NBN Scorchless Slow-Advance Shutdown Glacier Rush Tagstorm.

Fridan 192

I'm working on a catchier title.

Full disclosure: this is not tested. It needs work. But, I'm keen to start a discussion on the viability of this type of deck.

I've wanted to make an NBN deck that doesn't Fast Advance or try to kill for a while now. With Data and Destiny it's finally possible. So what do we do instead of the usual NBN staples? How about everything else. Let's break it down:

Agendas

Global Food Initiative and Project Beale are 2 sides of the same coin: Worth 3 to you and 2 to the runner. The runner needs to steal 4 to win, you only need to score 3 (2 if they're kind enough to score a Quantum Predictive Model for you). With the amount of tags flying in this deck and the extra cost to remove them, Quantum Predictive Model makes sense. Top it off with a 15 Minutes for an easy score and to make it that much harder for the runner to get points.

Assets

Jackson Howard. Yeah. Only 2 because we can get away with it with a smaller deck size. News Teams are for tags because tags are great, and good luck to the runner that takes -1 point against this deck.

Upgrades

When you're trying to score 5/3s, you need Caprice Nisei. Keegan Lane covers the shutdown part of this deck, providing a reliable way to trash programmes mid run. This guy in a server with some tagging ice and a bit of ETR should keep the runner out for long enough, especially early which is what you're going for. I'd love to find room for Blacklist here to really boost the shutdown element.

Operations

Classic NBN operation econ. Closed Accounts and Psychographics are here to punish runners that float tags. These and the IDs flip side are hopefully enough.

Ice

Spiderweb, Wraparound & Quandary provide cheap ETR. Data Raven, Gutenberg & Resistor dish out the tags (don't forget they cost 3 to remove!). Lastly, Archangel assists Keegan Lane in holding back the runners rig, with the added benefit that it makes R&D digs a little bit more scary.

In summary: land tags, rush out big agendas, keep the runners rigless and poor, win every game(ish). Cards I'd like to fit in include: Reality Threedee, Blacklist, more all around tag punishment.
