EtF: Turtleback Bioroid Spam v1.3

HyveMynd 57

An update of an old deck I had decent success with in the past. Looking for deedback,

During testing today I had a pair of Turtlebacks and Team Sponsorships on the table, and did some really stupid stuff when I score an agenda. I triple advanced to score a Project Vitruvius with my last 3, installed an Advanced Assembly Lines and another Turtlebacks from Archives making 5, rezzed the Assembly lines for a net of 2 more, trashed the Assembly Lines to install another asset from HQ for another 3. That took me from 0 up to 10 all at the end of my turn. Ridiculous.

Over all the ICE suite performed well. My opponent clicked through the Bioriods fairly often, eating a lot of their turn. I lost a few agendas that way but was able to recover. One thing I forgot though, is that it doesn't matter what strength a Bioroid is if the Runner clicks through. So while I usually had lots of credits, Sandburg was a dead card. I'm going to find a replacement Asset.

As I didn't use either Jackson Howards even once, I'm going bold and swapping those 2x cards for Executive Boot Camp. They will allow me to dig up important assets (like SanSan City Grid) when I want them, and let me to rez my assets for a discount. I could also use the Boot Camp to rez another Bioroid cheaply to turn Ravana 1.0 on. I'm also swapping out 2x Sandburg for 2x Lakshmi Smartfabrics. (I rather stupidly realized mid-game ICE strength means nothing when the runner clicks thru. Duh.) The deck rezzes a lot of cards and runs three copies of three different agendas. All of those agendas are only 2-pointers, meaning it would only be two Lakshmi counters to reveal a copy. That should help keep my agendas safe, even with clock through Bioroids.

I'm still feeling this one out, so feedback and comments would be much appreciated. Maybe I should go with a NEXT ICE suite and throw the Sandburgs back in, or find space for a Diversified Portfolio or a few Shipment from MirrorMorphs to really abuse the credit-making mechanic. Cheers.

Ha, good catch @salkidu. SanSan City Grid is an upgrade. Duh. :) Did you have any other comments other than pointing out my mistake?
