Always Be Running with the Devil

Formerly Adam's Song - Adam Rush This is about my 8th iteration depending on how you keep track of them.

I've long considered the stealth route for code gates, but becoming better with Dr. Lovegood use, I believe I'm ready to commit (spending ghosts on trashing blows, and you must if you can). Finally caving to the datasuckers and fixies, but keeping overmind and stimhack as a safety net against breaker trash.

I've cut the recursion because losing a breaker is by no means the end of the world. I also went lighter on the stimhacks because I'm less reliant on boostable breakers. You can still stimhack out overmind or whatever early, but the answers now are much cheaper so it's fine.

I had 3 legwork again and it was totally awesome, but I've found that it's definitely just a "nice to have." Now just pounding HQ and RnD often enough suffices. 1 can be a fine include as it helps close out vs HBFA, but is risky with NAT.

The gameplan is simple, and yet very nuanced. Constantly trigger your draw ability while keeping cash up, but always, always be running. I typically have 2-4 points by turn 3, and that fuels the brain chip, which gets me tricks to close out the game.

The nuance comes in spending down cash correctly, Lovegood'ing the right card, knowing when and where to run. Sometimes I'll bluff a scoring window by going broke, just to jam overmind and stimhack to pick up point number 6, then its no time to point 7. The name of the game is rush the corp. I've won several games eating program trash to get to 6, then using ABR on TME to close out the game. Consider this option.

Next iteration is in testing, but its quite different, so this 'stable' build is what I'm running with now. Next iteration features d4v1d and other shenanigans, simply for testing.
