The hammer

Archdukej 12

This is my first stab at this deck. The idea is to smash the runner's rig over and over while rezzing relatively cheap ice. I'm not 100 per cent on some of the ice choice. I obviously want all of the NEXT ice I can get. I then want to guide the runner into a NEXT gold with a Marcus Batty. If that doesn't work, I can always use the Twins. Lab Dog to make them think twice. Same with aggressive secretary.

Ooh, more Foundry love. I automatically approve.

I would recommend Executive Boot Camp; it lets you trigger the ability on your turn as well as when the runner runs at you, so you can set up really fast. Works brilliantly with the cheap NEXT ICE too.

I've not tried Marcus Batty yet, although he's obviously very powerful. I find influence to be a wee bit tight. I'd be interested to hear how you're finding him.

I would drop the Mother Goddess; it's only useful as a NEXT booster, and you can easily get out more NEXT ICE than any other deck without really trying. A second Lab Dog would be absolutely brutal, though; When you rez one and trash a bit of hardware, they then have to watch you search out another one. Next time you install a bit of ICE, they'll never know if they can run it without losing more hardware. Pure mind games.

I'd also drop the Research Grant for a single 3-pointer (I prefer Hades Fragment). And I'd recommend giving Merlin a spin; crazy strong in Foundry

Hope the deck works well for you!
