Librarians do it quietly v0.3

Based on the previous version of this deck, obviously. Wholesale changes abound based partially on a couple of games and partially on the solid advice of my pal Martin! of the Ice Analyzer podcast. The idea is still to install Overmind on a London Library using an Autoscripter to use no clicks, then run as needed and take it off again.

Overmind is an absolute star in this deck. With the potential for 8 tokens (or 14 if you install 2) you can walk through anything bar a Swordsman, which you can Femme easily enough. It's the one situation I'd consider a perma-Femme for.

Autoscripter, Replicator and LLDS Processor get a stand out mention too, though.An early Replicator combined with Hayley's ability draws like a dream. Installing an Akamatsu Mem Chip or an LLDS, then drawing up another one and installing that, then drawing up a third is a click to behold. 5 actions for one click! In 2 games I was down to 21 cards in my deck when the corp was on 35-36. Increases the draw quality of ProCo no end, too.

The key to this deck is the surprise factor, I think. Once you've played it once it's a bit easier to counter, but that first time it blitzes people who think their servers are safe. It sets up so quickly and once you have an Overmind out you can walk in to pretty much anywhere before they can get set up enough to do anything about it. A double R&D Interface install then run won me a game. The corp never saw it coming.

It's a hell of a lot of fun to pilot and I think the surprise factor is enough to win it a chunk of games. I'll keep tinkering in the meantime.

Events

Game Day and Scavenge are gone. You don't need the draw that GD brings, and all of the programmes that would otherwise benefit from scavenging are gone. There's no point in hard installing a Femme Fatale and scavenging when you can get it down for no clicks on a new target every turn, you know? You only need it every now and then anyway.

Hardware

In v0.2 the Akamatsu Mem Chips were dropped for Dyson Mem Chips in order to fuel Underworld Contact, but the whole thing proved to be too expensive for the return, so we are backamatsu.

e3 Feedback Implants isn't as important in the early game when you'll undoubtedly have enough Overmind tokens to break any ice you come across, and with the speed that this deck draws you don't need to worry about getting it out until later or at all depending on your opponent, so I dropped a copy.

The gameplan dies if all Overminds end up in the bin, so I've put 2 Clone Chips in to bring them back at a pinch.

Added an HQ Interface to give a bit more lock on HQ if you think that's where the points are.

I know I talked a big game about not needing Plascrete Carapace in the first version of this, but with that and the extra hand size you can steal with impunity from double Punitive, unless you stole a Govt Takeover, in which case you're screwed if you let it go to the Corp's turn anyway.

Resource

Public Sympathy is gone. 7 hand size is enough.

2x Armitage Codebusting, 3x Daily Casts and an Aesop's Pawnshop to bin them off for an extra buck drive the econ, You can even sell your Replicator once your rig is out. Professional Contacts replaces the Magnum Opus for click economy. The draw really made a difference, and you can always Armitage if you really need the creds.

Programs

Cerberus "Lady" H1 is useful to keep in hand in case you suspect a Curtain Wall (ie, you are playing Blue Sun), especially when it's boosted by the LLDS Processors. Femme Fatale is an all purpose hitter. Obviously nails Tollbooth pretty well, and does a nice enough job on bigger barriers if Cerberus "Lady" H1 is MIA. I generally think it's a good idea to keep it a secret unless you absolutely need to break one of the big hitters, as the Corp might get wise.
