I'm finding Overmind to be pretty dam awesome here. E3 plays with your click to break directive very well, so overmind was a natural choice for a go everywhere breaker. This and resource based econ has been kicking ass for me.

Adam seems to win when you can knick an early point or two and get your console out. After that, your Overmind's and E3's will get you anywhere pretty much. And you have a semi-hq lock idea in place to pick out agenda's that can't be put in the remote, so you can easily aggro HQ from round 1 and usually will pick up a point or two.

Some thoughts on econ. Multi-threader is a wonderful econ card for Overmind, it powers the big guy up so nicely through-out the game. His clicks are very limited, especially when you must run, and you really want it to be successful (in the early game, you are desperate for 2-3 points) hence the clickless, resource based econ choices. Human First is a boss. I absolutely love this card if you can get one on the table before the corp scores its first points. Armitage will allow you to burst out your turn if you haven't clicked through stuff already. Most of your early game is dedicated to HQ runs and remote watching, so you will rely on your click to break directive heavily. Why no event econ? Well, I found you are often spending clicks to run (you must run first click, and often will use 2/3 to break in), and this meant that clickless econ seemed much more practical. Especially when you access something you must trash, and then don't have 5 bucks for sure gamble anymore.

Dr. Lovegood is ok, and necessary when in the face of Kill Decks like Butchershop. There are one-of directives so when you draw one, then you can independently think and chop resources that have 1 token left on em.

I really like him so far. (opinions may vary, and i think there is room to explore a more run event based guy, but here's my contribution to the think tank). His massive influence, built in breaker and support cards make him a superior Quetzal IMO and I think that is a great direction to take him.

Really like the look of this, sticking a pin in it to try when DnD comes out!

The one I'm not sure about it Human First... Does it really provide better econ than something else you could grab for 2 inf? Scrubber springs to mind as an econ card that works well with Neutralize All Threats. Human First will give you at most 11 creds net over the game, if you trash 6 cards Scrubber is equal. I think that will happen more often than Human First giving a big payout! Also gives you a couple more dots of Inf to play with.

Thanks @unitled. I so badly want to include Scrubbers. I think dropping to 2 Gang Signs might be right call to include 2-of them. In my mind, if you get a Human First out before the corps first score, it'll net you 6+ for a single click. That seems really reasonable to me given the aggro nature and clickless econ strategies.

Very cool deck. I've been struggling to find the right Breaker Suite for Adam, and Overmind seems like the perfect fit. I've shied away from all AI because of Swordsman and Turing, but then someone pointed out to me that you can just click through anything dangerous with Always Be Running.

Also, I must applaud the flavour of this deck. Imagine Adam, sitting in a hotelroom after having killed the tenant, rabidly hacking anything he gets his mechanical hands on using nothing but his big brain and his hardware implants. Sooner or later, as per the second directive, he joins radical gangs and makes connections in order to more effectively hack. Because that is what. He. Must. Do.

As a Sunny-brewer, I have a hard time seeing the charm in Adam, but you may just have sparked my interest ^^

I think after much testing the correct breaker suite is 2-3 overind 1 mimic 1 zu 1 corroder with smc/special order, however you do it. I'm doing 1 more night of testing before V3 of mine is live. I wish more people posted Adam bidness.

Starting to come round to that line of thought. Trying desperately to find room for some sort of RnD multi-access as well.
