Bypass Nasir

Ranamar 9

Nasir can, with the right timing, generate a remarkable amount of credits, but they don't necessarily come in terribly useful chunks. Additionally, since you control the order of triggers on your turn, the Security Nexus, once it's installed, gives you a choice on whether you want his trigger to happen for any given ice. I decided to expand on this theme, adding three copies of Femme Fatale so that we have additional ways to apply the bypass effect. There are several ways to cheat out a Femme, or you can slowly feed credits into one using Personal Workshop.

My first iterations of this did not have Magnum Opus, and it had trouble getting off the ground. Putting that in gave us some much-needed on-demand econ, but you can trash it later once the other drip stuff is set up, in order to reclaim some memory. Additionally, it makes a nice trash target if you want to Scavenge a new Femme rather than retargeting an existing one.

With all of the link going on, I might consider going for a set of Underworld Contacts. Might make you more money in the long run. If you drop both the Order of Sols and the Magnum Opus, you might also be able to fit a few Data Folding for a nice juicy late-game drip.

Yeah, I've got two in there already. ;) My thinking was that you get better setup drip out of order of sol, so you want two, and better late-game drip out of underworld contact, so you also want two. (I'd use three, but I'm running into deck space limits.)

Unfortunately, Magnum Opus is pretty non-negotiable due to start-up costs. Every time I have mulliganed away from a MOpus for a workshop, I have regretted it.

Ah, I see that now. :)
