'Rig'or Mortis - Rig Elimination Protocol

LynxMegaCorp 1343

Here's my iteration of CP. The goal is simple: use CP's ability + Power Shutdown to eliminate breakers (especially fracters), while using Mushin to threaten Overwriter / 2 - 3 pointer scores. This deck runs fairly light on credits, mostly needing 2 - 3 a turn. There is plenty of synergy to be exploited:

  • rig trashing + Cortex.
  • Shi.kyu can be bid for 1 damage to turn on CP or force a -1 point, feeding Philotic.
  • Alelle Mushin when you need to 1) bait a run and 2) get key cards back (PS, CG, Hokusai, etc.)
  • PS also gets rid of pesky Feedback Filters (and other net dmg prevention).

Biggest weakness is lack of ice for early game, but 3x Shock, 2x Fetal and 1x Shi.kyu should punish many runs. Don't forget Hokusai.

Can't wait to test THIS one.

I like this CP idea! :) I'm working on one myself...probably gonna publish within the next day or two. It isn't quite the same, but I believe that possibly we could take inspiration from viewing the other's build. Good luck in testing!

Thanks! I unfortunately have very limited access to octgn, so I don't know when I can test it. I'd be elated if you took it for a spin and reported back. :)

Sounds like a plan. I play at a local store every Tuesday evening...I don't see why I can't give this list a whirl. :)

Hm... I think Quicksand could be decent in this deck, especially with the increased deck size. But it would lack the versatility of Bako.

Do you think this deck has enough ice? Maybe remove the Back Channels for Wraparounds to protect against AIs?

I just played this game on OCTGN. It's very interesting and efficient. Even after a LARLA the runner (Fisk) could no setup a proper rig.

Here are the tweaks I would make : -2 Back Channels / +2 Wraparound -1 Chronos -1 NAPD / +1 Utopia Fragment (always nice with Mushin and it gives a lower agenda density) -1 ToL / +2 Medical Research Fundraiser (this deck needs money) -1 Hokusai Grid / +1 Snare

You used this very deck? Woot!

I agree with your changes after thinking about runner options. My only question being why Snare? Left it out mainly because I only need to land 1 net to activate CP and I didn't want to be caught broke (or stress myself over it) when Snare! was accessed. Shi.kyu was essentially my Snare option.

Also, removing Back Channels and Trick of Light mean that Mushin'd Cerebrals become dead weight.

Yep ! ^^

Snare is for Jedi Minds Tricks against multi access. If you're afraid of cerebrals becoming dead weights, then maybe you can add 2 Shell Corporation instead of MRF.

I like that! Thanks for the feedback. :) Glad to see this deck has potential.
