Engineering the Fast Advance

Almost an exact copy of my pre-upstalk regional deck. ICE is slightly different, and I had Gila hands but it took me to 4th/5th out of 40 something people. I think this deck would do great or you, maybe consider corporate troubleshooter?

I'm considering cutting a roto and guard. for two ichis. Bastions or eli?

Pre-emptive apology if this post dupes again, Idk what's up with that...

The only bioroid ICE I ran was 2 Ichi 1.0, but beware, as powerful as Inazuma/Ichi is, it's also 4 pieces of ICE that can do nothing for you. If it's the only ICE you get early, it can be very difficult.

this deck is 6-0 on octgn

Why burst event economy over Adonis and Eves ?

Speed. Drawing cards and making money simultaneously is very powerful. It really compresses the game, especially if you're playing a rush style with program trashers. Allows you to find agendas to score them while runner searches for breakers. Additionally, it helps break R&D locks while still making it profitable.

Asset income sources are great, but better for a longer style deck. It's a lot more difficult to rush agendas in a server that has all your future money in it.

so do I cut the 1 guard and roto for ichis or not???

If I had to do it over, I'd sub archers for inazumas. Sounds intense, but sacking 2 points for an auto score windows is amazing. I think having any soft ICE eventually cost me at my tourney. If you play any inazuma, I'd suggest 1. It's also really bad vs parasites when they kill the ICE it's in front of.

I'd go either -1 inazuma, -1 guard, +1 archer, +1 ichi or -2 inazuma +2 archer.

@Nordrunner disagree that asset income is useless for HB FA.

First of all, it is great defense against siphons. HB ice is already quite porous, so having those credit dumps are really helpful. I've had games where keeping unrezzed assets kept siphons in check.

Second, HB can FA slower than NBN and it's just fine. The ice is more taxing and most importantly, you don't rely on a single agenda (APP). Whether you score ABT, Vitruvius, or Gilas in whatever order doesn't really matter. This, IMO, is what really separates HB from NBN. Although I would have to say scoring Gilas first really helps. Therefore, you don't need to draw like crazy to find a specific agenda like NBN.

Third, having the runner waste clicks and credits running assets means they can't setup. And if they don't trash it, you get a ridiculous amount of money which you can use to set up good ices like Tollbooth.

Finally, it just naturally combos with the ETF innate.

@johncraven I never said the campaigns were "useless" in HBFA. In other versions of HBFA I would prefer them. If I were using bioroid ICE that was more taxing I'd definitely use Eve and Adonis for the reasons you highlighted.

This deck is all about ETR, rushing agendas and rig breaking. Speed (Blue level/Green Level/Fast Track) only magnifies this version of HBFA.

oh ok sorry for misunderstanding
