Forge of SanSan V 1.1 (MWL)

This is the first round of modifications to a Foundry deck I've been testing. The idea is to get a bunch of ICE down quickly, and then use SanSan City Grid to quickly score out.

Having tested my first stab for a bit, a number of conclusions were reached:

1) Lab Dog is great, but it is in no way a substitute for Ichi 1.0, Architect, etc.

2) Adonis Campaign is too slow. It's all well and good having oodles of ICE on hand and tricks like SanSan City Grid and Biotic Labor, but 3 per turn is nowhere near enough to get that rolling quickly.

3) Unless the money situation gets remarkably better, NEXT Gold is too pricey. Also, I literally never got it to fire. I think that between it and Ichi 1.0, people expect some STR4 Sentries in HB.

4) Executive Boot Camp is super useful, but it's not worth dropping a Jackson Howard.

So, overall, Changes:

• -1 Executive Boot Camp, + 1 Jackson Howard
• -1 Biotic Labor, - 1 Interns, +2 Subliminal Messaging
• -1 NEXT Gold, -2 Lab Dog, + 3 Ichi 1.0
• -3 Adonis Campaign, + 3 Melange Mining Corp.

Mostly the changes are aimed at slightly burstier economy. I tried Blue Level Clearance for a bit, but the two cards and it being a double really counted against it. Not too happy with Subliminal Messaging, but not sure what to put in its place.

Weaknesses & Strengths

The money situation was certainly a bit of a bugger before; early tests look better for this one. Reina headlock build obliterated me in one game with the original, but beat the deck on the second asking. Team Sponsorship undid a lot of Keyhole damage.

Noise is a pain, particularly with Parasite, but if you can get a Team Sponsorship to stick, it solves most problems.

Leela's bouncing shenanigans were no problem. Derezzing actually helps me, and Executive Boot Camp was brutal to her.

The Agenda mix is brilliant. I'd put another Domestic Sleepers in if I could.

Wall of Static sticks out like a sore thumb in the ICE lineup. It just seems puny, but I can't find a reasonable replacement.

Future Options?

Not sure 3x Team Sponsorship are needed, and I want a replacement for Wall of Static. Mother Goddess also feels somewhat extraneous; I'm considering dropping it and one Ichi 1.0 for 2 of... something. Honestly can't think of decent HB ICE without running into the MWL!
