I'll say this straight, but this is a pretty weak archetype, the whole 'I get to play currents' - Spark is better, Sync is better - but this is WAY funnier.

Basically, unless you have critical unlucky in your life - you'll draw a Manhunt - then it exists forever. Then, unless the runner is ultra rich - you get to enjoy beating them up with tags - and eventually you can either Keegan Lane programs out, All-Seeing I resources out, or just scorch. Data Raven and Gutenberg also offer good, fun options for giving tags.

You can in theory score out with some luck. You've also got some good old fashioned SanSan to just Astro train - if you get lucky.

Just you know - pray they don't have Paper Tripping.

@Softman25 Well I've played this ID a fair bit and I disagree about it been a strikly worse ID. It's actually quite strong, I am running Paywall Implementation & Predictive Algorithm both of which are powerful on their own but when you cant turn them off even by making the crop poor suddenly you got some power. Also where's the News Hound it's really strong with a current & a no brainier really with this ID.

I do however agree with Keegan Lane him and Data Raven / Gutenberg alone are amazingly strong. Quantum Predictive Model seems really strong too sadly can only fit one in my deck.

The problem is that almost everything you could want to do with this ID can be done with others.

If you want to tagstorm, you can MN, Sync or Haarps.

If you want to go kill, you go classic NEH Butcher with maybe some updated cards from DND

If you want to go economy, you can play NEH and go with assets - good draw is always fantastic.

If you want to play in the runner's face, you go Spark.

It's the oldest joke as I see it - you sit there as Sol just slightly less efficient doing whatever it is you are doing.

@Softman25 I am not doing any of that with the ID for those very reasons. I went glacial with the up side of fast advance built in. So far it's shown alot of promise using Keegan Lane with Data Raven to wreck their rig on the way in your fast advance and threat of make them use their Clone Chip's.

RSVP works with Predictive Algorithm to stop agendas getting stolen Ash 2X3ZB9CY helps me their 2.

I think the problem is your trying to fit it into an arch type thats already their rather than looking at it as a new one. I mean what is the point in making 3 new ID's that all use the same arch type you may as well just leave it alone.

I can definitely see what you're saying, that's quite a bit to think about.

I'll have to try reapproach the idea from a different angle.
