BANKING IS FUN!

BTrain 2971

Get money get paid.

Let's get real: you want that sweet, dirty cash and you want it now. If you're looking to play low-econ Trick of Light games, piling piddly little tokens on your ice and pulling cutesy butterfly ballet moves to get them on your agendas, you've come to the wrong neighborhood. This deck is in the business of printing credits, and bull-rushing a path to 7 points.

Titan's enlisted help from the new bad boy of I-Banking, Mark Yale and this cutthroat, college-educated son of a bitch puts mom and dad's degree money to crazy good use. Score out a Firmware Updates, say "Oh hi, Mark" and pocket 8 easy credits the first go-round. Do it again to get 9. Then give Mark a pink slip and send that yuppie packing for another 2 credits in the coffers. GODDAMMIT BANKING IS FUN.

Runner's f***ing with your servers? Figured. So we're gonna get cosmic up in here and start dropping some space bombs on their ass. First let's get us a Builder because we love money and this sexy little freak more than pays for itself the first time you rez it. Slap those tasty advancements on Asteroid Belt, Wormhole, or even Orion and rez that hotness on the cheap. Need a strength boost to really start taxing those Eater/Keyholes? Put 'em on a Fire Wall for a strength boost and get your servers on lock. This is YOUR house.

Then there's our madman, the Architect. You want to talk about mileage? How about double Biotic Laboring, advancing and scoring a 5/3 that the runner was kind enough to install for you on their turn? How about protecting that precious Project Atlas that gets your Points Train chugga-chuggin' full steam towards Winsville? In a deck that needs its first Atlas even more than NEH needs its first Astroscript, Architect is going to get you out of a lot of tight scrapes. And even when it doesn't, it taxes.

And we just mentioned it, but we're mentioning it again: the all-star, cocaine-fueled, beast-mode-activating gloriousness that is Biotic Labor. This card is your win condition if not for the ability to score an Atlas out of hand, then for its sheer flexibility. Need some money before you drop the hammer with Punitive Counterstrike? Biotic, pop two Restructures and get to the killing. BANKING. IS SO. FUN.

Damn. Colour me impressed. I know it comes down to a matter of preference, but I think your deck could benefit from replacing an Enigma with a Checkpoint. I keep dreaming about a runner grabbing an agenda after passing it, only to get hit by Punitive Counterstrike the next turn. Anyway, solid deck!

Let's Advance ICE and do nothing with those advances after that !! That sounds fucking optimal !! :D

I would definitely not invest my money in a bank, if you were the owner ...

Honestly, at least get Commercialization .... it is in faction and it wouldn't render those tokens absolutely useless.

Ooops you have Constellation Protocol ... that's something at least :D
