Greasy Connections v0.2 (Beta)

Snake Eyes 4639

Taking advantage of Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer's link with Spinal Modem and Dyson Mem Chip.

As an economic venture, holding 24 Hardware and Resource cards in this deck - The Supplier is being used to get everything out for cheap.

The entire economy of this deck is drip based. If you can get a Dyson Mem Chip up, you can combo that with Underworld Contact. There is a potential 8 free credits a turn when set up. (With a single Daily Casts.

Since events aren't being used here to fuel Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer's economy, in comes Donut Taganes! I wish I could spare the influence to get a 2nd one in. Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer naturally pressures Corps to use up all of their operations right away. Donut Taganes will synergize with Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer's ability to neuter operation based corporations.

MemStrips should provide a huge amount of MU for Overmind counters, and an equally huge amount of strength for Sage, all while ensuring that Data Folding fires off it's drip economy.

Uninstall is a poor man's (influence wise) Scavenge. The main purpose of it is to reset Overmind, Imp and Cerberus "Cuj.0" H3's counters. While Scavenge would provide amazing pressure to switch effortlessly between Nerve Agent HQ pressure and Medium RnD pressure - the nature of this deck being an Anarch connections deck makes the influence space impossible.

Earthrise Hotel and Steelskin are the draw engines of this deck, with Steelskin mostly saved for bouncing back from meat/net damage (board state dependent).

Utopia Shard is how I'm using a leftover influence. Honestly I'm not dead-set on it. Of the single influence cards that aren't #Femme Fatale, it can probably be the most disruptive. It can potentially further mess with combos, be they fast advance or kill attempts. (or even just when I think that their hand is rich in agendas and worth using on a trip to the archives.)

I'm debating if I should try to fit in Scrubbers to help deal with trashable assets. Ideally though the economy in this deck will get rolling after a few turns so it won't be as necessary. Playtesting is required - it's hard to tell what a lot of these cards will do considering that 1/3rd of this deck is currently unreleased.

This looks like a really interesting deck! I feel like Liberated Account would fit nicely in here; with The Supplier out, it pays for itself instantly and becomes one of the best economy cards in the game. Not sure what you'd cut for you, but it's food for thought.

Hey @cranked

You know, you may be on to something there.

I'll be interested in trying that out once some of these cards drop - As it stands going pure-drip might be too slow to deal with the faster game... So having something a little burstier could help you get through a hump.

Thanks for the comment!

Yeah, I feel like Data Folding is the card you cut here. I've never played it, but I don't like the idea of an econ card that relies so hard on other pieces and can turn itself off and is untutorable. The fact that I still have to pay to take it off The Supplier makes me want to play it even less.

Definitely going to give this deck a shot when the cards drop, though!
