This deck is 5-0 in games that I won with it.

In some of those games, I made obscene amounts of money and felt very good about myself.

NASX is so much more than a PAD Campaign that sometimes gets blanked by Rumor Mill.

It's also a PAD Campaign that occasionally allows you to click for 20 that gets blanked by Rumor Mill.

Putting credits on the New Angeles Stock Exchange and hoping the runner doesn't trash it is a good way to lose money. But thanks to the other stock exchange, you don't have to.

Indian Union Stock Exchange lets you trigger NASX lots of times on your turn, so that way you can trash it before the runner even gets to run again.

A more conservative but very nice turn would be:

  • Start the turn with IUSE installed.
  • Click 1: Install NASX. Rez it. Gain 1 from IUSE and put 2 on NASX.
  • Click 2: Play Hedge Fund. Gain 1 from IUSE and put 2 on NASX. Gain 1 from Hedge and put 2 on NASX.
  • Click 3: Play Subliminal Messaging. Gain 1 from IUSE and put 2 on NASX. Gain 1 from Subliminal and put 2 on NASX.
  • Extra click from Subliminal Messaging: Trash NASX for 20. In this situation, you cashed in your NASX for a net of 8. Not bad.

But things can get much more silly. What if you had two IUSEs installed at the start of the turn? What about three? What if NASX was already on the table at the start of the turn? What if they ran last click and you were able to rez a Pop-up Window, triggering IUSE and activating NASX twice?

The answer to all those questions is: It would be ridiculous. Jumping to 60 credits out of nowhere is not unheard of.

Is this deck the best use of NASX? It is out of Custom Biotics so you know the answer is probably no. Haas-Bioroid: Engineering the Future and Weyland Consortium: Building a Better World both might be more reliable ways to trigger it. Maybe you could do something with Turtlebacks and Shipment from MirrorMorph?

But my testing says this: if you build a deck that can gain credits lots of individual times in one turn, you can do gross things with this weird Pad Campaign.

Sandburg?? Isn't that what you want with all that money?

BABW is pretty legit. Especially since any transaction you play gets you a nasx trigger.

Subliminals is a pretty good idea. I will have to try that in my BABW brew right now. Getting 10 credits out of a NASX sounds pretty sweet.

Hey! I played against you on Jinteki a few days back. I was running that Andy deck that I shamelessly 'borrow' from Metropole Andre with supplier/sifr/Aaron Marron, etc.. I really liked this deck :) You made some scandalous money with NASX. Great to see an underutilised ID being given some attention.

@rwknoll Sandburg is a really good suggestion (which even has some minor synergy with Indian Union Stock Exchange). I should have thought of it! I haven't played with a lot of Sandburg lists so it wasn't at the forefront of my mind when I was building... good illustration of how it helps to netdeck a little if you want to build good decks of your own.

@MikeJS I remember! I really appreciated playing against you. I don't remember if I won, but I do remember you were appreciative of the shenanigans I was up to, which made me feel like a winner regardless.

My only question is why are there 3 GFI? It seems like a money and FA deck. I have difficulty imagining that you play 3 in order to try to rush a 3/5 agenda in the beginning of the game. And otherwise, the 3rd would just be strictly better as an NAPD if you just never plan on scoring anything other than 2/3's.

26 Jan 2017 Sanjay

@Hari It's a fair question. I figure I want to have a GFI in hand when I'm going for the win, either through rushing one out early if the moment presents itself or though a late game play like either never advancing one + 2 Biotic Labors or, sometimes, some combination of Vitruvius tokens and Biotic Labors to fast advance it.

I didn't want the runner to get all my GFIs easily, especially because scoring one is the main way I get to 7 points.

If you've got all that money, couldn't your ice suite be a bit more expensive? Or Midseasons followed by Psychographics?

@Sanjay Are neutral cards consisted out of faction?? I didn't know that!

27 Jan 2017 Sanjay

@Dassie Biggest reason probably personal preference. Not a huge fan of Midseasons. But also I didn't want the deck to just fold if I didn't get super rich.

@codychilton13 Yeah! Isn't that wild? Makes Enforcing Loyalty more exciting too!
