Plutus PD my beloved

This is the deck I jammed a ton last few weeks (before it was cool), not because it's Good, but because it's really, really fun and can actually overwhelm runners from time to time. Being able to generate a silly amount of clicks with combinations of RLC with Plutus, HR, Otto, WW and Flop just makes you feel like you're constantly zooming ahead and managed to make me enjoy a game at the tournament.

Greasing helps out a lot playing against Seb too and Lamplighter is a very, very underrated card for these sort of decks.
N-Pog is surprisingly effective and definitely an upgrade compared to Scatter Field, which ended up feeling really damn bad to me. 3rd Drafter can also feel one too many at times, so I would consider slotting a copy of Whitespace instead, as people keep disrespecting facechecks, if only Seb wasn't this much of a menace.

this looks fun, i want to play with it :)

how important is "the powers that be" here? it looks to me like the most obvious flex slot since you are already PD.

since there's no seamless (wild!) i'm not sure what you are usually using the PD ability for

what about Petty Cash, since its another thing that lets you score with plutus, or score after a turn where both you and runner blow all your credits, or after Transfer of Wealth lands which is how some crims will try to slow down PD.

@Satoshi despite being PD, Powers is still a key card because we're playing like a pseudo Asa deck and want to present as many treats as we can to the Runner, letting us reinstall ice trashed to Crew, Ottos that fired (and gave us the score that turn), threatening assets like Plutus or WW or just zooming ahead jamming cards or agendas from hand if we see a window.

There's two main reasons why we're playing PD:

  • we want a small and consistent deck to make it easier to get going early
  • we can get Flop or Biotic back to hand to get tons of value

Petty Cash is a card I'd like to have, but slots are incredibly tight here. There's multiple cards I would like to have here, but I don't wanna bloat the deck too much. It's possible that additions, going to 49, simply make the deck better, but I'm not sure PC is on the top of the list anyway.

Have fun playing and tweaking the list! ^^

Just wow! "Pseudo ASA deck" without Scatter Field ?

@Krasty my hot take is that it's just not that great of a card in practice as long as Bankhar runs rampant and you need to double ice against multiple Runners. The free install also ends up baiting you into either making bad plays or not mattering at all most times
