage out of ST with the Brain-Taping Warehouses.

The Mumbad bioroids are going to change a lot with decks like these. A single Jeeves will let you capitalize on turns you want to just install ICE, as well as let you over-advance every Vitruvius you score. Ravana 1.0 will make Hourglass a thing, especially in decks using Heinlein Grid and/or Ryon Knight, plus it is a stupid solid piece of ICE on its own. This archetype is definitely getting some love soon.

You should be on 3 ichi, no questions asked. It's one of the best pieces of ice in the game.

@Four_Leaf I will include a 3rd and try it out....It has been really impactfull in the games I have played it for a couple different reasons.
