Control of Space

Have you considered Red Herrings over predictive algorithm? It's trashable to be sure, but takes on an additional 3 credits over PA and you can install multiple in a server. Ash + red herrings x 2 is just not fun for the runner.

Interesting. Is Predictive Algorithm doing enough in this deck? I can see it being fun with NAPD, but is that enough? It's costing you 3x1 influence, which could be spent elsewhere. Next up - why Glenn Station? It don't see this doing much either.

The rest of the deck i like - would probably cut a Guard or two, but it looks solid.

This is based off a deck I went up against yesterday. Predictive Algorithm was a beast in that deck and the few games I've played with this one it has done a lot of work. They swapped the Tollbooth and Crisium for Negotiator and Red Herrings. It is a tough call to make between the two sets. Negotiator is a second porous ice that can get you more money, Red Herrings is really nice and strong in this deck, but it only forces the runner to pay once (it's true that sometimes that's all you need), whereas the Tollbooths force the runner to pay every time they encounter it.

Glenn Station is slow and the main part I want to change I'm considering -2 Glenn, +1 Utopia.

Possible changes to the deck (after more testing so this is just theory right now)

-2 Glenn -1 Tollbooth -1 Jackson -1 Reversed Accounts

+1 Utopia Fragment +2 Red Herrings +2 Restructure

This reduces the agenda density by 1 (always good), and puts the Red Herring back into the deck.

Thoughts?

What does a typical "taxing server" look like in this deck? I feel like your ice is REALLY binary, with the exception of Tollbooth.

Agreed that binary ice is usually not as taxing as non-etr but given the prevalence of corroder, I think that Firewall can be taxing at 4 credits for 5 rez cost (although has the an issue with D4v1d and Quetzal obviously). Not hard to play around enigma but runner's don't always want to run on last click so 2-for-3 tax on enigma is good ratio. Plus, outside of viper and eli, cadeucus is one of my favourite taxing ice, 2-break-for-3 cost for any killer outside of Switchblade and just a good feeling if they face check without the killer ( (often)free ice yeah!).

In the taxing vien though, I would diminish or lessen Guard. In my observations, bypass has become less and less a thing with many criminal decks dropping inside job for other cards. And at 4-cost for a 1-cost mimic break it's definitely not taxing. I'd say another cadecus and 2 errand boys if you want to push the tax angle (still have plenty of etr ice even after than change).

Predictive Algorithm is poop soup. Could maybe find a place in an NBN deck some day, but it's definitely not worth influence to play out of faction. The most it will ever do is make the runner spend 2 credits, and then they'll steal an agenda, which gets rid of Algorithm. So you're spending 3 card slots and 3 influence, plus clicks to play them and draw them, to make the runner lose a max of 6 credits in one game, but if that unimpressive feat ever happens then that means they've stolen 3 agendas and probably win. NAPD by itself is already good enough. Don't spend resources making good cards slightly more annoying.
