Your mission: make them float tags.

Why? Once they do, there are only six agendas they can actually score. If you manage to get them to take 2 News Teams as negative agendas (usually by using An Offer You Can't Refuse into archives), then they have to hit 5/6 agendas to win. Not an easy task, especially when, in the process, they are scoring Quantum Predictive Model for you on those R&D digs.

The easiest way to land your tags is Midseason Replacements. Gain a bunch of money, throw a Global Food Initiative behind a Data Raven using Casting Call. I am regularly 10 credits or more ahead of the runner.

The problem with floating tags is a bunch of your ice becomes useless. Enter Information Overload and Resistor. Oh how I love trashing every installed card they have. Or just throw Keegan Lane behind an enigma and trash their decoder.

I am having so much fun with this deck.

I originally went with Project Beale but found that AstroScript Pilot Program put so much more pressure on the runner to run, which is what you want them to do.

Trouble spots: Crazy Iain Sterling decks with NACH and fall guy. You just have to move faster than him. A lot faster. Or get him to steal an agenda before fall guy comes out to get rid of NACH.

I don't see a ton of Film critic but if I do I would switch Keegan for a Snatch and Grab.

This looks like a lot of fun. The only suggestion I have is to replace the Hunter. I think that you really want 3 Data Raven. Also Turnpike might be a better alternative as it still taxes the runner a credit if they stop caring about the tags. Also SanSan City Grid may be a nice addition if you can fit it in.

When I get sick of meat damage I may give this a try. ^_^ Cool List

Yeah, I see what you are saying. I like Hunter because it costs 1 to rez, is strength 4, and has a trace 4. That is just good value. But a Turnpike might be worth playing with, especially since it isn't strength 4 for those pesky Atmans.

There is literally no room for a SanSan City Grid and I honestly don't think I need it. I can usually score out the first AstroScript Pilot Program no problem.

But what is fun is how many people THINK I am going to try to kill them and waste time digging for and installing plascrete.

I'll have to give it a try as is. Without playing it I feel like it would be hard to keep the runner out of your scoring server with only 2 enigma and the resistors. Especially if you have not landed tags yet. But I guess you would know since you are playing it ^_^ Another option might be a one off Tollbooth for the scoring server.

Anyways, I'll have to give it a try and let you know what I think ^_^

Not that you're doing meat damage, but an offer you can't refuse run into a Guttenberg seems like a cool way to tag the runner during your turn.

You'll have a difficult time against runners that are taking it slow I feel. But seems like a fun build!

The point isn't really to keep them out. It is to make sure they know they can steal only if they want ALL THE TAGS. Psychographics, Global Food Initiative and Quantum Predictive Model do the rest.

Also, I thought Turnpike was trace 3. I am definitely switching it with hunter. It's basically a trace 6 with the 1 credit loss. Thanks for the suggestion.

@Murse Offer into Archives with 2 News Teams is a great way to either tag them or make them lose 2 points. Usually people just give me the point.

But you are right. It is a great way to tag on my turn, which can be a way to deal with pesky resources like film critic
