With 29 cards you can install in remotes, why not use Diversified Portfolio over Sweeps Week?

This is similar to my deck featuring Turtlepads, with some more traps chucked in (not a bad call at all, I have to say): netrunnerdb.com

@PaxCecilia I think Diversified Portfolio is... interesting. I've tried to use it in horizontal decks and almost always come up with the problem that when it'll get me a load of money I don't want to play it because I'm already winning, or that I'm in a hole because I've got no assets and I'd rather be drawing something else.

No doubt it could get you a LOT of money, though, I played a game over lunch and had 9 (or more) remotes? That's a big chunk of money!

@unitled Yes it's a copy of your deck with some mods (sorry I should change the name and credit it to you etc, I just published it to show a friend the list).

Added Snare! to discourage checking remotes, helps to bluff out agendas either naked or through sansan.

Closed Accounts is there for tag floaters. I feel like having no tag punishment is too good for a runner.

Reversed Accounts for scoring windows.

I like your latest changes, especially Will-o'-the-Wisp and early ETR ice. Pop-up Window doesn't feel like it's doing much, am usually pretty rich most of the game.

And @PaxCecilia I'm on the same page as @unitled in regards to Diversified Portfolio. A win more card.

Fair enough, the deck already has a ton of drip economy. You also don't really have a great target to dump a ton of money into aside from ICE, which requires you to have it out and the runner to be running on it!

Diversified could be more viable if you had a money dump like Midseason Replacements.

@PaxCecilia That's actually what I've found, you typically don't even float that much money. There's probably a Midseason deck in here somewhere, that would move it towards a version of NEARPADS maybe? I also like the sound of that out of Haarpsichord studio ID...

@mifurey Yeah, the pop up isn't doing much work for me it has to be said. I'm leaning more towards Quandry these days anyway, as it sucks up Spooned if you get hit with that and also acts as early ETR to rush the first score. Possibly Rainbow would work too, especially if you get a Will o the Wisp early. I'm not sure the best way to use that card, actually, I think it's possibly baiting runs into a scoring server (installing with a SanSan at the same time?). Maybe installing over the SanSan to help protect it.

Are the Snare!s working out well for you? I ran a version of my deck with Snare! and Psychic Field (and Neural EMP) which was interesting.
