That's a lot of sentries though. How did the Sherlock perform? I always thought it was a bit underwhelming, even though I understand the argument for it not being a Destroyer.

With HB's economy, Pop-Ups are a bit underwhelming also and steer you more towards the pure FA style. I like a second Tollbooth, because usually you have the money to rez it, it has such massive stopping power against 90% of decks and it increases your flexibility for scoring opportunities.

Sherlock puts in work. Everyone around here is running Mimic as their killer these days, so Sherlock is guaranteed to tax clicks, real credits, stealth credits, or D4v1d counters.

I've run 2-3x Tollbooth in Corp decks for a large portion of my ANR life, but so far I'm happier with the Pop-Ups. In matchups where the Runner has Imp or infinite money (Opus, Whizzard) and trashes all of your econ assets on sight, the Pop-Ups give me that little bit of extra gas to exploit a scoring window. I also like them as Parasite bait for Anarchs.

Also, while I'm the only person around here who plays Prepaid Kate, Tollbooth is a speedbump for her, whereas Sherlock is really annoying.

@Ajar I feel like Booth is only a speedbump for Kate decks still playing CyCy, which there aren't as many as they used to be. Kate decks running Gordian really hate seeing Booth get flipped, from my experience.
