So this is the kind of thing that can exist, assuming Biotic gets reprinted. Jeeves+Biotic, MCA, and glacier+ash are the main scoring methods. Score one agenda, and recur whichever works best for the next. Fire off a crapton of draw and credits off Fully Op and VLC. Sometimes you can use the ID ability to recur FO or VLC.

It's basically Asa in a new ID. Knowing that Asa won't have access to increased hand size, there's a possibility that Precision Design with its recursion does the stuff better.

An interesting way of playing HB:PD about which I havenĀ“t thought yet! I kinda disagree with your comparation with Asa. Asa allows you a very good click compression and securing your agendas and assets you just installed without tempo loss, while HB:PD allows you to to prepare for second agenda when you score the first (kinda like Tao, not? Maybe -3 Gatekeeper, +1 MCA, +1 Biotic and +1 Ash?

The remote play is very Asa-like, although the early board-building is significantly slower. However, the midgame board is very similar, minus Cybernetics Court.

I'd rather not triple up on cards like Biotic and Ash. The smaller deck size adds consistency, and the multitude of scoring routes with recursion means you don't need to draw multiple biotics, ashes, or MCA.
