Basically just a modern version of Homeless Kasparov, including two very cool additions from Data & Destiny: Wasteland and Technical Writer. I've also selected a breaker suite I'm more comfortable with.

Short Explanation:

  • Have Deep Red installed and a Pawn in your heap.

  • Have any combination of Scheherazade, Wasteland, Technical Writer installed. Multiple copies encouraged.

  • Install a second (or third?) Pawn on a single-iced server.

  • Make successful runs, allowing you to swap your Pawns and trigger all of the nice effects, such as: Draw 1 card, Gain 1 credit, Gain 1 credit, Place 1 credit that you gain later...

  • Be rich

I'm wondering whether I should replace one or two Ladies with Snowball for the added late-game consistency. If the engine works as intended, money should hardly be a problem, so I can afford the extra cost, methinks. Remains to be tested.

You could replace 2 Deep Red with Tyson Observatories to free up influence. They're also useful for finding clutch Clone Chips or set up the R&D lock. The free influence could be used for Parasite or even Faust. Since you draw cards like a madman, why not pitch extra garbage to cheaply break gearchecks?

@pang4 I mean, that would be two influence for no change to the time needed to find Deep Red but with a massive tempo hit (3 clicks, 2 creds). I don't really feel the need to get a slightly better breaker if it comes with a potentially heavy hit to my tempo (which the inclusion of Tyson would be)
