Panic in the Disco

CJFM 2270

Double Biotic out EC. Score a 5/3 with double shipment. Biotic a 3/2. Reuse after Panicking to keep cash high, tossing ICE you don't need. Panic Button is amazing to find the cards you want. This deck can win fast.

why architect? I feel you have a very slim chance of the runner running last click, having to breaker in order to fire your architest to hope to see an agenda you can put down. You don't want many pieces of ice on the table because you want to reuse for money, so installing ice also is a no-no(maybe from archives, maybe) but then again, it has to fire.

Also, blue level is amazing so try to squeeze the third one in(maybe drop a green level).

-2 architect, +1 ichi 1.0, +1 BLC, -1 GLC, +1 Vik2.0?

This is by no means the most tuned version of the deck, so what you're suggesting for ICE could definitely be better. I like Viktor a LOT in this deck, and it is probably best to just go up to 3. Architect is surprisingly annoying after a Reuse, but it doesn't keep them out. They also might just have a mimic. Maybe just a 1-of is enough as a surprise. Getting some free ICE installed after you've reused them is like an Interns that could work multiple times (I usually put it on RND).

Also, I don't agree that the runner has to run last click to get value out of Architect. If you DO end up setting up an agenda, good on you. That's not why it's in here. It works fine to grab ICE or a Panic Button, or to set up a biotic'd Beta Test. That said, it doesn't end the run, so it might need to be cut down or just cut out because of that fact. I agree with your point that you want to reuse the ICE. This might come down to how the deck is played: only panic button after you've got about 2-deep on the centrals.

Here's my rationale for not using the third BLC. Blue Level is a fine card, but it got cut for the third Green Level because of the abundance of doubles in this deck already. Getting stuck with too many in hand means you're likely to be unable to play cards, especially early on. It's much smoother to Celeb Gift into Green Level. Or to Green Level into Reuse after a Panic Button HQ run. That's my rationale for the 2x Blue Level. So far, I haven't been bothered to want to run the third, but you might be right.

I think I might play Ichi 1, though. Good suggestions @BJester! :)
