The Well-o-Yellow Wombo-Combo

The Wombos of Wombodom Combo III (http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/32916/the-wombos-of-wombodon-combo-iii-american-wombo) is a masterful deck. Winning by scoring the full 7 points in one turn? Superb.

Wait. What do you mean, it takes 3 agendas? And a ridiculous 42?

Rubbish. Let's do it with one agenda, and a mere 37. That's much more achievable. Not to mention which, NBN has all the great ICE for generating that money more quickly!

There's one small issue: don't do this in Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center. There's installing going on, and doing that when we are carefully setting up 3-card R&Ds won't work. Unfortunately, we need 16 influence - 15 isn't enough. Fortunately, there's an answer to that at the end of the cycle! This is actually a Harishchandra Ent.: Where You're the Star deck, but as decks with unreleased cards can't be published, you get it masquerading as NEH.

You know the basics: make sure you start a turn with Mumbad Construction Co. installed (don't worry, the rez cost is included in the 37 above) and one Jackson Howard. You'll need to have in hand all three Accelerated Diagnostics and the Power Shutdown. You also need to NOT have the following in hand - doesn't matter if they're in R&D or Archives; the two are about to get very cosily close together anyway. (Oh yeah, they also need to not be removed from the game. All those Archives Interface players are going to be looking very smug here). The Do-Not-Hold list contains:

• Interns
• Subliminal Messaging
• Casting Call
• Archived Memories
• Either Dedication Ceremony

Oh, and you need to have not had all three Project Beales stolen. Losing two is fine. That other combo deck didn't clarify all these conditionals, did it? Clearly leaving you to fall into them yourselves. These yellow decks are much nicer; we don't leave room for mistakes.

And yes, if your opponent has a way to insta-install a Clot you need a Cyberdex Virus Suite ready installed and an additional 3. Although if you are already holding a Project Beale, that'll let you get around the need to have the CVS ready installed. And if don't need that either, you can cut the credit cost for the combo by 5! See? Yellow provides you options too.

Anyway, combo details are fairly predictable: start with 3 and 37, and double-check that the runner did make a run last turn.

• In 1.1, rez Mumbad Construction Co. (4, leaving you with 33). It gets a counter in 1.2.
• 1: Power Shutdown. Bye R&D! (2 and 32 remaining)
• Rez and Fire Jackson Howard. He's being replaced by a fresh R&D consisting of Interns, Subliminal Messaging and Dedication Ceremony
• 2: Accelerated Diagnostics (31) for
  • Interns install Jackson Howard. These kids grow up so fast!
  • Subliminal Messaging generates a click and a credit! Lovely.
  • Dedication Ceremony spends that credit to put 3 advancement counters on Mumbad Construction Co., setting it with 4.
• At this point, we have 2 and 31 remaining.
• Rez and Fire Jackson Howard. Again. Anything worth doing is worth doing twice...no, wait, that's a different card. Anyway, he's being replaced by another fresh R&D consisting of Interns and both Dedication Ceremonys.
• 3: Accelerated Diagnostics (30) for
  • Interns install Jackson Howard. I assume this is some sort of "bring your children to work day", because they sure take after their predecessors. Hey, maybe that's why Jackson is being fired when he's removed from the game - he's failing to obey hiring standards and just continually giving jobs to his relatives.
  • Dedication Ceremony twice to put 6 more advancement counters on Mumbad Construction Co., setting it with 10! They grow up so fast. And by "they", I mean buildings.
• At this point, we have 1 and 28 remaining.
• Rez and Fire Jackson Howard. Again. Anyone getting Deja Vu?...no, wait, that's a different card. Again. Anyway, he's being replaced by another fresh R&D consisting of Dedication Ceremony, Casting Call and one of Archived Memories (if you don't have a Project Beale in hand), Interns (if you do, but need a Cyberdex Virus Suite) or Restructure (if you don't need either of the above, but want some more credits).
• 4: Accelerated Diagnostics (27) for
  • Dedication Ceremony to put a final 3 advancement counters on Mumbad Construction Co., resulting in 13. Maybe after four ceremonies, this construction company has been...dedicated enough?
  • Archived Memories for the Project Beale if necessary. Otherwise Interns to install a Cyberdex Virus Suite or play a Restructure to get 5, in which case you didn't need as much money to start with.
  • Casting Call to install the Project Beale face-up.
• At this point, we have 0 and 26 remaining.

And boom! 13 uses of Mumbad Construction Co. to transfer all 13 agenda counters to the Project Beale, and score for 7. Lovely.
