Director Upgrades

ImTheBanker 141

I so want to make Director Haas and Mandatory Upgrades work. Here is my attempt. Nothing but asset economy to save on clicks while taking advantage of ID, and because I may need to stealth out a Haas in a tough spot. Biotic Labors and SanSans to help score out agendas. The ICE is almost identical to my "My ICE is Bigger than Yours" deck. Use Bioroid Efficiency Research and Oversight AI to rez expensive ICE and delay the runner.

Edit Changes so far: +2 Adonis Campaign, -3 Encryption Protocol, +1 Jackson Howard, -1 Melange Mining Corp., -1 Closed Accounts, -3 Reclamation Order, +3 Bioroid Efficiency Research, +1 Subliminal Messaging, +1 Heimdall 2.0, -1 Ichi 1.0, +1 Ichi 2.0.

Since you're playing HB with big bioroid ICE anyway, I think you should use Bioroid Efficiency Research instead of Oversight AI. That way you don't actually lose the ICE if it's broken later. You could probably take out one of your Melange Mining Corps without noticing any pain too, and the same goes for SanSan City Grid .. two should be enough, since you're not going to rez more than one during a game anyway.

Suggestions: -1 SanSan, -1 Oversight, -1 Melange, +3 Bioroid Efficiency Research.

I just noticed you're playing double Closed Accounts but your single Ichi 1.0 is your only way of theoretically tagging the runner. Unless you're facing a lot of tag-me runners in your meta, I'd probably change them for something else. A couple of Subliminal Messagings would do you good.

@JetBlackJoe Yeah, I actually changed around some pieces pretty soon after posting. What I'm currently looking at is -1 Closed Accounts, +1 Jackson Howard, -1 Adonis Campaign, -1 Melange Mining Corp., -2 Reclamation Order, +3 Bioroid Efficiency Research, +1 Heimdall 2.0, -1 Ichi 1.0, +1 Ichi 2.0.

I added an ICE since I played a game last night where not drawing into ICE basically spelled my doom, and I opted for the bigger Ichi since you can't click through it, making it a better candidate for 1 of the auto-rez operations.

I'll keep a close monitor on Oversight AI and the 3rd SanSan: not sure what I would replace them with at the moment. And I keep the 1 Closed Accounts, because I've found Siphon and other Tag-Me strategies to be a major deterrent. Limiting that kind of burst econ also usually buys me a couple more turns to muscle out a Mandatory Upgrades behind Heimdall 2.0 or Wotan.

Also going to change the 3 Encryption Protocol out for 3 Adonis Campaign. Worried about economy otherwise. We'll see!
