Money for Memory, Memory to Remember 1.2

OneFabric 98

EDIT 1.2: Put in 2 x Hostage and removed 3x Day Job. Reduced 1 Feedback Filter and put in 3 x Diesel.

EDIT 1.1: Replaced the NetChips with Akamatsu Mem Chip, and Snowball, Gordian Blade with Sage. I got the idea for using #Sage from @ChaoticBrink

This deck focuses on the combination between Ekomind and Theophilius Bagbiter.

The idea is to use Theophilius Bagbiter to have a large hand size, and to then use Ekomind to have a large memory. Overmind will then work quite well ( the other breakers are just in case they're needed ).

For this deck to work, I would need a constant flow of money and cards. I would also need backups.

Therefore, Professional Contacts seemed like an obvious choice. Borrowed Satellite is in case I am running low on hand size; I am not sure though, if it gets voided in favor of the ruling on Theophilius Bagbiter, or the extra hand size will still be in effect.

The biggest problem I can see is running low on credits when I make runs, leading me to lose hand size, and then memory, leading me to trash programs. I am not sure how to solve this yet, but I feel the NetChips should help in this regard.

The multiple Levy AR Lab Access cards are to keep the deck in play.

Just so you know, Levy is a bit of a nonbo with Ekomind. Unless you have Akamatsus installed, playing Levy drops your max MU to 0 (albeit briefly), which trashes your entire rig. Even with both Akamatsus installed, you'll need to trash programs down to 2 MU.

@dogstew, Thanks! Yes, I realized that...I'll have to be careful with it.

Interesting ideas with Ekomind, Theophilius Bagbiter, Game Day and Sage.

Some comments:

I dislike having both Professional Contacts and Magnum Opus, since they both require clicks. So pick one of them. I would drop Magnum Opus and go for Data Folding. This also gives Sage and Overmind a little more potential. Maybe 1x e3 Feedback Implants? Not sure what to drop, though.

Having Levy AR Lab Access seems a bad combo idd. And having 3 of them seems like a total overkill. I'm not sure I like Modded either, since you have so few programs/hardware that cost 3 or more. And you want to install new Overminds with Scavenge anyway. Instead I would just go with Sure Gamble.

Borrowed Satellite also gives +1 link. So you could go the link-route and include cards like Underworld Contact. Maybe go with Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker instead?

If you want to stay with #Modded, you may want to use CyberSolutions Mem Chip instead of Akamatsu Mem Chip.

Thanks @RvdH83. Thank you for the detailed feedback. I will take these into account next time I revise the deck, which may not be for a while.

Thanks again!
