This deck is in "proof of concept" phase.

The idea was to go all-in on the new NBN theme of boucing the runner's installed cards back into their hand or into the stack.

The two primary ways to do this are Marcus Batty into a Sandman and SEA Source into Self-Growth Program. Follow that up with a closed accounts and you are loving life.

Your dream remote server is Jua into Sandman into an etr ice, like Enigma or Fairchild 3.0 with a Batty installed.

I'm not sure if Endless EULA is the right call but I am giving it a shot. So far, I like it.

Last night I played a game and my opponent ended the game with 0 cards installed and failed to steal my degree mill. I bounced Laguna Velasco District back into his hand twice.

I was mulling over something similar with Batty/Sandman recently but never got round to fleshing it out- I'd be interested to see how this progresses.

@cripplingselfdoubtI saw Batty once last night and it fired like a dream. That's a triple hit if you can land it.

@Benjen'Couple' of questions: why 43 cards/what would the 44th be? Do you find you have enough creds to land SEA Source? I see your comments on EULA, but a non-porous (and maybe cheaper) ETR seems like it might be more reliable- would you consider something simple like Wraparound? Lastly, have you found run timing structure to be an issue? I'm thinking about the runner being able to install MKUltra from heap if they've not been Jua'd- they get to break the Sandman subs at 3.1 before Batty can fire (sure you can Batty afterwards, but the window of greatest effect has gone). /endquestions

@cripplingselfdoubt I totally missed the 43 card thing. I know the deck I’m using has 44 but I’m not sure what it is at the moment.

Sea source wasn’t a problem.

I think a wraparound is good in place of the enigma.

Yes, a black orchestra installation from heap isn’t ideal, but I haven’t played this against many anarchs. I would imagine most players would want to pre-install heap breakers if jua is a possibility as those breakers can get locked in the heap.

The deck does need more testing to be sure. I’m going to try personalized portal in place of ipo this week.
