1st Place Dallas HAC Qualifier. Andy's back.

So with RP suddenly bad against the wave of noise and film critic, Andromeda is back and relevant just in time for worlds. People are running less ways to duck Account Siphon and you have plenty of tools to deal with remote spam, so your matchups are pretty solid all around. Indexing makes the FA matchup much better, and is still usually good for an agenda against glacier, which is often all you need.

Yog.0 and Passport is perfectly fine, as they will have at most 1 lotus field, and most will be cut in favor of something that doesn't get completely owned by faust.

Flexible slots 2nd Earthrise Hotel can be a third Fisk Investment Seminar , mostly a preference choice

2nd Bank Job can be either an Emergency Shutdown , 3rd Plascrete Carapace , 2nd Kati Jones , 3rd Same Old Thing or card draw of choice, depending on what you expect.

So far this has done very well against hbfa, neh fa and haarp scorch, rp matchup is a little rough though.

Would you consider slotting an Employee Strike in place of one of the Datasuckers? It's a surprisingly good current.

2 Nov 2015 itsbigfoot

with full anarch rig, I feel like you really want 3 suckers, as not finding one is the easiest way to lose. I do agree that employee strike is strong, and would probably greatly help the rp matchup, but both deck slots and influence are tight

Good old classic crim deck here. Not a slight on the deck at all, but very few 'new' cards here; a lesson in how the meta can switch around quite dramatically.

I don't know if it's worth the influence, but I feel like Jak Sinclair could maybe be tasty in this build to give you a free security testing/desperado run (it means desperado by itself becomes an underworld contacts!). Obviously only if they have uniced servers, but in this world of sportlebacks that seems a fairly safe bet.

How do you do against decks heavy with CVS? A mid-run virus clear into something nasty could spoil your day. Looks good against the NBN decks that are popular right now though.

Have you tested swapping 2x Indexing out for 3x Maker's?

Jak is the best runner card in DnD but you want more than one and influence is tight.

against multiple cvs decks you try to save the faerie until you can drop a femme. also this list largely relies on getting a lead before they're set up, and the cvs play is often later in the game. You do have enough back ups to lose something important and still win through inside jobs.

Maybe if you expect alot of news teams slot a data dealer?

So RDI was traditionally the R&D pressure of choice - what made you go for indexing over this.

4 Nov 2015 itsbigfoot

I've found RDI to be too slow against NEH, 4 to install is a tempo hit, and they can draw through 1 rdi very easily, which means you realistically want to get 2 up before you can force them to really care about R&D. Replacing them with 2 indexing 1 sot lets me be a lot more flexible with my high powered events, and lets me punish weak ice on R&D very hard with no setup. Also, indexing synergizes with Fisk Seminar, letting you clear one indexing to open up another for a lot of accesses in a very small window.

Fringe benefit of just winning (4~ points turn 1) some games with turn 1 indexing against open r&d, which happens a lot with andy

What are some pointers about playing FIS in this build?

I think drug dealer instead of earthrise hotel might be of benefit. It is not as a nuisance when you can click for 3 creds most games and also makes your opening hand easier to flop. John Masanori might also be an option as you are not running any resources you care about losing or stick around for long.

Otherwise the deck looks solid. Has some great match-ups versus asset spam and fa. I've been running a similar deck with mediums instead of indexing however I think indexing is less weak to cvs and accomplishes a similar goal.
