Nasir Recuring Free Money (upstalk) 2.0

Pinkwarrior 2343

So after playing abit with Nasir i figured 2 things 1. I had way too much recurring creds 2. Ice destruction seems like the way to go as this forces more Resin of ice from the corp.

I droped the compromised employees as they weren't really pulling their wight (especially if you somehow don't hit the workshop) and spinal modem don't actually hit you that often to warren it.

I also dropped the sure gambles as i found alot of the time they were useless (which was an odd feeling to be sure).

Battering ram and Gordian i've kept the abilty to dump your cash into a breaker before losing all your cash is certainly helpful and allows you to actually make some cash on ice res.

Kraken's gone in cos corps don't like resing ice against nasir so your bound to get an agenda early and it can be a nasty surprise. i dont know how much use this will actually be but its more destruction so heres hoping.

I really like Spinal Modem with Nasir. Kraken is an interesting choice. I like the deck!

I'm not sure about Indexing in Nasir decks because he has trouble with multiple runs each turn. I'd probably swap those for The Maker's Eye.

@CJFM You might be right their about indexing id not thought about that issue with multi access its usually a staple card but then nasir isn't usual.

Indexing is a win condition, though. If you hit it at the right time, you only need to indexing -> click money off Kati -> run with R&D interfaces/Maker's Eye once to win.

Have you found the brain damage risk to be manageable for spinal modem?

@DrunkenGineer Yeah i fine the brain damage to be fine i've not actually taken any as of yet, the fact its only during the run that the trace counts and if its successful which when they've given you cash or with a breaker is easy to avoid. plus running 2 spinals rather than 3 means i get it abit later when i've got some breakers generally.

I think its abit underrated tbh is spinal cos of the brain damage.

@DrunkenGineer I understand what Indexing is used for. I've used it a lot. The problem is that, generally speaking, you won't get more than 1 access with Nasir per turn, and with only 2 Kati's floating in the deck, it's tough to get her early enough consistently for that condition to be satisfied. For that reason, I like Magnum Opus better with Nasir because you can Test Run it (or, I suppose, SMC it). MO is more consistent, provided you have the memory. I'd say test with Indexing more and see if you're confident that it's worth two spots. If it's sitting in your hand until you get Kati/your rig, then it might be better as something else. I haven't built your deck yet @Pinkwarrior, so I can't say for sure.

@CJFM let me know how you find it after building it i haven't had chance to play this version more than once yet since i made it, so id be interested to know your findings plus another persons experience is always welcomed.
