Armand "Adjusted" Techlord

braincage 8

Hello!

The obvious idea is to trash a lot of cards in a useful way and therefore profit from Armand's ability a lot (thus providing the accelerated card draw). I combined this with "Old Drippy", the combination of a lot of link and Underworld Contacts + Data Folding. Both boosts in drawing and in generating money should make the deck basically a strong one.

Logos: Gives me the possibility to pull off a card combination I want to pull off or hands me the plascrete if needed.

High link strength: Blocks NBN's and other tracing shennanigans if needed

Chronotype + Qianju PT bike: immunizes against e.g. a brutal Weyland-Tag

Brain Cage + Levy: a solid combination against net and or meat damage dripping my cards away

Film critic: outmaneuvers evil agendas

Cronotype + Hard at work: this should win the economic battle against the corp if needed

Breakers: The cloud breakers will do the dirty work and the more expensive breakers will carry the load in the mid- to endgame if needed.

Inside Job + Account Siphon + Special Order is the usual criminal gold, nothing to say here.

Hades Shard: this card is usually not expected in this deck and can be a matchwinner

The deck has won me a quite some games, sometimes its a bit slow. The best thing in this deck is the free Logos superdraw once in a while, it absolutely makes this deck shine. I have been playing Netrunner for a long time but this is my first published deck, so I would love to see some commentary on it. :)

I like the deck, though I am wondering about your consistency with all the one-offs and do you feeld Leviathan is worth its high cost compared to other options?

I would think that even without e3, that Peacock would beat out Leviathan anyday. Still, this looks cool. :) What about an Activist Support to combo with the Qianju PT?

@ esutter479: Wow, I didnt think of that. Thats a three card combination and therefore not easy to do, but it would really be great. Thanks!

@sodtimberwolf: I think Leviathan is a little underrated. The main problem is having the inicial 6 credits to play it, after that it usually costs 3 creds against "small" code gates and 6 against "big" ones. Other breakers may be better, but not enormously. The leviathan is of course a choice I made because I lacked the influence.

What are the common code gates that you might have to face with Leviathan? There aren't many over strength 5, and those that are strength 5 typically have a single sub-routine (Tollbooth and Turing basically). With the additional install cost, I can't see how Leviathan is ever really better than Peacock.

Qianju PT however, seems an inspired choice in this post-Film Critic/Midseason Replacements meta, with SEA Source on the up again.
