Baba Yog.Andy

Aghora =Baba Yaga (Same Cost/Same Influence)

Identity: Other than Shaper (Self Modifying Code, Clone Chip, Test Run), the only way I can see Baba Yaga getting setup quick enough to be viable is through Andy. Programs: Getting Baba Yaga installed has to be your main priority! With 3 Special Order and 3 Baba Yaga, you have a 76% chance of drawing one of those into your opening hand, and a 95% chance with the mulligan. Breach pumps your strength 2 for 4 and breaks 3 barrier subs for 2. Faerie breaks sentry subs for free and can boost strength 1 for 1 to save a credit if the strength of the ICE is 5. Yog.0 breaks code gate subs for free. Turing and Swordsman are the only 2 ICE that cannot currently be broken by AI breakers, and Baba Yaga is an AI breaker. I have included Peregrine if Turing rears its head on a remote server. Peregrine breaks Turing, on a remote server for 4 and Yog.0 breaks Turing on a central server for 0. I have included Mimic if Swordsman makes an appearance. Trash Faerie the first time you encounter the Swordsman. Then, install another Faerie on Baba Yaga to regain the breaking of sentry subs for 0 and install Mimic if you need to get through the server Swordsman is protecting. Mimic gets through Swordsman for 2. Your main breaker suite (Baba Yaga, Yog.0, Faerie, and Breach) is installed for 12.

Resources: Temujin is great, everyone knows that! Use Same Old Thing to recur Special Order if your breakers are being elusive or for any of your events if the need is there. Security Testing is there to make some money and enhance your Temujin runs.

Hardware: Box-E makes some sense here. This will allow you to retain a hand size of 7 (to block BOOM!) and also gives you some flexibility with your opening hand if you don’t want to discard anything or be forced to play 4 cards.

Events: Account Siphon is here to make money and disrupt the Corp. Dirty Laundry is great by itself or paired with a run on the Temujin server. Use Easy Mark for some easy money and Express Delivery to speed up card draw. I’ve included Inside Job if an early access into a server appears necessary. I think Networking is a must in today’s Tag Meta. Plan to Rebirth into Leila to slow and disrupt the Corp or into Iain Stirling if you find yourself fighting from behind. Sure Gamble is here, for obvious reasons, and Special Order to help find your breakers.

I’ve found that the breakers appear fairly quickly. In testing, I’ve been able to be set up by Turn 4 or 5. I believe the ability to disrupt the Corp, all while making money and setting up your rig, along with Andy’s opening hand size, makes for the best Baba Yaga combination.
