I'd dump a something for whichever shard that you like best. Utopia is great as secondary flatline protection, Eden turns off most Accelerated Diagnostics combo decks.

Do mind not being able to break sentries in remotes? I guess you'd just use Blackmail so they can't rez eh?

Why a shard? If I'm worried about flatline probably put in plascrete. Yeah that or run centrals and quest complete. Maybe add crypsis if corp runs sentry heavy.

Mostly because you have 1 influence left and all of the shards are one influence. They're also very potent in their respective ways. Hades doesn't really have any use in this deck aside from screwing Jackson Howard. Eden is pretty niche as well but with HQ Interface and no R&D multiaccess it can give you more to look at on an HQ access.

Utopia is really the most versatile. First, it's great flatline protection against any Scorched Earth or Neural EMP plays. Once they play the first part of their kill condition (SEA Source/Midseason or the first Neural EMP of many) you can use the trash abilty to randomly discard cards. If they've got a big HQ it might not work, but it has other uses. You can use it as a way to ensure seeing all of the cards in HQ on accesses.

One of my favourite uses is to pop it after the corporation has been greedily digging with Jackson Howard for more than 1 turn in a row. It's likely they've discarded a few agendas and also grabbed whatever it is they're looking for, so you can dump 2 cards randomly then run archives. If they were agendas, they might have put themselves in a situation where they can't shuffle them all back in anymore.

Good points however I'm worried that it might slow down the pace I think this deck needs to set. I mean it's 8 to install or a run with no accessing right? What has your experience been?
