Near Earth Hall

Who doesn't like a little bit of asset spam?

Using Mumbad City Hall, I've found that the deck runs even faster than prior Mumba Temple decks and re-justifies adding back the Museum of History that had been cut.

If there were extra influence laying around, including Heritage Committee or Hostile Infrastructure would be quick adds to the deck. Heritage for its great interaction with MCH and HI for a solid answer against Apocalypse. As it is though, we're running 3-ofs for everything influence bearing (except Global Food Initiative) just to make the deck run smoothly. I've tried various combinations to fit one or the other in (including a version using Swordsman and Crick) to get the Alliance bonus, but this ends up taking too much of the influence.

Franchise City doesn't see much play, but this card really shines in this deck. The credits from Temple really help offset its cost and the numerous 1-point agendas make losing an agenda much less painful. The fact that it gives you points before the opponent gets their points from stealing really pushes it over the edge from mediocre to a worthy include, as it becomes a "Must Trash" card in the late game.

The All-Seeing I is a card that I'm still on the fence for. It combos incredibly well with Breaking News to shut out some decks, but that's still a 2-piece combo. It might just be better as a 3rd Pop-up Window to provide a disincentive to trash-happy runners.

Otherwise the deck is pretty standard temple fastro.

Cards that were considered but not included:

Sensie Actors Union: Daily business show is always great and is expensive to trash, this card ends up giving too much draw I felt. I still could be convinced of going 2x BDS, 1x Sensie.

Econ operations: I used to run Diversified Portfolio, but it often ended up feeling "win-more". Hedge Fund or Sweeps Week helps out early, but since going 3x Turtlebacks and Mumbad City Hall, the economy engine's felt quite smooth without it.

Interns: I really like a singleton interns, but since going up to 3x Team Sponsorship, it has felt less neccessary.

Flare: I really want it to work, but the math just isn't there.
