NBN with Dedicated Response Team

Saikron 37

This is a gimmick deck that is mostly interested in putting Dedicated Response Team on the board, using Midseasons for a ton of tags, and then waiting to use DRT+Snoop+Scorched to win.

You can also flatline with Snare! if you can rez two or more DRT before they access it.

Don't forget to forfeit your False Lead if you can get the kill.

Do I want more economy? Do I want more Snoop? Maybe, but it needs more testing.

UPDATE: Closed Accounts is a better 1 of than Reversed Accounts. Gila Hands and False Lead do a lot more to help the economy of the deck and help set up flatlines, so I cut 1x NAPD and 1x Wraparound to make room.

I kinda miss Manhunt in this list. If DRT is rezzed taking the tag is harder for them, and its a great sink for your recurring credits, and to remove it will set them up for MSR.

Why Marked Accounts over Daily Business Show or PAD Campaign?

Maybe more Wraparround over TMI? I know TMI is more expensive to break, but even with the recurring credits TMI can be fought just by beating the trace, costing both of you 3+x credits. I'd take that as runner, and don't even need a fracter for that.

Manhunt would be pretty cool and it's something I hadn't thought of. Current operations mostly stay in my binder. It would be a good source for tags earlier in the game.

I picked Marked Accounts because the rez/trash cost is slightly more favorable for the corp compared to PAD. Daily Business Show is cool and exciting, and it would let me sandbag by burying agendas. I'm not sure what I would cut for it.

TMI I'm not sure about yet. I haven't run the deck with this ICE setup. In my imagination, running TMI in Making News is better than Wraparound, but we'll see how that theory pans out in testing. Even if it gets derezed, I spend 3 to rez and 0 to trace, and the runner must spend 4 depending on link. I don't think that's such a bad trade if I have to take it, but you're right that ideally I would only rez it if I have more credits than the runner.

I always assume 1 link and sometimes get positively surprised rather than the other way around.

The rez cost of pad can be said to be 1 credit (if rezzed at the optimal timing) where marked is 1 click, easily worth at least as much, but it IS more likely to get your 3 credits back from Accounts, than from Pad.

Any reason not to run Data Raven in this deck? It would go wonders with DRT.

@JinMos, Data Raven competes directly with Information Overload and Snoop for deck space, and unlike those cards it's blanked once the runner starts floating tags.

This is an all new ICE setup for the deck after trying it with ICE heavily geared towards tagging. Raven and Hunter became blanked cards pretty easily.

Handling Raven tagless is a lot more taxing than handling IO tagless though, so im not sure I agree 100% with that, but it is very true that it becomes a very bad card once the MSR hits. I think arguments can be made for either side here, and testing and tweaking (which it sounds like OP has done) is required
