[Startup] Biotic Labor Is All You Need

Game plan: Don't put an agenda on the board unless you can score it immediately, preferably on a Djupstad Grid, with the help of Biotic Labor. Use PDs ability to recover your biotic Labor and get ready to do it all over again the next turn. Play fast!

Focus your ICE on centrals. Don't be afraid to get low on credits if Bladderwort is on the board or if you have Predictive Planogram in hand.

Causing core damage will be your victory condition. The reliable way is to score an agenda on a Djupstad. Sometimes you get a lucky face check onto Hakarl. Core damage makes Ontological easy to score, and also makes Bladderwort potentially threatening.

Whenever you can derez from Hakarl or Elivagar aim for a spin doctor for extra tempo.

Send a Message will not get scored out. You could sacrifice it early to rez a bran for free, or keep shuffling it around with sprint, Hansei review, and spin doctor. Nightmare archives are good targets for Hansei review as well.

Why Bladderwort? It's money and I don't know what else to spend influence on. In other testing versions of this deck I tried Hostile Architecture with reaper functions, but that felt really slow. I honestly don't mind a runner trashing Bladderwort because it pays for itself on rez, and getting to rez multiple at the same time can often trigger it's ability, which helps with tempo. The calculation is different against Loup, Paricia or scrubber, but if a runner is busy trashing unrezzed assets they won't be setting up their board state while you have time to setup a Djupstad server and find your Biotic Labor.
