Natman

Alsciende 1405

Upstalk: the final frontier. To boldly go where no runner has gone before.

While I was trying to find the icebreakers that are the easiest to pump prior to the encounter, I came upon Atman, the easiest of all : you can't pump it at all. How easy is that? Netrunner is a game of contradictions. If your icebreaker is already at the right strength, you don't have to pump it, right?

By playing Nasir instead of Kate, I can use Personal Workshop to its fullest. No anti-combo with Kate reduction and a huge motivation for mid-run credit-spending!

Everytime the Corp rezzes an ice, it acts like a small Stimhack, fueled by the Corp, without the brain damage. Free run credits! Might as well replace the actual Stimhacks with a Parasite to kill popup & friends.

Dirty Laundry on shallow servers with unrezzed ice. You're almost certain to succeed if your Atmans are right and you'll gain massive amounts of creds.

Obviously, don't empty Kati before a cred reset, but just after.

Test Run for Deus X or Sharpshooter. Clone Chip for Parasite.

Escher on double duty: aligning ice strengths and removing unrezzed ice for your way.

2 problems:

  • You don't want to get tagged with something useful on PW and/or a pile of creds on Kati.

  • Popup-up Window and Paper wall. Not a huge deal.

Something I came up wtih some time ago in a whizzard deck was to use bishop to double the strengths of ice atman can cover. Essentially I was running darwin to cover 0-2 str ice, and atmans at varied strengths, staggered with bishop allowing you to cover ice of all strengths. Something to consider if your intention is to pre-pump breakers. Then you're just adding preposition. Seems pretty tasty.

Parasite seems massively useful in this particular build. Personally, I might be tempted to run with a different console (Grimoire, most probably) just to fit in a second one.

(probably dropping the Kati count by one to make it happen)
