The Next Frustration

Knalla 30

Hello,

This time I present my version of "The Next Generation". Its basically another deck with a lot of taxing ice. But it has some "twists".

How to play "The Next Frustration":

So what you are basically doing is securing your remotes ASAP. This makes sure, that you will be able to play your Successful Demonstration. Dont mind playing any of your assets in a remote, except maybe a Snare!. You could also protect it with a Snowflake to generate more money when they run on it. Whatever it is, it might cost the runner either cards, money or both (to remove the tag). If you face a Runner, where you might fear an account siphon , secure your HQ with a Caprice Nisei if possible.

By the way, if you go for any a psi game, dont hesitate to pay two credits. This will make the runner think that you have something valuable there. Always take time to think about your psi games. This confuses many runners. Never go for the: I dont care, ill just go for 0 credits, then ill still get 1 credit. Just go for that if you really need that 1 credit next turn. Dont forget: Every psi game above 0 credits also costs the runner and might also make it impossible for him to steal that NAPD Contract.

Now some "In Depth":

Agendas: NAPD Contract and The Future Perfect can be really taxing and its uncertain if they will be able to steal it. Nisei MK II is good to make it possible to finally score one The Future Perfect. Also it can keep your valuable Caprice Nisei alive if you finally loose that psi game. Fetal AI is there for the "Komaino -> Fetal -> Dead" Run.

Assets: I guess one Snare! and two Psychic Field are enough to protect your Mental Health Clinic and Melange Mining Corp. at least for one turn. Mental Health Clinic maybe just does not work perfect in combination with Cerebral Cast and Scorched Earth but at least they wont expect it.

Operations: Economy and "the Twist". Do not care about them playing a plascrete. Closed Accounts is still a possibility. In the end even brain damage is nice. Maybe overwrite your Mental Health Clinic then.

Ice: I guess most of the ice is pretty self-explanatory except maybe the Bullfrog and the Ichi 1.0. Bullfrog is a really nice card in the begining to protect a central server against any run events. After that it might help to protect an asset, the archives or even every server, cause is becoming even more taxing. Ichi 1.0 is the only way to trash programms. Also it has that nice trace that fits to our "twist". Nice ice for centrals.

Thats it so far. Have some good experience with this deck so far. Still looking for some minor tweaks. What do you think?

BTW: I guess i will add Bad Times to this decks as soon as it is out here in germany.
