Remote-ly Good: A casual deck for casual people v1.0

Unguarded 28

Lets get somethin' straight: This deck is nowhere as good as it could be if you just took out Remote Data Farm and put in the standard Fastro setup. Now, on to the fun!

This deck has been thoroughly tested against similarly janky decks for three games on Jinteki.net and won every one, so you can see this make an appearance at worlds. I'm kidding of course, just play it and have fun winning with the worst NBN agenda. If nothing else, you'll walk away with the clean, fresh moral high of not playing IG Bio-Ethics, you special snowflake! (Also all critique welcome/requested.)

Economy:

Since corps have migrated towards horizontal asset economy, Edward "One-handed" Kim sees no play. Turn that into a strength by running operation econ, with flexible recovery options, since Sweeps Week can easily get you into Hedge Fund range should you get siphoned. Double bonus from Sweeps, since all these runners are using Faust, many are using hand size increasing cards.

Increased hand size is sustained by subliminal messaging, and you can hold on to your meaningful cards like psychographics and closed accounts for just the right moment.

Agenda suite:

Explode-a-palooza: Easier Midseasons, who doesn't want that? Remote Data Farm: The key piece of the deck, if these get stolen... :( Global Food Initiative: Runner has to steal 4 of the 8 agendas to win.

Ice:

Ashigaru is self explanatory, everything else is to annoy/tag the runner.

IQ seemed like an auto include, but I've been pretty unhappy with it. It's a lot of influence for a smaller payoff than Ashigaru, and later in the game it can become prohibitively expensive.

Replacements:

Since we're in the realm of jank, I'm actually leaning towards replacing the IQ with 2x of Hudson 1.0. I think he moves into "must break" territory when you're holding 8 cards in hand and the runner wants to HQI/Legwork.

I also believe that data raven could probably be replaced by Pop-Up Window or Tollbooth, as once you've landed a mid-seasons the ice is blank.

Thanks for reading.
