I put Seidr and Rime into a deck and took it to Conts, lol

Testrunning 1237

So this was my corp for EMEA going 3-3 on the day with wins against Esa, Hosh and Tao and losses against Arissana, another Esa and Sable. My runner carried me to a 17th narrowly missing out on the cut.

Despite this not performing as well, I am reasonably happy with it. The plan is to score out as fast as possible. With Teia ice installs are basically cheap, so I wanted to make the most out of it with cheap and midrange ice (1x Attini is the most expensive ice). No use in installing 5 big ice on the remote if you can only afford to rez one or two of them.

Seidr and Surveyor can make the remote impenetrable very quickly. Against Botulus or Hush you maybe need 2 or 3 though. This deck deals really well with Aumakua based rigs and also with the help of La Costa against Hermes. Rime normally has the problem that paying the click and credits to install it on a big server is not worth it even at 0 to rez. A Teia mitigates both of these costs making it an ok ice.

The star of this deck is Bacterial Programming though. A Teia is very draw starved so it is already a natural fit. Not playing any big ice or much net damage means that Send a Message and Fuji are bad anyways. But the real strength is that scoring or having one stolen means that you can often create a timing window through card advantage where you not only can score an agenda (even through RnD-lock) but also keep centrals safe through card manipulation. Scoring Bacterial as your second agenda often means game with this deck.

Between the low agenda density and Bacterial you can often leave centrals very lightly defended as long as they are not on Turtle.
