Death by Snu Snu

This has probably been done before, but it literally just occurred to me so I thought I'd throw it together.

Just install everything you draw and gain the odd credit.

Try to flatline the runner by throwing 6 Agendas into Archives, or something like that.

WHAT DO YOU KNOW, MAN. IT COULD WORK!

This seems a little simpler than the one I put together, but I don't think that's a bad thing.
Have you considered Diversified Portfolio? It could be a nice payday without needing a full bank if the runner isn't running on everything you play.

Get some Punitive Conterstrikes in here if you're expecting multiple steals. Also, Shipment from Mirrormorph, and diversified portfolio. I think this would be hilarious to play!

Thinking about it a little more; the Adonis campaigns will probably be squashed by a runner as soon as they are revealed; Private contracts might be better here. Maybe even melange, as it has the biggest immediate impact. Also, presumably Jackson is here for mostly card draw? Anonymous tip might be better, as it is quicker. That said, I have no idea how a deck like this is supposed to play!

Amazon women in the mood. Yeah, I think that's the one. Not much to the deck here, sorry for that, but the name made me laugh out hard. Futurama ftw!

Why no Fetal? Sure it reduces the number of agenda's they need to win but it also does 3 net damage when stolen in PE.

Also couldn't personal shutdown be funny here?

Thank you, my freaky darlings, for your input. They're all good ideas and I've implemented them thus;

-3 Clone Retirement, -3 Gila Hands Arcology, +3 Fetal AI.

Fetal is a great choice, very efficient Net Damage. Lowering my agenda count also may help prevent early game losing floods/accesses.

-3 Hedge Fund, -3 Adonis Campaign +3 Diversified Portfolio.

Discussing this with a friend, I think you're right about the Adonisisus'us, then I realised that I dont need to rez ICE and most of my traps are 0 cost. So Econ isn't as vital as it might be in another deck. This may change after further testing.

+2 Shipment from MirrorMorph, +2 Power Shutdown, +2 Anonymous Tip.

I like the staying power of Jackson, being able to draw six and throw away enough cards to flatline could be useful, but I think the deck suffers from a lack of drawing potential in the first place, so, Tips are in.

Mirrormorph I just plain forgot about, thanks for reminding me, and Power Shutdown could well be taffing hilarious, good call, babycakes.

edit: might just publish a new decklist

Have you considered putting something like inazuma or susanoo no mikoto in? while it deviates from the `no ice' plan, it does maybe make getting the runner into archives more easily.

What are the Power Shutdowns for? Is this to dump agendas in the archives? This is a super-bad plan; they can just draw to 8 and run archives; all cards are turned face up and accessed in an order of the runner's choice, and the game ends immediately when they get 7, so you'll have a really hard time flatlining them.

Is your plan to flatline? Or would you be open to a conventional win? If so, Fetal AI is a little counterproductive as you will likely never score it. All the other agendas you can lay down bare and score in one turn if needs be. If you were looking to reduce agenda density, Braintrust might be better.

I have a similar deck, based on the legendary 'Jamesteki' build. Some suggestions: - Don't bother with Punitive Counterstrike, as in practice it's rare that the runner scores more than 1 point in a turn against this deck, and even if they scored 3 so that Punitive was actually worth it, they will have loads of money from not needing to break ice so will usually be able to beat your trace. I also agree with Jashay that the Power Shutdown trickery is not worth it - the archives kill will be really hard to pull off. - I run advanceable traps. With Junebugs, Cerebral Overwriters, Ronins and all those agendas, the install-advance-advance play makes life really difficult for the runner. In a pinch it can even let you score out a Fetal, which will be next to impossible in a never-advance build. - Go to 3 EMP. The Ronin + 1 or 2 EMPs kill is surprisingly easy to pull off in this deck (if you go with the advanceable stuff). - 1 Scorched Earth might be worth it for Tag-Floaters or if they keep the tag from a Snare. - Celebrity Gift > Hedge Fund. Spend two clicks getting money, reveal your hand of 3 traps and 2 agendas, then shuffle your hand and install one at random for click 3. The mind games are so much fun :D

All that said, I'd be interested to hear how well this works when played as a never-advance. How often do you hit with installed Snares/Shocks/Shi-Kyus/Psychic Fields?

Ugh bad formatting. My apologies.
