...but I really hope it won't. While discussing esutter479's Chronos Protocol deck, the idea of a Weyland deck leaning on Genetics Pavilion to stick kills popped into my head. Here's my first attempt.

Titan Transnational: 17 influence seemed like a good start when one of the core cards costs 5 influence; this left 12 for NBN tagging, which was exactly what I wanted. The identity informs a lot of the deck, which I think will work out better in the end.

Agendas: Oaktown Renovation is a natural fit when Casting Call is one of my tagging methods. It's also just great. Helium-3 Deposit is ugly when combined with Data Raven, my other tagging method. Project Atlas and High-Risk Investment for obvious reasons.

Assets: Executive Boot Camp and Tech Startup are there to pull Genetics Pavilion out of my deck. GP is the experiment; will rezzing this give me the space I need to blast through the runner's defenses? At the very least it creates an incredibly taxing run when combined with the ICE. Mark Yale and PAD Campaign for money and taxing (although the PADs could be something else).

Operations: Not going to go over all the choices, but money, tagging and damage. Interns is there to refresh GP, and Snatch and Grab to please god keep Film Critic off the field.

ICE: Big, taxing barriers at variable strengths, and otherwise ICE that can be paid for with either s or s. Data Raven is the exception, and in combination with Helium-3 Deposits and Wormholes will hopefully end up with some power counters. Assassin is also an experiment but I don't feel comfortable playing Weyland without at least 3 unique pieces of scary ICE.

Any comments or suggestions are welcome. If you give this a try let me know!

If I were playing this deck, I'd likely cut the Helium-3 Deposits and add an additional Oaktown Renovation and Project Atlas. I don't think I have to explain how good those two cards are, and with Helium-3 requiring the card to already have power counters, it's not superb with Data Raven.

I'd also probably remove a Casting Call for one copy of SEA Source. The deck is fairly transparent in how it tags, and you don't want to be so obvious that the runner can just play around the tags since they're all visible. That's personal preference, though; the runner has to get through to your Casting Called agendas eventually!

This looks pretty cool, FarCry. :) Let's get the word out on Genetics Pavilion! Oh, and, uh...down with Film Critic, too! :)

@marioware2 I don't seem to be having much trouble getting a single power counter on one of the three Data Ravens. I even used the trace to dodge an Account Siphon, which earned me a pretty powerful glare. I'm liking the Helium-3 Deposits for now; the tag-at-will is just really nice. It's basically a Sword of Damocles on the runner's neck. A single DR counter causes some seriously erratic play on the other side of the table, and three causes sad puppy eyes. It's delightful. The major drawback is that 4/2s are just that little bit harder to score, and that's the only reason I'd see switching them out in this specific deck.

One Casting Call for one SEA Source is the right call. I wanted to see CC a lot because I've yet to test it in Weyland, but after I get a feel for it this switch seems natural.
