NBN Supermodernism

Relenzo 63

I have yet to build a competent NBN deck.

I think the motivation behind this deck is sound: if the Runner goes slowly enough to remove every tag, they'll be slow enough that we can score out. If they choose to run tagged, we can make them suffer more than they can bear.

But NBN has so many good cards, I don't know what to pick! There are a few obvious choices for this deck. Data Raven. The new Hard-Hitting News. Scorched Earth. At least 1 copy of Closed Accounts.

But should I be playing more Psycographics? Resistors? Ghost Branch? Archangel? Any of the other dozen pieces of Ice that give tags? At least 1 SEA Source so that they have to worry I might give them a tag on my turn?

Open to suggestions.

My first suggestion would be to pay heed to the MLW. You've over spent by one inf due to your AstroScript Pilot Program being on the list.

@lunchmoneyAstro is not on the new MWL.

Right, I believe they restricted it to one then took off the extra influence.

Resistor will almost always be better than Pachinko. The idea of putting pachinko behind a data raven always sounds nice, but it rarely works out. Raven is often just parasite food. Once the runner goes tag me and pachinko becomes relevant, it's just less necessary.

I was just going by the fact that your list has it's inf reduced by one and there is a little star next to Astro... Needs a bug report, then.

When you edit your deck if you set Tournament Regulations 1.1.1 (After 08-01-2016) it will keep your inf as is on the new MWL ;)

Deck looks ok. I don't like the Launch Campaign - think you'd be better with restructure.

My only other comment - you have called this deck Supermodernism, but it really is not true to that archetype. That deck was defined by its ability to rush whilst threatening kill and using lots of destroyer ice, which your deck doesn't do.

Currently we're in the bizarre period of time where Astro is both limited to 1-of AND on the MWL. This is because it was made unique in the FAQ update (which goes into effect on July 18th, but MWL was changed in the tournament regulations (which goes into effect on August 1st.)

So we are currently in the "GTFO Astro" interim of restriction to 1-of AND costing an influence. On the other hand, Breaking News doesn't cost any influence yet.
