TL;DR can be moved wherever it's most painful using the ID ability. Duplicate Negotiators, Janus, or a Swarm that you've advanced 3 or 4 times and the runner's going to have a bad time. Throw Old Hollywood Grid in your scoring remote whenever you've got some spare time, and send that remote Off the Grid when it's time to start scoring.

TL;DR - protect only 2 servers, force a runner to run three clicks in a single turn to steal agendas, and try to make the runner eat 8 brain damage in a single run.

Interesting use of TL;DR. A few questions:

  • Why quandary? One of the benefits of blue sun is that the ice is vulnerable to parasite, so why enigma to avoid instant death to parasite.

  • If you swapped Janus for an Orion (same price, 1 less sub), you have the influence for a Global Food Initiative over one of the 5/3's and the 3rd jackson. You could also go GFI and Vanity project to swap corporate war for hostile (easier 7th point). Any thoughts there?

  • Is the corporate war better than an atlas or oaktown here?

@sruman yeah Enigma would probably be a better choice than Quandary and I'll make that change for the future.

I prefer Janus to Orion for the hurt, and Orion's breakable with whatever they have out. It's an interesting point about putting in a Hostile for the 7th point but Hostiles usually hide from me too successfully anyhow. It's something that should be tested though, along with Corporate War's inclusion.

Is the corporate war better than an atlas or oaktown here?

Probably not better than Oaktown, and likely not better than Atlas. I like rolling around in big piles of cash though so it'll stay either Corporate War or Oaktown for me for a while.

You sure you don't like Orion in this deck? If you use both resolve a subroutine subroutines on TL;DR you can get a 12 subroutine Janus.

TL;DR is a 4 strength code gate with a single subroutine - Lotus Field also serves as the same tax, with the advantage of being a stronger gear check. Why not run any other 4 strength code gate? Do you find that runners are face checking these, letting them fire, and then actually continuing afterwards?

Old Hollywood Grid seems antisynergistic with Off the Grid. Off the Grid makes it so the runner has to make an extra run on HQ, while Old Hollywood requires an extra run on the remote. Old Hollywood doesn't do anything if your remote doesn't have heavy ice, and you say you're only icing two servers (R&D and HQ?) so this doesn't seem like the best fit. Sure, it requires an extra click from the runner but so would Crisium Grid and that's in faction and puts all the pressure on HQ. Plus if you do that you can make your agenda suite better since you don't need all singletons.

20 ice when you intend to only protect two servers seems a little high. Cutting a few would open up slots for Crisium. Maybe add Fast Track so you can take advantage of when you think there's a scoring window?

@ItJustGotRielle I'm mainly hoping that the runner will take the chance continuing when the next ice they hit could just be a typical Weyland end the run or it could be something terrible.

@Corence truthfully this deck doesn't just defend HQ and R&D, and Off the Grid is there to waste their resources running HQ and then Old Hollywood makes them go through the remote twice, but you're probably right that Crisium would work better.
