New Runner- New Deck

GoingGrayt 1

System Gateway is my first introduction to the game, so this is likely a hot mess of janky aspiration.

Goals:

  1. Use Egret and Pelangi to maximize identity power
  2. Burst economy over consistent pull (e.g. Smartware Distributor)
  3. Card draw

Win Conditions:

Not really a win condition, but attempting to balance economy, identity power, and code gate conversions (Egret, Pelangi) for consistent running.

Concerns:

  1. Overall balance of economy and events
  2. Speed to decoder install
  3. What I don’t know
  4. Oh... and tags.... loss of tempo to tag removal

Considerations:

Conduit +2:
Egret -1,
Pelangi -1

Red Team 3:
Retrieval Run -3

The Maker's Eye +2:
Simulchip -1,
Test Run -1

I'm surprised you're not on Self-Modifying Code. Instant-speed Pelangi or Egret is a lifesaver, not to mention that you can pull Euler at the right time.

@pang4 You have a really good point. I originally excluded it because of concern over memory, but thinking about it further, this is probably a misplaced concern. It is more probable that I will be under the memory cap when Euler or Egret are needed and trashing SMC frees up 2 memory, so even after one of the programs is installed, memory is still net +1. Thank you!
