Generic Noise

Does a very large amount of milling, with 1x of the Anarch breaker suite with Crypsis.

The idea is to mill significantly, all the while threatening all 3 centrals. The 1x Demolition Run comes into play usually when the corp starts developing a remote. The economy tightens up, and there is usually a weakness in ice that develops in R&D or HQ. Combined with multi access, demolition run eliminates multiple cards. Best used mid-game when the corp has cards they require as part of a combo or things they might just deem valuable (Scorched Earths, a 2nd copy of Jackson Howard, Accelerated Diagonistics, Shipment from Sansan, etc)

The economy feels sufficient, although I never very feel rich with this deck. Cheap installations come from the Sahasraras. These virus' will mill a card. Aesop can then (not necessarily immediately) convert the viruses into credits.

The 1x Same Old Thing doubles as a second Demolition Run or Levy.

Most games have been won via Milling, but I don't feel that's necessarily representative of the versatility of the deck. The natural reaction to aggressive milling has been to thoroughly ice up archives. When the point is reached where its not feasible for me to go after the archives, I often just continue milling, which has caught corps off guard.

Er... Levy doesn't go into your Heap, so SOT can't recur it unless it gets discarded.

I'm also curious why you went for Sahasrara over Cyberfeeders -- more useful for doing program installs, but if most of what you're installing is cheap Viruses, it seems like the Cyberfeeders might help free up some Memory, Influence, and cash for running.

Why Sahasrara over Cyberfeeder?
It's two credits per, instead of 1. This actually makes a pretty significant difference, since Imp, Djinn, and Parasite cost 2 credits. Hemmorrhage, Medium, and Nerve agent cost 3. Since data sucker is the only thing that costs 1, its really the only scenario where Sahasrara doesn't start giving you faster and better returns than Cyberfeeder. However, I will concede that the one advantage is that Cyberfeeder can be used to pump breakers, but to that point I would argue that I'd be better off using a whole different type of deck (not fixed breakers, not so virus mill heavy, probably have knights etc). Sahasrara can pay for other Sahasrara's, which increases the tempo of the deck significantly. This isn't anything new either, I think people have been pairing Sahasrara's with Noise instead of Cyber Feeder for a while.

With Aesops and Wyldside, Lots of clicks are being saved, tempo feels very fast, and viruses get played and tossed by Aesops for cash often. Djinn frees up a ton of memory. I rarely ever actually have memory problems, although I occassionally have to plan around it during play (doing actions in the correct order).

Yes, SOT is for Levy if it gets net damaged. IMO, it's worth it for the deckspace in this particular deck, because of how fast it burns through the deck. Jinteki PE's net damage can potentially mill this deck as much as it mills itself. I prefer having a failsafe. Although, if I was certain that I wouldn't be facing Jintekis, I'm sure I'd find some place to use the influence

Ah, thanks! (Sorry about sounding brusque, there.)

I suppose I tend to try and keep things around more than installing over them/Aesop's-ing them, but it makes sense that you wouldn't want to, with LALA and Clone Chips to pull anything you regret losing right back out, and Djinns to keep the MUs down anyway.

I haven't seen Sahasrara with noise INSTEAD of Cyberfeeder much, but I'm relatively new to the online ANR meta, so it's very possible I just missed it. I find things like Cyberfeeder still useful for the fixed breaker support, but I can see how Sahasrara might be the better choice overall -- thank you for the explanation!
