The NEXT generation of FoodCoats

Foxtrott 35

This deck was developed out of my NEXT Design: Guarding the Net deck. I had some fun trying to make NEXT Design: Guarding the Net work, but then i realized there was a better ID to use for this deck: Haas-Bioroid: Engineering the Future (boring, but effective :P )

The main problem: Influence is tight in NEXT Design. So I initially ran 2x Marcus Batty. Now I had enough Influence spared for Caprice Nisei. Also comfortable: Econ isn't needed that badly anymore with the ETF credit, thus freeing up a slot for Biotic Labor. Some more slots opened for Ash and Breaker Bay Grid after reducing the amount of Ice to 18 (from 22).

Agenda choices: Mandatory Upgrades (Question: Who has 4 clicks a turn? Hint: I'm not looking for "a runner" :P ) Project Vitruvius (Advance it 7x, score it, score that ManUp next turn from hand by recurring Biotic Labor 4x... This shit actually can work. WARNING: Only do so when you're sure your scoring server is save! Else it could backfire! :P ) Accelerated Beta Test (ALWAYS FIRE IT, exceptions only when you got a Jackson out and are really desperate.) And of course some Global Food Initiative (That's why it's named FoodCoats).

Assets: King Jackson, our God Lord and Savior of the Archives! (Hail Jackson almighty! You shall be praised and glorified forever!) Adonis Campaign and Eve Campaign (Of Course - wait... only 2 ?!? ) Melange Mining Corp. (Wait... WHAT???? Ahhh, Synergies with scored ManUps, unlimited money if not trashed.)

ICE: Unfortunately, all Influence has been spent.. so I needed to stay in Faction. Greets, the NEXT Suite, hard ETR in HB. And parasite fodder. And our killer, used to kill either the programs or don't fool around and go for flatline. The rest is standard, Architect, AI hate, Eli, another killer, a big guy and a random thing.

Upgrades: Breaker Bay Grid to make everything in the server shine (especially Econ). Or you got 1 Cr left and the Runner will have 0 after the last ice... - Rez Breaker Bay Grid, then Caprice Nisei and Ash. ETR. Marcus Batty should be used as soon as the Runner encountered NEXT Gold... or the last ICE at the Server... use him, or he'll get trashed anyways... But a good setup with Batty and a killing ICE can win your game.

rough Game Plan: Mulligan for 2 ICE most of the time. ICE on HQ and R&D at first. Set up 1-2 remotes with heavy ICE. Place some Econ Asset in one of them (or both). Let the Econ fill your Credit Pool (Campaigns: they must do. Melange: 40 should be enough). Either the Runner just rezzed around 2-4 NEXT Ice by running and finds himself flatlined by Do X Net Damage, or you start scoring Agendas now. Hope for the best.

With 3 Breaker Bay Grids and only 2 Adonis / Eves, you're going to find yourself unable to 'combo' frequently.

You definitely want to find room for a third of each Adonis and Eve. I'd honestly just cut the Melanges. Makes RnD less porous, and Adonis / Eve force more onus onto the runner to deal with them.
