W.R.A.I.T.H.0.5 (e3-EH-O)

update to W.R.A.I.T.H.0.4 commit...

This version gets down and dirty with e3 Feedback Implants using the fact that ~60 out of 167 pieces of ICE have an ETR (End the run) subroutine and the two main breakers get so saucy with it's use, and once again it's hardware, so more Replicator goodness. Overmind is there for the 1 or 2 STR pieces of ICE that don't have an ETR sub, which there are about 50 playable pieces, the other 50 never get played, so the bases are WELL covered.

Archer KISS MY A$$, sac a card ¢¢¢ bye! Love that so much, all because it has an ETR sub, haha, Endless Hunger + e3, and see ya! (1 card plus 3 credits?) There isn't an ICE breaker in the game that can do that turn after turn...(turn after turn).

I had to drop the Reaver and Harbinger for now at least, because I wanted to get real. Wasteland gets good use late game when funds are tight, kinda like a little savings area, and you only need like 1 credit for e3 pump, I really debated on keeping them, but when you start trashing cams getting a 1¢ or 2¢ back is really nice, andHunting Grounds keeps NBN pissed.

This deck is so FUN! It's classic mtg Lich. I survived a 2x Prisec + 3x Scorched Earth hit being able to control the damage with Heartbeat leaving me with 6 agenda points and a 2 cards in hand my turn installed a card face down and installed Endless Hunger then ran thru a two ICE R&D with only one ETR and topping a Hostile Takeover for point 7!

I am sold, getting ready to just call this 1.0!

OK, I was just played a game (jinteki.net) where I was going to classify this as "Why Brain Cage is sweet" but it really didn't matter. But it can. Here is a quick recap. I draw 5 and get Day Job, Brain Cage, Heartbeat, Dyson Mem Chip, and Overmind, so I am like keep.

On his turn he plays Oaktown Renovation adv adv.

I am like a ok, sea source? Not having played in a while, I go what the hell. So on my turn I go: Face Down Dyson. {Click}: Draw {Click}: Heartbeat {Click}: Brain Cage, sac the Face Down Dyson {Click}: run Remote, score Oaktown

His turn he plays Midseason Replacements I draw up to 5 cards and Run an open HQ, whiff.

His turn BOOM! my whole rig gone but I am alive. Whew. So I build my rig up with a Replicator and next turn he is like BOOM! again, but I had another Heartbeat in play with Double Replicator and a Replicator face down and Heartbeat in hand, but once again I am at exactly 7 cards. :( But I get lucky and get a rig with e3 + Overmind + Endless Hunger, he has a 3 ICE HQ which I shred past twice, and score a Project Atlas. The turn before he scored a Hostile Takeover giving me a Bad Pub which helped. I get two Spy Cameras (Replicators gone) but I have two and see EH and Overmind back to back. So I build up credits and he is DYING over there waiting for his 3rd Boom (with my 12 tags) hehe. Trash EH and O and Install Overmind (netting 4) then Endless Hunger and then the pain begins...

I score a Global Food Initiative and I say to him, one of my (I think funny) comments, "Ghetto win I guess" :) And he says back I am sorry you're not having FUN, gg disconnect! I was like WAIT! I am having a BLAST!

I was going to type: Cause you'll probably just draw BOOM! right here right? but he was gone... :(

Ghetto win is when you don't win Because of a 1 INFLUENCE card, and just because of a 1 INF Agenda you sit there and are staring at 2+2+2(3) and say but that's 7? haha but we know it's not, but oh well what a sore sport... I think he knew I was going to shred that Meru Mati HQ and score again...

So there's a server with double Turing. How do you deal with that?

@mcbeast Well I didn't really want to get into revealing this "secret" which is one of the main reasons that lead me to building this deck, but, if you look closely at Endless Hunger you will see that it's NOT A.I. LOL. So you just sac a card for the first Turing and sac a card for the next Turing. It's magnificent isn't it?

Dang, but a last I am wrong I just noticed what you are saying now. :( Bummer. I thought I got past the first requirement, but I didn't meet the 2nd requirement: It has to say "End the run.". I am ok with loosing to double Turing tho... due to surprise factor and them not know the deck list. Who knows maybe in the future I will throw a cheap Code Gate Breaker in... Thanks for the tip...

@mcbeasthere's a better question: How are you gonna get past that Data Raven? haha This game is sick, dude. if they're playing HB or splashed for 2x Turing then I loose Willy Wonka style, but them playing HB is a plus in my book. I have yet to find a deck that just can handle everything "IN TIME", know what I mean?

I tried building an Endless Hunger deck. But I used Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar's ability instead of Replicator, and I put Endless Hunger on Dinosaurus. I'm still trying to tweak it,but I like your idea here.

Thanks!@Vanderhuge, trust me going thru motions of it haven't gotten boring yet... There haven't been too many shuffle shuffle decks in ANR...
