Temple Club v 1.1

Zolend 193

First off, this deck plays much differently than a standard fastrobiotics list. It focuses on creating a taxing remote server and playing the never advance game with plenty of assets to fuel NEH drawand provide enough money for a strong ice suite.

One thing that sets this deck apart from others is its agenda suite: 10 agendas in 54 cards. Once you score 15 minutes, the runner needs to steal 4 agendas out of the remaning in order to win.

If you secure a good Sansan server early you may be able to score two Astros while preserving their counters which can lead into an easy win later in the game by installing Global Food Initiative on a Sansan, advancing twice and burning both Astro counters. This also works by bluffing out the GFI, which is a valid tactic if you get a good read on your opponents asset trashing tendencies.

Part of the advantage of the 54 card deck size is Museum of History. This asset allows you to recur Hedge Fund and Sweeps Week. It also helps a great deal versus Noise if it sticks. You can even do some pretty fancy agenda shenanigans with it in combination with Jackson Howard.

Launch Campaign bluffs agendas and pays you for it, also combos well with Mumba Temple which provides a must trash asset that will pay off big time if they ignore it. Even if they trash Mumba Temple right after the install it will often pay for itself and of course triggers that tasty NEH draw. It also helps fuel the ice suite which consists of high cost, high impact ice with end the runs. I offloaded economy to the assets in this deck, allowing the ice to focus on must break effects and hard end the runs.

Huh, not a Fastrobiotcs deck with 3 Astro 1 Biotic. ;)

I get what you mean.

@podoboyz99 Beat me to it, but it's unique enough I'll let it slide :) The EBC jumped out at me. What's important of a fetch to be the worth the slot? Or are trying to ensure the Temple credits get used (seems there's enough assets and upgrades for that) ? I wondering if a Team Sponsorship might be better (although if the temple's stick maybe no good targets).

@podoboyz99 You got me! I forgot to edit that part of the description, it carried over from the last iteration which had another Architect and Eli instead of Biotic Labor and Executive Boot Camp. Regardless, it's best to not play it as a pure rush deck like many Fastrobiotic decks :D

@sruman EBC could easily be TS or a Lotus Field. I tried different versions with Team Sponsorship (and some with Turtlebacks) and came away fairly underwhelmed. I included EBC as a potential counter to Valencia. There have also been games where I run out of thing to rez with Temple Credits if the runner is behind and ignoring Mumba temple. In that situation you are usually doing pretty well, but it's nice to Rez big ice every turn and force another run through the scoring server.

Also, having a Jackson tutor in a 54 card deck isn't bad :D
