Baba Andy

I have been obsessed with Baba Yaga since it came out (as many have seen lately on jinteki.net). I thought Shapers were the faction to go for their customizations of programs, but after playing the old man, the girl of the month (a lot of fun with Switchblade!) and with the one and only Katya (some similar version to what I posted here: netrunnerdb.com ). Then I realized I should drop slow and durable economy for crazy draw if I wanted to setup in time for doing anything. Granted, I cut through big ice like butter (DNA Tracker for a couple of creds!) but it took ages and FA was hard AF. Time to switch to Criminal and call my old rich girl friend.

She draws 1/5 of the deck on the first hand, and her expensive taste of hotels and parties ensure you to go through your deck more than one time in not so much time. Sometimes I levy half way through it when I have my suite, when I fear nasty tricks.

CARDS Apart from the criminal basics (temujin, inside job, HQI, special order, career fair) I added many singletons of silverbullets that are versatile:

Drive By: I always use it. Always. I don't think I have ever thought "oh no, not this now" when drawing it. zero creds and get rid of whatever. only downside is Jinteki with Psychic Field, but then you focus on double installs (is that your Caprice Niseinext to your agenda?) or for advanced cards (let me check that's not a Project Junebug...). In any case, it also has good combos with Interdiction so great.

NACH + Film Critic + The Source are a must in the current meta, and I also add some CtM hate and Jinteki Gear.

Sacrificial Construct has become like a brother to me, protecting my grandma from all those evil Corps.

SUITE Baba with Faerie, Inti, Passport, and Sharpshooter costs 7 credits to install (less than half a Temujin) and breaks very cheap (sentries the best!).

CODEGATES: DNA Tracker: pump 3 times with sharpshooter + 3 subs 6creds. Not bad for a mean one. Tollbooth costs 1 more because of its annoying 3 creds, but 7 is not so bad for the big yellow. Small ones like Enigma (2creds on central, 3 creds on remote), Yagura (2) or Quandary (1). Sure there's some that cost more, but there's also Little Engine for 1 :)

BARRIERS: Eli (4), Vanilla (1), Bailiff (1), Fire Wall (4)... and on the upper side Heimdall 2.0 (7) Curtain Wall at 10 str, 8creds. Since many times you have Temujin waiting at the other side, you can accumulate enough money to run and pressure often.

SENTRIES: here is the fun part. Rototurret are free, Cobra is 1cred, Architect or Ichi 1.0 are 2creds to break. but Big Ichi is only 3creds (like Gutenberg on R&D) and Orion and Janus 1.0 are 4!! (BREAK-GASM when you smash Archer for 3...).

Box-E because I like to have space with all the draw, and also it's good for staying alive.

Could change The Source for Clot since you have the MU, but I find the first one more reliable and pressure early game, and then recyclable if trashed when you levy. I am happy with the victories I'm getting. Only time I suffered was with a Turing on remote, but then you pressure centrals like crazy. Swordsman will take your Sharpshooter but not your Baba Yaga, so it can be played around (also Sacrificial Construct !).

Hope you like this. Love to have feedback!
