Postmodernism

My Weyland deck that I play on jinteki.net. I've tried to find another corp I enjoy as much, but at the moment there isn't one. I've honed it a fair bit, and it's pretty unpleasant, but it's definitely very beatable by a skilled runner with a solid economy. Its wins are about 50/50 death to scoring, but in every case the threat of one enables the other.

The plan here is a take on the old skool Supermodernism archetype. You want to score worryingly fast while threatening the kill. It's way more taxing than those decks used to be though, and you can sometimes win by building a glacier and playing the long game.

Card notes

Blue Sun is still a good ID. It doesn't need gimmicks. Bouncing campaigns for infinite cash and never-advance bluffs is good. Rezzing disproportionately expensive ice because you know you can bounce it to stay solvent is good. Bouncing smaller ice because it gives you those few vital credits to land Hard-Hitting News is good.

Economic Warfare gives Hard-Hitting News an enormous threat range, creates scoring windows and is generally extremely upsetting for the runner.

Bryan Stinson is good (shocking I know), but he's not your main focus so I think one copy is the right number. Slots are absurdly tight in this build.

Hailstorm is questionable, but it's a project card, so here's my defense: Being Blue Sun mitigates the price tag, and sometimes that front sub is a very nasty surprise. I've fried more than one Black Orchestra with it. Also, Pirate Hayley runs LARLA and a bunch of breakers that really don't want to see a second sub, so there's that.

IP Block is the new Eli 1.0. It's just excellent. Plus I really hate the Turtle

Zealous Judge does a bunch of work in this deck. It turns Mausolus into a monstrous threat, and it creates a fork with Hard-Hitting News. On jinteki.net, you have to train yourself to click at precisely the right moment to rez it after the runner has cleared 3 HHN tags. Then you can let them take back their fourth click because they were just hammering the button.

Scarcity of Resources is probably the strongest candidate in the deck for 'card I should have another copy of'. It's just really good. Plays to the deck's taxing strengths, and gives counterplay against runner currents, many of which are quite upsetting.

Best Defense is the card you could cut for the second Scarcity. It's often worthless, but it's sometimes devastating. Obviously its favourite target is Misdirection, but Bookmark, Off-Campus Apartment and sometimes Same Old Thing are all examples of other good targets. I hear it interacts with tags in some way too, but I've never been in a position to verify this.

Reversed Accounts is a vital bluff/fork play. Whether the runner runs it or not, it can be invaluable in setting up either a scoring window or a kill.

Armed Intimidation is on probation. It used to be a Corporate Sales Team, which was very nice. The Intimidation has done some good work though, and crucially, it's much cooler.
