TechnoTags

Gilbod 192

I had a nightmare where I was playing Standard and my opponent was playing Eternal.

Nothing was fair. Everything was painful. So I woke up and made this...

TechnoCo slows the Runner down, lots of virtuals, hardware and programs out there to trigger on. Everything else is just about tags and tag punishment. If they have tags, you can score or kill.

Feel free to comment, tweak and refine.

I think you have way too much ice - 15 is usually reserved for glacier range decks! You can probably safely dip down to 9 ice, which would give you 6 slots to help your game plan.

I think 3 TechnoCo is overkill, but I think it's a great idea as a meta call right now. Data Ward is a cool idea in CtM - but I think it's only usable whenever you know that runners going TagMe is an inevitability. Otherwise, you might want to consider another option. Endless EULA feels really good right now - no one wants to spend 6 boat counters for it!

Having more Daily Business Shows really help curate and filter your hand so you can hide agendas until you're ready.

ARES I think is really necessary these days in CtM. With 1x, if it gets stolen it feels pretty bad and you also potentially risk not seeing it most of the game!

The things to focus are: -TechnoCo as a 1x-2x is a good idea as a meta call. -You need more burst economy I think to outlast the runner. Maybe Regolith Mining License? -Less ice, but you have interesting ideas. Maybe consider Endless EULA and if you want 1x Data Ward, that would be extremely powerful. -Ping is a low tax after the surprise rez (which is admittedly powerful). Maybe reduce the number of pings and install over it when done (to Spin Dr. back?) -Amani Senai and Vera Ivanovna Shuyskaya are absurdly powerful, especially when playing like a shell game CtM. -Predictive Planogram is such a flexible card in CtM, I think it's a must.

Let me know what you think!

Endless EULA is definitely a consideration and is strong right now. Agreed tweaks can be made to fit it in.

Daily Business Show is also good but there's already a lot of draw and burst economy from Rashida Jaheem, though, not filtered. Could do a swap for 2x each.

Amani Senai while powerful, is a anti-combo with Freedom of Information and the Tag strategy since she's based on the Advancement requirement, which might be very small to zero if everything goes according to plan.

Vera Ivanova Shuyskaya is very powerful for knowledge and sniping cards from the grip, I could see it helping if the Runner had a large handsize, but usually Boom will just kill them.

Predictive Planogram is a very flexible operation, especially with a tag in play, but again Rashida does what it does without a tag, and just needs to wait on the table. Could have a slot, but it doesn't combo with your ID trigger if you wanted to bait runs and triggering the trash with facedown installs.
