"This entire facility is outfitted with the latest generation of Haas bioroids. The system is 100% automated and self-correcting. If anything breaks or goes missing, the bioroids will automatically detect, diagnose and fix the problem. It really is marvelous to watch!"

~ Wilhelm Jessen, Tour Guide, Custom Biotics Division

This deck placed 2nd in a field of 10 at a local tournament. Not a high-profile showing but enough testing for me to know it's at least somewhat viable. It sure is fun to pilot!

  1. Score Domestic Sleepers
  2. Attempt to score Vanity Project or Global Food Initiative
  3. The runner steals it the agenda
  4. Midseason Replacements
  5. Exchange of Information to trade Domestic Sleepers for a bigger agenda
  6. Rinse and repeat

It's really difficult for the runner to reach 7 points.

All the bioroid ICE basically act as speed bumps. Early game it will slow the runner down by siphoning clicks. Late game, it's rather expensive to break with breakers. Between Sherlock 2.0, Ichi 2.0 and Ravana 1.0 the runner might build up tags without the need for Midseason Replacements.

Operations are the engine of this deck. They allow you to gain credits, draw cards, search for agendas, search for other operations, apply tags and recur any card you need to use again.

Why Successful Demonstration? If your roids are only speedbumps, do you really think, you can fire this regularly? (Even if your roids fire, most of them don't even have an ETR.)
Early game, it's easy to fire, late game you need Jinteki tools to force unsuccessful runs or it's a dead card. Batty, Caprice, Nisei II all work fine for this. But not in this ID :D

Plus, Film Critic makes your whole deck invalid, doesnt it? What's the backup plan if you can't land Midseason Replacements?

After the tournament, -3 Jeeves Model Bioroids (he rarely fired) +3 Successful Demonstration. Even though the ICE doesn't explicitly end the run, the runner often has to be selective about which subroutines to break or not break and the threat of brain damage, trashing/tucking programs or taking tags is sometimes enough to coerce the runner into jacking out.

If I can't rely on Midseason Replacements, then stacking Sherlock 2.0, Ichi 2.0 and/or Ravana 1.0 on a scoring remote is a decent strategy. The runner might get in and steal the agenda but they'll potentially take a tag and not have enough clicks to clear it. That leaves an opportunity to Exchange of Information or blow up Film Critic.
