Chuftbot 856

Alternate titles: Fast Food, Sushi-Go-Round, Instant Noodles, MOS Burger.

Palana makes a lot of money. Money needs to fuel win conditions or it's useless. This deck has two:

1) Play Biotics and score agendas

2) Play a bunch of PSI games and score agendas

The ICE in this isn't pricey, but it is annoying for a lot of the popular rigs. ICE choices/quantities are always meta dependent. Change whatever you need. This list is just generally useful. It has a lot more than most FA decks because you may need to transition to rush with Caprice if Clot lock happens.

Everything is else fairly straightforward. Agroplex makes money and pulls all the cards ever. Otherwise you're on operation econ so no one can mess it up except for Eddie K. Braintrust, Medical, and Philotic is almost 7 3/2s. GFI reduces your already low density and is scorable behind Caprice.

This archetype needs more work but this is a solid starting point. This writeup is too long.

Oh man. I'm going to draw a hot bath, order some orange chicken, and run this deck to the ground. I love this concept.

You say the ice is meta dependent, but I can't say I understand any reason to run Quicksand. I also think and Ashigaru or Komainu would work well - both love Faust.

I think in a rushy list, it might actually be a bad idea to run Agroplex, because -- while it still gives you credits and cards-- you're giving your opponents more potential answers in their hand, and allowing them to draw towards those answers much faster. It's a shame, because it's a pretty sick card in Palana otherwise.

Spags has a very similar list, but he runs Heritage Committee in Agro's place. It's pretty nice, since it can accelerate your pace a little bit, and find you agendas when you need them, without the runner tempo gain that Agro gives.

@Dothanite Ashigaru's a good shout. I prefer it in a more dedicated glacier list though. 9c is a lot, even for Palana. Quicksand is something that's started to grow on me a bit but if you expect loads of parasite don't bother.

@Saan I have yet to really mind Agro's downside. Caprice doesn't care. If I rejigger this list to run Snares I'd definitely consider Heritage though.

Harvester is an option to play around with as ICE goes; because yes you may be causing draws, with the Agroplex, but using that can force a milling and also want them to come up with a solution quicker.

Missing Snare!, Project Junebug, Mushin no Shin, Shock!, Cerebral Overwriter and Account Siphon. Not a Chuftbot deck/10.
