Untested, Janky, stupid. Really stupid!

Game plan:

  1. Install standard Crisium Grid + Off the Grid combo.
    (No actual need for Crisium at all, but the synergy seemed okay.)
  2. Marcus Batty fires Metamorph -> Metamorph swaps OTG to HQ
    (see ruling on Metamorph - OTG cannot be installed in, but swapped to HQ!)
  3. Now HQ isn't runnable. At all. -> Any new OTG will stay forever!
    ...
  4. Profit!

I added some random agendas, eco cards, upgrades (to switch) and ICE to ... well ... make it a deck. Didn't give much thought into it, really.

I just wanted to try it out. And since my search for decks including Batty, OTG and Metamorph turned out empty, I thought I'd share this piece of jank with you.

Possible Improvement: White tree with OTG on all three centrals and The News Now Hour in a remote (for Employee Strike) -> no more runs possible.

@Krams:"Install only in a remote server."

That's the fun. See the Ruling on Metamorph for details.
OTG is installed only in remote server, but can be switched into a central server. Like HQ.
That stupid interaction is the only reason for the whole deck.

Fortunately Sneakdoor Beta, Political Operative and Omar Keung: Conspiracy Theorist exist to deal with this kind of jank. Keep us posted how it went in testing.

Played some games, did some standard glacier stuff, but couldn't pull off the combo.

I forgot that you can't really do the swapping thing during a run on HQ, unless you can then end it before the runner accesses OTG in the root of HQ. So you have to have Batty and Metamorph on a non-HQ server the runner is running (or being sent to by ID) and an upgrade in HQ and an OTG and the money to do it.

I will continue to try and see if it works just once.

Well, I built this deck to pull off the combo at least once and I just did. (After what? 5 tries? ...)

It was a messy long game and I clicked for creds about 20 times, but in the end I managed to get OTG on HQ and a scoring remote and then score out.

This janky, clumsy, silly combo fired. Case closed.
