Endless Drain

Diogene 4245

IMPROVED VERSION : https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/68019/consistent-education

Straightforward Reeducation/Neurospike list. The twist it that it aim to score Bellona behind Endless EULA.

The plan is to flatline the runner through the Reeducation combo. To get it done in two turns, you install-advance-advance Reeducation and next turn, use Seamless Launch-advance to score, leaving you a click free to Neurospike the runner.

Otherwise, scoring Bellona behind one or two Endless EULA makes it a very expensive proposition for any runner. The sentries are just there to grind the runner's credits.

Pop-up Window and Tiered Subscription will let you get credits easily, while costing ressources to the runner.

Sprint and Spin Doctor, coupled with Rashida Jaheem, will let you get your combo pieces faster. Sprint is really good for that.

Just to remind you, your combo is Reeducation + Seamless Launch + Neurospike.

I tried NGO Front but it did not do so much good and it slowed the deck. Same goes for Reversed Accounts, which was great but slowed the deck.

Your aim is to flatline the runner. The alternative is to score 15 Minutes and Bellona. I wanted 15 Minutes exactly for that, since it is easy to score and easy to "defend".

The weakness is Reeducation, because that is a 3 points agenda with NO defences or cost for the runner.

For the ID, just always select Event, unless you are sure. This will get you an average of 1 per turn. Making Azmari EdTech: Shaping the Future just like Pālanā Foods: Sustainable Growth. This is equivalent to have around 10 credits per game.

It is a work in progress, because I am not sure about the ice suite. Tollbooth is too expensive (this is why it is not in there), and there are not ETR ices other than Enigma. Endless EULA can be passed with just . It does protect Bellona very well.

Comments are appreciated.

Cheers.

Would Echo chamber not be better than 15 mins?

Looks cool,@Diogene!

6 of your 15 ice are mainly tag-based ice, but your deck doesn't have any cards that punish tags besides (sort of) Predictive Planogram. In this setup, I think Tithe or Palisade or Vanilla might be more effective than Turnpike or F2P for supporting an early Rashida and eventually a early/mid Reeducation.

F2P is great if your deck forces runners to need key cards in play, but you only have 3 Enigmas for an unconditional end the run and your win condition absolutely requires at least one double-advanced agenda to survive the turn. All of your other ice either don't end the run or can be paid through. If you do need F2P, I think Tollbooth complements it better than Endless EULA or other ice that can be passed without any cards in play.

Vanilla: your killer combo (install-advance-advance Reeducation, advance-Seamless-Neurospike) costs 7 credits and requires 3 specific cards. You have 12 cards for card draw (Sprint/Spin Doctor/Predictive Planogram/Rashida), which makes me wonder if the combo might be achievable early enough for Vanilla to be valuable.

Endless EULA: seems more likely to cause a budgetary crisis for you than the runner. Endless EULA looks like it'll probably be a huge budget hit for something that only ends a run and doesn't require them to find a breaker. You're not running bluffs, and they only need 2-3 scores to win depending on if they find Mad Dash in time so it seems unlikely that Endless EULA will buy you enough time to set back 2-3 runs.

@Baa Ram Wu: "Would Echo Chamber be better than 15 minutes?" I'm not super confident the ice suite gives a viable path to 7 agenda points, and personally I'd test a variant without either 15 Minutes or Echo Chamber. However, of the two options, I'd prefer 15 Minutes because it can be scored out of hand and because for most of the game the shuffle-back option will be viable. Personally, the only scenario where I'd rather have selected Echo Chamber rather than 15 Minutes if they are already on 6 agenda points and I'm not, but otherwise 15 Minutes' ability to shuffle back into deck is pretty stellar.

it doesn't seem like you have enough ETR ice - you're scoring behind an enigma and endless EULA?

maybe add ping, drop turnpike?
