Dr. Lovegood synchronizes with most resources. Possible interactions:

Drug Dealer: The common interaction (they are next to each other in this site's sorting!) which nets you a card (post end of turn, even!) for free. Essentially a hand-size +1 with draw.

Rolodex: Install to arrange your stack, then sell to Aesop without trashing.

Donut Taganes: Corp has to pay more for Operations, but when you need an event turn, do it without hindrance.

The Source: When Film Critic isn't pulling her weight and you know you are going to steal an agenda, here's your chance.

Muertos Gang Member: Same as Rolodex.

Grifter: Know you can't make that run this turn? Hold onto your money-vortex for now.

Earthrise Hotel: While rare, you can stall Earthrise draws whenever you are holding on to more cards than you can play.

  • Obvious downsides:

Lack of multi-access and potentially slow money gain (unless you get Supplier early).

  • Cards that didn't make the cut:

Stim Dealer: While thematic in the drug scene, you generally won't want to take that brain damage, meaning you get 2 clicks for 4 credits and use up Lovegood more than you'd like.

Theophilius Bagbiter: When you find yourself broke and unable to recover, you can stall the low hand size to save yourself.

Maybe someone can test this out, see if there's some merit to it.

I haven't even tried to consider Dr. Lovegood's usefulness with non-Adam decks... wow is he amazing. This deck is a great snapshot of what he can do. That said, I'd focus way more in on a particular strategy.

3x Dr. Lovegood, 3x Aesop's Pawnshop, 3x Muertos Gang Member, 3x Rolodex, 1x Drug Dealer seems like a good core. Six targets for Aesop's as soon as a Lovegood is out means consistent turn-to-turn income and no downsides. Derezzing a corp card for and +3 on your next turn is absurd; 5-card scry (is there a netrunner term for this?) for a and +3 on your next turn is almost as good. You can throw in some other Aesop's bait, run a full breaker suite, and have some serious consistency.

The singleton of The Source is really fun if you can spare the two influence.

TL;DR: Great start, but I think focusing on a carefully chosen set of resources is the way to go, not a bunch of inconsistent singletons.

Hostage was included to fetch the connections specific to your needs, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with going narrow to create a more solid foundation. I'm glad this strategy can inspire others.

I also forgot to include Calling in Favors, which can devastate a corp late game when they think you're too poor to get in one last time.

Any thoughts on Oracle May? With as many resources as you have it might be worth a shot. No synergy with Dr. Lovegood though. And the influence...

Cool deck though! :) Can't wait to try it out.

Thanks!

I glanced over Oracle May, but decided the swinginess isn't worth it. She's a great sync with Rolodex, but otherwise useless. I suppose a 1-of wouldn't hurt for those who like the aforementioned combo. Would definitely be great tempo boost if she's in your starting hand with a Rolodex!

After one or two Rolodex Mays you could sell her off... hm. Might have to consider her now.

Opening hand includes Hostage + Rolodex? Fetch the May!

:)

All these connections and no calling in favors. For shame.

I know! Don't hate me! While adding the connections I told myself 'definitely needs CiF', but once I hit 45 cards I completely forgot! Maybe replace some Dirty Laundries?
