[Startup] Why score when core

NotAgain 1425

Can we please make viable borehole deck? "We have borehole at home." Borehole at home:

Borehole gives too much positive tempo to the runner. What if Borehole actually made life difficult for the runner instead of making them money?

As a PE enjoyer, I was sad when a lot of the good cards for my stingy startup deck were rotating out. But then came Thule Subsea: Safety Below. Purple is the new PE (not really). Tax the runner out until they go negative grip or end up broke running too much. Spread your ice around R&D and a remote with Keeling. Plonk a few Hendriks down and we are good to go.

Once that server is set up, we simply need to wait till the runner crashes into some sweet core damage. Heck, naked install agendas (or Marilyns & Nicos) if it is mid game with Keeling ticking away; it makes the runner lose clicks if they run naked agendas which helps us with more Hendrik triggers. Nightmare Archive helps a lot with doing some risky plays as on a good day, the runner needs 9 points to win (10 if it's a REALLY good day).

Harmonic ice is taxing enough for the runner to break, especially Bloop. Wave the Bloop and score agendas while the runner is distracted from running the chonky remote.

Light the Fire! destroying your assets? Win - win since we needed core damage anyway. Sad the root of my server got trashed though.

Anyway here's a second copy of Keeling and spin doctored hendriks, run it back.

Pinhole Threadingtrashing the Keelhole? Here's a second copy and a third and potentially a 4th, 5th and 6th.

What? Suddenly there's 6 points in my scoring area while you were worried about Keeling? Oh well, here is a 0/2. Gg! See ya later.
