Moonbase Beta v3.0

TheArchitect 7

Making News deck I have been retooling and tinkering with for a long time now. It's fragile, and loses 95% of the games it plays, but when it wins, it wins well.

So I'm open to critiques and ideas for this that are not switch to Near Earth Hub.

It seems like you really want to do some tagging. Any reason you aren't using Universal Connectivity Fee? Any why 3 Beales instead of 3 Astros? Only one core set?

How are you scoring early agendas? Wraparound and Wall of Static? What do you think of adding Little Engine to give you a little ice boost at the beginning of the game? Help you score out that Restructured Datapool.

Why choose Character Assassination? If you want to make use of your ID ability, what do you think about using Snatch and Grab instead? Then you can swap the Character Assassination for a Breaking News. Not only will it bring you down to 20 AP, but it gives you another venue for giving the runner tags.

Are you banking on scorching them? What about including a Psychographics just in case they end up going tag-me but you can't finish the game with your Scorched Earth? It's another win condition that you could use in-faction.

I've considered Universal Connectivity Fee, but haven't really tried it because most of the time people will just avoid the tags completely, which I want them to do because it slows them down. And yeah, one core set, otherwise I would run the third Astro.

Early game is defense and credits. I used to run Breaking News and Archer so I could have that online early. I haven't tried Little Engine just because giving them credits is really bad from my experience, but I'll try it and see how it plays out.

Character Assassination is new, I just want to see how it plays out in the deck, but putting Breaking News back in instead of it would probably be better.

I have taken Psychographics out because it has done nothing ever in my deck and it has been there the entire time until now.
