Head(Q) Start

Bananifier 380

A word of warning: this is only a deck concept, aimed at casual play (and not even thoroughly tested yet).

The Goal

  • Install all your stuff thanks to Personal Workshop by using 'recurring credits', that is to say Pheromones, Net Celebrity and Au Revoir.

  • you may replace the net celebrities by Datasuckers if you feel like it - I'm not sure which one is best yet (and if there is the memory for it).

A discussion on card choices

  • Box-E and not Desperado : although this may work as well with desperado, I think the 2 MU is a real boon for a deck with that much small programs. Q-Coherence Chip lets you install more utility program for as cheap as possible (and if an Au Revoir gets trashed, it's not exactly the end of the world). Besides, that's all your memory needs filled without spending influence.

  • Silhouette: Stealth Operative: as the deck contains only 2 copies of Personal Workshop (which you pretty much need), Silhouette or Andy are the most likely candidates for this strategy. The fact that Pheromones gives recurring credits in-faction sealed the deal - Silhouette's power will hopefully be triggered a few times in a game.

The Bad

  • There is no card draw - running and drawing will be your default actions during a game with Head(Q) Start.

  • There is a single multi-access card in the whole deck: R&D Interface. Cherish it like your own daughter!

I hope you'll have fun with it!

For extra utility, -1 Net Celebrity and +1 Scrubber. You don't want Jinteki or NBN shells taxing you out of existence. :)
