Eko the Overmind

PirateWalrus 7

An idea - to build a huge full hand so ekomind is worthwhile and applying that to overmind / sage,

Possible problems with using a burst economy since this empties your hand. Might need to reconsider economy, although kati, along with proco to avoid drawing being a drain, should serve to replace sure gamble and lucky find.

It's probably quite vulnerable to being decked. And it may need Levy AR along with a SOT.

Leprechaun, if it can be drawn out first should help keep memory usage down. Hoping trade in can be used if eko or e3 is a struggle to pull out along with some of the other cheap to install hardware. Clone chips serve a dual purpose in being trade-in-able and also refreshing overmind.

SMC is a temporary hit to memory usage - shouldn't ever diminish enough to prevent install/ permanently weaken

To get your hand size soaring, diesel and earthrise (unreleased) are included.

As mentioned I'm unsure about the economy. Or even if this deck works. Frankly I'll be giving it a go, even if it's complete rubbish.

I like it: did you consider any other IDs or even factions for this setup?

Well sort of. Started out as an idea to use ekomind and sage, which meant I primarily considered anarch and shaper. However I settled on using leprechaun to minimize MU usage and wanted to use borrowed satellite to maximize opportunities to gain hand size (without origami since it defeats the point unless it's hosted which is a pain in the bum). So settled on a shaper.

Considered the various shaper ids and whilst I considered kit, because sage, CT had better synergy. Besides I like the deck size.

I saw this deck earlier and left a comment there which mostly applies to your deck as well:

Ah.. good point. One I hadn't thought of. Swordsman hasn't really appeared in the group I play with.

Spent some time thinking about this a few days ago on the train and came to the conclusion I want to include creeper for just this sort of thing. Not an awesome solution, but the link/mu condition fits, along with borrowed satellite. I figured other things out too so I'll be making a revised version of the deck shortly. So fickle.

@pastorn FYI I have attempted to resolve the swordsman issue in the revised deck here netrunnerdb.com

I think that a Sage-Chameleon build could be more effective. While sage requires just 1 Dinosaurus to be 8 strength, Overmind will require you to have also PS/BS/ and then Ekomind. Seems a little bit too slow to work, but I may be wrong! With Chameleon you can use it as a sentry breaker and let do Sage + E3 the rest of the work. Replace ekomind with some suckers and it should be ok, I guess Also, I don't think that Lucky find without prepaid is worth 6 influence
