Having retooled this deck a dozen times, I'm parking it for a while to try something else.

But still, I stand by the basic idea - play strong bioroid ICE, then make it difficult for the Runner to click through it.

Some notes:

  • I found a copy of Opening Moves! Eat it, people who aren't me adding Jackson Howard to every Corp deck!
  • Enhanced Login Protocol is a core part of the deck strategy. I wish I had better ways of getting it into my hand. Same with Oversight AI.
  • Still not sure if Heinlein Grid works here. But it has to be more effective than Awakening Center, which I was playing earlier.
  • I tried this with The Foundry: Refining the Process and it was good for getting ICE into HQ, but not for actually playing it afterwards, That one credit a turn makes a big difference.
  • I still can't make the economy work.

Bioroid Efficiency Research might help a little with the econ - essentially more Oversight AI but you derez after a failure instead of trashing. Costs 3 cred instead of 1, but it's in faction. Eli is on the MWL, so you may want some influence back.

I would think another Priority Requisition would be better than Eden Fragment, given that ETF is going to pretty much pay for your ICE installs already - it's the rezzing of these 2.0 giants that you can't afford.

You could probably afford to ditch a couple of the ICE in exchange for some econ help. My vote would be ditch Ichi 2.0 and just rely on Ichi 1.0 as your "I can actually afford to rez this" Sentry and Janus as your "rez this for free"
