Startup is rotating soon and I have been brewing this for a while, so it looks like a good time to publish my first deck.
I started off with Andrej's Coffee and Code deck which he shows and explains in this great video. This Az deck is powered by Masterwork, Prognostic Q-Loop and Cezve.
Most important change I made is how to spend the influence. I did keep the twinning and the paladin. But as Andrej pointed out at some point, Simulchip was just a left over of a previous version and Mantle is unnecessary. Triggering qloop during the corp's turn to charge up twinning is cute, but too situational to be worth a slot. You might be able to pull it off with the paladin anyway, although that's just for the show, this isn't our gameplan.
I'm not sure what was the point of Hyperbaric, Cat's Cradle is good enough for our needs and we need the influence for Khusyuk. This is our win condition so we splash 3 of them. Our goal is to install a lot of 2 cost cards. And we have many. And we're usually installing them clicklessly, at a bargain and paying with recuring credits. Just watch the Metropol Grid's video if you want to understand this engine. We're switching our fracter to Corroder for one more 2 coster. Oh, and we have one influence left. Let's see, Scrubber triggers Az, costs 2, feeds Twinning and is often useful in the asset heavy meta. Sold.
The rest is mostly fine tuning. For slots, I cut a Mutual Favor, the PAN-Weave, a Prognostic Q-Loop, a Red Team and a Class Act. PAN-Weave was a bit underwhelming for me, the damage is often awkward, and the effect a bit situational. I'd rather have a second Docklands Pass. I also added an Inside Job, and with the 3 Khusyuk, it seemed right to add a second Prepaid VoicePAD.
We mulligan for Cezve or Masterwork. Cezve is really useful to our economy. Games when you draw your first one late are tough. Off-shoring our economy on Cezve can be a very nice way to dodge NBN economic denial ices. Spend your real money to install stuff with masterworks and qloop, then encounter the ice at 0 creds and break it with boomerang or cezve's credits.
We don't have any recursion, so be careful with the breakers. Losing one isn't the end of the world though, boomerangs are a good alternative.
