SyncroScorcher/Program Trasher

steevo15 110

This is the latest NBN deck that I've been playing with on Jinteki.net. It's got about 15 games with 9 wins and 6 losses, not too bad.

Agendas:
3 astroscript is the no brainer include for pretty much any NBN deck. 3 global food initiative because it forces more agenda accesses than a normal 3 pointer would, while still keeping agenda density down. With the program trashing and binary ice means you can safely score one of these out, and a 3 point swing can be big. Quantum predictive model for tag hate, If i manage to get a midseasons off early, it makes RD a lot less agenda dense, and speeds up my scoring, its even won me games from someone hitting two of these in R&D with me at 5 points. Also QPM behind a data raven early game is fun to do. 15 Minutes completed my package of agendas that are hard to score/not worth as much.

Econ: I went with a mix of operation econ and asset econ for a good mix between speed and longevity. I do sometimes feel this deck can be a little poor if I'm playing up against whizzard and a runner that trashes all of them. the 1x was kind of my last card slot that I needed to fill and it can give a nice burst when the runner isn't expecting it.

Strategy:
Get some ice over R&D and HQ then start setting up your scoring server. Ideally you want, Archangel, Data Raven,a piece of ETR ice, and keegan lane. This becomes an extremely hard server to get into. You can even bluff an agenda by putting jackson in the server to make the runner waste a clone chip if you need to. Scorched Earth and Midseasons is your other win condition. Don't worry about waiting until the scorch combo is in hand to pop the midseasons, you want them at tag-finity as quickly as possible because it turns on your other cards like QPM and the Keegan Lane/ETR ice combo.

Other Thoughts:
Doesn't do well against econ denial. With the binary ice being so cheap to break once a rig is up, R&D and HQ become pretty easy to get into, however archangel helps to defend a little bit. Also I'm not sure if I want PAD or Marked accounts, I just went with PAD to cut down on click costs.

Thoughts/advice welcome
