Why Executive Boot Camp over The Root? Seems like The Root does more work for making Blue Sun tons of money. Maybe I'm missing something, though.

Bootcamp is just additional copies of adonis campaign.

Ah ok. Figured as much since you're maxed on influence. Thanks!

Why drop the Daily Business Show in this version?

It's often too much work to make a 2nd remote to protect it. This deck only ever makes a single remote, and adonis gets the VIP seat in that remote. I've been considering adding a private contracts, though, which doesn't step on adonis's toes nearly as much (it can be naked, and you can click it for money at the same time as running adonis).

Yeah, I like the idea of private contracts in a second server. Pay 3 and a click for them to pay 5 and a click sounds fine to me. What would you take out?

Also, what are you thoughts on adding any of the new order and chaos agenadas? High-Risk Investment or even Government Takeover?

I dunno, any of the flex slots really. A crisium (my newer version has 2 of these), or a bootcamp, or an interns.

Regarding agendas, I thought about high-risk. It could be good, but I don't want to rely on the runner being rich, and there's good odds a runner might make both players broke trying to come after your 5/3, making you need to wait for a while before high-risking. The payoff with pri-req is immediate... but also, unreliable and clunky to set up. I'm suspicious on HRI but it's worth testing.

As for gov't takeover... the fat agendas are in here to actually be scored. If you're set on playing a 9/6 consider this janky thing: netrunnerdb.com

Too janky, too many deck slots. The deck needs 18+ ice to function. It's good to be able to mulligan aggressively.

Mushin-grid combo is a different deck, more fun to play, but worse :)

I absolutely agree. Just curious why you have 2 copies of Crisium Grid in your glacier build. Unless your newer version isn't glacier.

It's like ash/caprice for centrals. It hoses all crim decks, hoses the calimsha kate deck (which plays makers/indexing over RDI and is otherwise a really bad matchup), and slows down the newfangled max eater keyhole deck.

Looking forward to seeing the updated list!

How have you slotted in the Crisiums?

6 Feb 2015 bblum

19 ice instead of 22

6 Feb 2015 bblum

21 I mean

7 Feb 2015 Thike

Makes sense. 21 felt a little high to me. The other thing I was thinking about was 1x Ash and 1x Archived. Have you tried that?

7 Feb 2015 bblum

I wouldn't go below 2 ash. You need to find him by the midgame; he is your win condition. Archive mem is better than interns but at 2 inf less I'm happy with interns.

Cutting Changeling and what else?

7 Feb 2015 bblum

And hadrian's and taurus. And adding Orion. And I'm not sure about this yet but also potentially cutting 3rd pike for wormhole.
