Adam Be Thy Name

This is my take at making a new Adam deck post rotation.

I've been playing this on Jnet and been having decent wins so far, against some pre rotation and some post rotation.

Start with player interaction, Knowing RND, and don't forget HQ In your opening hand you want give the Corp some choices too. One a central first turn and then play this if you can, 2's even better. This allows you to either start setting up your econ or if the corp looses credits you can probably run stuff without hitting any sacary ice.

Apply pressure with always be running for a couple of turns while drawing or getting econ set up. Once they have multiple ice, play some thinking get rid of cards like find the truth and always be running to draw lots of cards so you can get your programs and you can now play this. Get eqivication down and run RND and HQ, getting multi access from Neutralize All Threats or force them to draw cards you dont want too see. Worreid about Hunter Seeker or other program trashing from stealing agendas? Don't, thats why there are other directives in the deck. Always be running

This deck encourages interaction between the corp and runner, as Adam runs a lot, and applies pressure early so the corp has to react intead of slow rolling cheap tricks. It's been performing decently lately on Jinteki, not the best deck, but that's just Adam I guess.. If you have some suggestions let me know! :D

Pretty nice deck, I think. But in my opinion Chameleon and Overmind is quite useless here ... what about to put Magic Turtle in? It`s pumped quite fast if you are starting with AbR... :o) So for me: -1 Chameleon, -2 Overmind ..&.. +1 Aumakua, +1 Special Order, +1 "anything you want"

... and maybe +1 Na'Not'K -1 Mongoose ... and that +1 "anything you want" could be Datasucker! :o)

yeah thats a good suggestion, really not sure why I didn't put the turtle in over the chameleon.
I considered Na'Not'K, felt like Mongoose was better, as it is a little cheaper. Havne't played much of Na'Not though, to know if its better. Might slot it in and give a it a try.

The overmind was more for density of programs as well, cheap plays if you have an agenda or two and can put down Brainchip

But nice suggestions, thanks, gonna test the deck out more with them and see how it goes.

Been trying Na'Not'K in CT. As a killer in Shaper for no influence it's fine, but as Adam you're paying influence for a killer regardless, and you have better options. Mongoose is good, I like Shrike since it's good against the things that ABR will have trouble with.
