Just Do it

say200426 623

The first time I saw this ID I immediately feel really excited.

I love NBN, but fuck the NEH. I want something different.

This is my build of Haarpsichord (BTW, how does this pronounce?)

This ID's ability seems extremely crap: The runner can only steal one agenda per turn?? How many times can this be triggered?

but this build make this ability so useful. Yes, we have 20 Agendas.

basic strategy:

draw your hands, if you have 2+ econ cards => play or you just mulligan

draw cards like stupid corp and grab your ices

Gutenberg for R&D defense, pop-up & barriers for HQ

play out all of your econ cards, get your killing suite.

basically you'll have 7 turn to survive, if your opponent didn't score?

Congrats, you have 1 more turn to grab your cards.

About Agendas:

Award Bait=> never score it.

Breaking news=> put it down, try to snipe useful resources.

Chronos Projects=> score it if it's useful for you.

False Lead=> mostly useless.Unless you really score it and wait for Gutenberg/TGTBT chance.

Gila Hands=> mostly useless in this deck, you seldom click for credits.

Profiteering=> MUST SCORE IT, fuck the BP since you don't care.MVP for this deck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TGTBT=> never score it.

If you want to score a agenda always put down 2 or 3 agendas. Try to make them steal the useless one, profiteering is so important that, the agendas shell games is inevitable. Scoring a profiteering is just like played 3 Hedge Funds within single turn, midseason won't be too difficult. throwing agendas into archives won't be a big deal, seems a good idea for award bait or TGTBT

current went 21-1 in deck testing, trying to make it better now.

Don't be afraid of account siphon imp or other shenanigans.Never lose by those cards. the only lose is from early Magnum opus, and my testing partner knows what trick I am playing, so he just clicking credits like mad.

This looks a lot like Butcher Shop (for NEH). The main problem is that you are giving yourself less time to make up the economy engine to kill, and giving you the opportunity each turn to land Midseasons.

What do you do if you have a bad hand (i.e., no midesasons) or runner trashes it with imp? You have to either look for money or the card, but can't do both.

cannot find midseason can be a huge trouble, but I never have credit issue, I always sit in 50+ credits.

Imp is fine, but midseason can be sniped out for sure. Imp is always the biggest enemy for butchershop deck.

Harpsichord is an instrument and it's pronounced like harp-see-cord www.youtube.com

HAARP is an acronym for the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program: en.wikipedia.org

So I'm guessing "Haarpsichord" is a clever amalgamation of these two things :)

Unfortunately, a deck like this will get utterly hosed by a card coming out in the same pack as this identity, Film Critic:

#86 Film Critic 1 cost 1 influence Shaper.

Resource Connection

Film Critic can host a single agenda.

"Whenever you access an agenda, you may host that agenda on Film Critic (the agenda is no longer being accessed and is uninstalled).

[CLICK], [CLICK]: Add an agenda hosted on Film Critic to your score area"

@DrunkenGineer In such a world that full of pure hate cards, I don't feel threatened. This is not Magic:The gathering, you are not to pack each pure hate cards to your sideboard.

I know that card can solve many problems (If haarpsichord become a thing and Fetal AI, Sensies, TFP)

You sit on 50+ credits? How so? Your only economy is 12+12+15 (from events) + whatever you get from pop-ups plus the 15 from Profiteerings you might score.

To stay at 50+ credits you must score a couple of profiteerings (30-6 from advancements)+play 5 economy cards (out of 9)....which is already on turn 4-5.

Too risky, specially since you might need more than one turn to kill if runner has a plascrete.

@NushuraYes, playing 5 events to get 20 credits and scoring 2 profiteering net you 24 credits make you reach 50 credits. The credit earning speed is so fast that no runner can surpassing it.

To be honest, I still have no idea why don't you try this deck in proxy first? This deck is risky for sure, but can lead to easy win on a 95% confidence.
