Forcing the Hand - v2

Please see Derived From for more basic-theory notes.

This v2 comes out after 3 games, which went 2-1. (Although the two wins were semi-free - given I was playing a hard counter to the Corp's Harmony Medtech deck - if you're reading this - sorry mate) Having made considerations, here we go again...

List of changes:

+2 Inside Job

+1 Compromised Employee

+1 Tri-maf Contact

+2 Decoy

+2 Kati Jones

+2 Clone Chip

-2 The Supplier

-2 Early Bird

-1 Corroder

-1 Parasite

Reasons for changes:

• Why take out The Supplier? Well - after playing some games with it, I really just never felt in a position where playing it would advance my game more than either making runs or taking quick cash. I even had it in opening hands - and it just didn't feel right.

• The extra Compromised Employee and Tri-maf Contact are just a small boon to Calling in Favors and economy generally. These obviously combo perfectly with The Supplier - but again, it just felt way more natural to simply play these out instead of playing a slower game

• Now the addition of Kati Jones does slow down the game - but not really. The main thing Kati-bucks are used for is getting out Blackguard and late game dollars. Besides that, clicking Kati doesn't seem to work, and Tri-maf Contact seems to work a little better.

• Use of Inside Job instead of Early Bird is mainly due to the way you can bust into a remote with it sometimes, especially with a Parasite + Datasucker surprise. Would have been able to take a game today if I had it, but of course, I didn't.

• Calling in Favors gives me an average of 5-7 credits per play. It's pretty insane, and throws the Corp off in a giant way. (Money calculation wise)

• Also on the note of having 42 cards - it's not a big deal. Seriously, it's not.

Current considerations for addition:

• Underworld Contact - but I'd need a way to get 2 link. If I wasn't hell-bent on making Blackguard work I'd say The Toolbox - but I don't think it's going to happen

• Data Dealer - it's a connection, and it would be hilarious against Jinteki Shi-Kyu and the like. Also Domestic Sleepers, and any other 1 point agenda I can afford to toss. Not unique either, so I can install multiple as fuel for Calling in Favors.

• A better icebreaker suite. I like the centrals, but it is prohibitive. I'm considering a non-central Decoder, because then very ICE can simply play keep out on a remote. Rototurret would still get destroyed - because of Parasite, and I'd probably have force-rezzed it already.

• Something like Lemuria Codecracker or Satellite Uplink or anything that just...exposes. being able to get rid of corp-bucks without making 'the first HQ run' runs would be nice.

I'm nowhere near done tinkering with this deck, and will probably have a v3 out by the end of the week - after more playtesting.
