Lat Dig Repeat

I went and tried to make the Gravedigger deck a bit better. Following the ideas that were spoken on Metropole Grid stream (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxT9SbWaApQ).

But first the mulligan plan and second, the aim of the deck. After, if you want, you can read about how I made the deck a bit better.

Mulligan plan : you want credits. So you would want to start with at least one cards that can give you credits.

Aim of the deck : milling the corp as long as you can, possibly decking the corp. Otherwise, when you can no longer wait, you run Archives, with a Mad Dash, to score out in one run.

What is better than https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/68524/truly-non-interactive-shaper-an-hommage-to-klokotze :

Before the tech card, Lat: Ethical Freelancer will gain you around 7 free draw in the game, maybe more. This lower the effective deck size to find your pieces to lower than 40 cards.

  1. Flame-out will make sure you have a big pile of credits to make that last run with Mayfly.
  2. Labor Rights get back your Contaminate faster than Harmony AR Therapy.
  3. Councilman will allow you to run against an Anoetic Void once. Or prevent the corp from gaining tempo by derezzing an Rashida Jaheem.
  4. The second Mayfly will allow you to make one more run. Sometime, you do not have The Price of Freedom or The Black File to slow the corp and you need to run that server to steal the winning agenda. You will then be still able to run archive after.
  5. Self-modifying Code ensure you get Gravedigger as fast as if you had a third one.

I also tried with Ayla "Bios" Rahim: Simulant Specialist and it was decent. But any of the "NVRAM cards" take 2 to use, which goes against the clicks compression needed.

It is a fun archetype to use. With this deck, you set the pace of the game, not the corp, which gives a very different feels for the game.

Cheers!

How about cookbook & simul chips…. install, mill, repeat

@Ozvaldo that is a neat idea! I might try something like that. Thanks for sharing.

How about one Dummy box for Above the Law and Keegan Lane

@ccxkrish1921 with almost no runs, Keegan Lane is rarely an issue. Above the Law can win by taking out The Black File. But Dummy Box is a good idea and it could be put in instead of a Councilman or instead of Harmony AR Therapy.

@Ozvaldo I tried the Cookbook + Simulchip. It is not worth it, since it is a lot of setup for only 1 virus token. It was a neat idea and I'm glad I tried it. Thanks for the idea.
