Deep Space Confusion - Needs Feedback

Alturis 8

So this is my first try at creating a full deck. The basic idea here is to capitalize on the base power of Gagarin to keep the runners poor and continually create new servers they will need to check. I've added ice that is porous but taxing and a few cards that should help me score out overall.

I think the main weakness I've created here is against R+D Rush decks although my intent would still be to place a Red Herrings on the server to assist and I've included NAPD to again tax.

Let me know what you think. The more improvement the better and if this is just unfeasible that's alright as well.

To assist in card suggestions I'm still missing the following packs (Mala Tempora, Trace Amount, Humanity's Shadow, A Study in Static, Second Thoughts, All That Remains, and The Source)

Hey, congrats on your list. I have tried to make Gagarin Deep Space: Expanding the Horizon work and haven't come up with something I really like yet. The card you are really, really going to want is Ash 2X3ZB9CY. Red Herrings is good, but Ash 2X3ZB9CY is better. Cut the Tollbooth for Ash 2X3ZB9CY.

You aren't playing Scorched Earth, so you don't need Shattered Remains. That opens two slots. There's nothing wrong with Hedge Fund.

I don't think you have enough synergy for Dedicated Response Team. That is a great card, but it needs to be in a deck with Data Raven, Snare!, and other such terrible hijinks (I am looking at you Midseason Replacements). So let's use those two slots to include some ice to replace those Tollbooths. I would go with Wormhole. You already have advanceable ice. It is big and nasty. And--my favorite--it works great with a rezzed Architect or Archer.

I love Housekeeping. Great card. I am unsure about Diversified Portfolio. I would probably go old fashioned and play Beanstalk Royalties. But this is a risk/reward kind of call.

Good luck!

Thanks for the help!

I did go ahead and make some changes. -2 Tollbooth -2 red herrings, -2 shattered remains, +3 Ash 2X3ZB9CY, +1 Architect, +2 Wormhole, -3 diversified portfolio, +3 Beanstalk Royalties
