NBN Economics and Advance

2017-10-17

Lost vs Anarchs (Maxx) - Justin did a great job of combining his viruses for maximum intrusion effect. He used datasucker + yog.0 to break through my tollbooth every time.

Cons

• Caduceus at str 3 is vulnerable to Mimic and other sentry breakers
• Not enough barriers, even if plenty "end the run" on others

Won vs Anarchs (Whizzard) - Daniel was just broke the whole game. I can't say that it was my trace-and-tax strategy. Instead, he just never got the cards he needed.

Cons

• Agendas aren't that great. Trace might be nice to kill a resource, but not awesome. Priority Req is iffy because the ICE is pretty cheap.
• Matrix Analyzer kinda sucks in this deck. Very little can be advanced. Maybe hunter instead?

Lost vs Shapers - Daniel built a perfect counter to this deck, boosting up to a link strength of 5 with a console and globalsec links. At that point, I was fugged. I did manage to use the agenda to trace & tag, then destroyed some of his link strength.

Pros

• PAD campaign is much better than I thought. I should be putting way more of these in my decks. Their high trash cost makes them hard for the runner to hit as well.
• Melange mining is also powerful. I used it once and got 7cr, then trashed to install an agenda. 1 click to install, 1cr to rez, - 4 total clicks, net 6 credits, 7 total clicks net 13. A pretty decent return no matter how you slice it.
• Strong economy, always generating money.
• Trace-based ICE worked as intended

Cons

• Completely destroyed by anyone with a strong link.

Changes

• None so far. I'd run this again and pray for it not to be against high link.
