Friendly Bioroids (At Ease SC Winner 2017)

Winning Corp deck from the At Ease Games store championship, in San Diego, CA. 13 players, deck went 4-0 in Swiss and 2-1 in the cut.

Taken/modified from @sjohn 's Friendly Neighborhood Bioroids, it performed quite admirably against a bevy of Sifr Whizzard and Sifr Noise (and a single brave Nexus Kate). The idea of AAL in place of Hedge Fund was inspired, and I think justifies the boost to a 3-of for Friends in High Places. The Ark Lockdown was key throughout the day with all the anarchs on consipracy breakers, and either bought me tempo (they had to find another copy) or forced them to hold and install from hand instead of trashing them simply from the threat. Great for picking off Parasites, though, and also picked off a Cyber-Cypher from the Kate player, so again bought me a few turns of window. Macrophage was a star in the Noise matchup, but was middling against the DumbleSifr decks I played.

Surprisingly, the SanSan City Grid really was the card that didn't pull it's weight on the day. With all the ice destruction out there, it was hard to make a remote that it could sit in, and typically that remote held a Breaker Bay Grid anyway as it served as a econ remote when I wasn't scoring. Two remotes didn't happen often, as I needed the ice to replace that which got ParaSifr'd. Needs more testing, but I might replace it with another Batty and an extra inf somewhere. Batty didn't fire on the day, but his threat made runners avoid his server, so I'm fine with his effectiveness.
