Dressed for Starlight (v0.1)

Ajar 1624

A centrals-only, HQ multiaccess, Starlight Crusade, Woman in the Red Dress deck?

Yup.

This might be the first list I test when H&P is available. If it works, then when Fisk comes out, I can save 4 influence by dropping WitRD, switching to Fisk, and adding Quest Completed.

The whole deck is kind of unusual, but I can quickly explain a few of the more esoteric card choices:

  • Woman in the Red Dress is there to amplify HQ pressure. With the monstrous economy offered by Siphon / Gamble / Find / Nap, getting into HQ either straight up or via Sneakdoor should be no problem.

  • Running Interference is for when the Corp figures out that you're centrals-only and starts stashing stuff in remotes. Siphon them and then hit the remote. This is the weakest point - it would be very, very nice to have Quest Completed for this purpose instead, but there's no influence for it until we have Fisk. In the meantime, I'm relying on two draws per turn making the Corp agenda flooded sooner or later. If they make multiple smaller remotes, I've also got Inside Job.

  • Sneakdoor helps ensure HQ accesses for the HQ Interfaces. With Desperado, the full rig is 5 MU.

  • Oracle May was the last card I added. I considered Stimhack, Notoriety, Quality Time, and a few other cards for that one point of influence. With 25/45 events, she should be okay, but the click cost makes her a lot less useful once Starlight is down. I plan to test her out and see how well it works.

Input welcome. It would be great to find room for Emergency Shutdown, but I just don't know what to cut. In the Fisk version, I'll be able to drop WitRD and the entire Hostage package, which will free up a lot of room. But until then, this may be the best I can do.
