Moon Wages

cylry 2

Fast-advancing a blank 3/2 with Biotic costs 7 credits and 1 card (in PD).
Why not fast-advance a "blank" 4/2 instead for 4 credits and 1 card?
(and get a Wage Workers installed+rezzed at the same time!)

Combining Moon-style PD with a FA plan. Certainly worse, but fun

Wage Workers replaces Seamless Launch.
Harder to NA a 4/2 (WW on board, rather than Seamless in hand), but can now FA a 4/2 from hand.


New lines (compared to standard Shoot the Moon):

4/2 from an empty board:
RLC (install WW) -> Greasing (install 4/2) -> Subliminal -> 4x advance

3/2 from an empty board:
Sudden (threat 3 to gain click) + (Greasing/Subliminal/RLC) -> install 3/2 -> 3x advance


FA'ing a 4/2 onto an empty board is relatively cheap:
FA Arcology: -4 credits and -1 cards -> 2pts + install+rez WW
FA OffOff: +3 credit and -4 cards -> 2pts + install+rez WW

WW goes behind a single ice. If not trashed by the runner, later FA lines are easier to assemble, and any unrezzed asset threatens to be a 4/2.


Card Thoughts:

Ablative is there to get back WW

RLC is key for FA lines, so don't fire for generic value

Sudden is primarily a late-game FA tool

Vitruvius can be NA'd early-game or FA'd later with Sudden (no WW needed)

Ikawah is a notable exclude, but hopefully runners respect the possibility and unnecessarily keep a spare click when running. FA/NA'ing a 5/3 is possible with this list, but tricky (if you can do that in a given game, then the 3/2s are sufficient)

Seamless is the other notable exclude. It might be correct to play a few, but they can get stuck in hand

Elivagar might be the right call? Can reset Ablative and Spin, plus get back key pieces via PD
