Have you ever playtested this deck? You can cut.. like.. half of this deck.

I like the idea of trying Sage in other factions. I think the Dyson Fractal Generator should be swapped for Cyberfeeder this way it'll be able to be used with more.

I also feel you need some multi-access cards like Medium / Nerve Agent as running could be expensive.

Yeah, I threw this together the night before a tournament; it was also the day I received the big box. Got a lot of chances to test it during said tournament.

Against the FA meta, playing Sage early was actually quite a powerful move. E3 doesn't make much sense since it's all single-sub ice. Likewise, it was the same against Celestial ice (except for Orion, but paying 6 to get through it isn't really worse compared to a standard breaker).

Overmind as a stand-in (since I'm running MU anyway) sounded good on paper, but Sage is better, and using Overmind as my Killer turned out to be a bad move since Swordsman is back in the meta with Eater on the loose. I probably want to switch to a Mimic/Datasucker rig, which still synergizes very well.

I will definitely cut the Underworlds and Dysons because I probably only ever got one at a time on the board at the cost of a ton of tempo; I really wanted to abuse the ID link, but it's probably a trap.
In exchange, I can probably pull in PPVP and I've Had Worse, speeding up the deck a lot.

RE: Cyberfeeder: Makes a lot of sense, since I have Inside Man subsidizing, and especially since I'm considering Datasuckers now. I might still keep the FractalGens, though, because Sage can get pretty expensive. It's also more Replicator targets.

I also completely forgot about Data Folding, which would work with the Memstrips.

Medium/Nerve Agent might be useful if the meta goes back to glacier, but with all the low-sub ice, it doesn't cost too much to get in.
