Probably not enough economy (or consistency for what that matters), but I just wanted to share the idea since I have come to love ABT so much I have to trigger it even single time I see it. Then do it again.

Btw I just tried in a couple of games and it kinda works. Or fails miserably. Anyone else out there trying to 24/7 News Cycle an Accelerated Beta Test?

Why not use Bifrost Array? It's a little harder to fire but gets you closer to winning instead of farther away, and is cheaper in the long run. Precognition might be really nice since you will be firing off so many ABTs.

And you most definitely do not have enough economy - your ice suite is ridiculously expensive to be supported by 3 hedge funds.

Ahaha thanks I totally forgot about that, for sure I'll swap Director Haas' Pet Project for one of those and try to find space for some more! By the way the Domestic Sleepers has been my cannon fodder of choice, I'd even fast track it for if I have the News Cycle in hand, and when I did forfeit it did't feel like a big loss, also because the agenda spread allows for different combinations. Other times you just win with it though.

@FarCryFromHuman The above comment was for you! After your amazing revelation I made another version, untested, to maximize even further the ABT potential. Link in the inspiration for.

@Phoenix I know, I don't even think about hard razzing anything above 4 cost, they are there as ABT targets.

If you find that you're actually able to score 5/3s this deck seems to be begging for at least 1 Priority Requisition. Either that or an Eliza's Toybox, because you want some way to rez your expensive ICE after you have drawn and/or installed it.

@notrocketscience Thanks I didn't think about it, but real 3 pointers are scary in this deck especially considered the few games I played I leave R&D very accessible to divert attention from remotes/give agendas away for cleaner ABTs. The first pieces of expensive ICE gets installed on centrals just for show and are never rezzed, the rest goes into the bin to be brought back into R&D by Jackson.

The other question is (yes I know ST makes all your ice stronger but hear me out) if you intend to fire ABT so many times, why not run The Foundry with its inherent protection?

@Phoenix To switch to The Foundry I'd defintely need better economy. I feel I'd end up with a very different deck. I'm sure it's a totally viable option though.
