Eidetic Cow v.1.2.1

caelenvasius 2

The basic idea: break anything easily and cheaply with a combination of Sage, D4V1D, and e3 Feedback Implants. Drip economy is cheap and plentiful, and you don't have to run every turn (though keeping up the pressure on the corp by hitting their remotes while their R&D gets new cards for you to multi-access is always good). Sage gets up to a healthy 12 strength fairly easily, meaning that D4V1D relaxes until a thick Firewall or Hadrian's Wall shows up.

Future Development Ideas:
• Lowering spent influence to squeeze in Memstrips for an even stronger Sage. Costs the Corp money to get those super-barriers to a high strength.
• Maybe switch out Creeper for G2 Shrike M2. A much better breaker for roughly the same money efficiency, at the cost of influence...a very tight resource so far.

Tournament Performance:
Nothing yet. New to the game, haven't gone to any tourneys yet.

Maybe drop the Easy Marks to free up some influence? They seem to be just another economy card.

I'd also try fitting in a one or two of Kati Jones, she's a bit quicker to get working than the drip, can provide the cash to get set up, and provides additional pressure later.

I'd also try and vary the numbers of Net Celebrity, Clone Chip and Scavenge to get down to 45-46 cards, a 3x of all them together seems a bit overkill, especially if the latter two are their to refresh only D4v1d.

Overall it looks like a solid Dinosage deck, don't forget you don't need a really high Str on our good philosopher early on, so don't be afraid to run early ;)

First version had 2xKati, and while the early small burst was appreciated, she proved generally a bit too slow for the deck's tempo. Scavenge is there mostly for D4v1d, but helps properly arm Sage if I must get him out before the console. Clone chips are insurance against program destruction, since I have only one copy of each breaker. While they can be used for refreshing D4v1D, that's not their specific purpose.

Dropping a clone chip may be a worthwhile endeavor however. While Replicator's in deck help me thin it quite early, an even smaller card count is always good.

Check out the new version of the deck, v.1.2.4, which is an attempt to solve a bit more without sacrificing too much.
