Saraswati - Please, test my servers

kijoe 1

This is a Saraswati shellgame deck that aims for two win conditions, either by winning through agendas + gene splicer, or then flatlining the runner.

The aim is to have use saraswati to deploy servers and almost always advance them additionally so that they have 2 advancement tokens, to ensure that the risk for the runner is so high that it defers them from running. Or if they run and it is a Cerebral they will get a big hit.

For this purpose all advancable cards are ok.

Snares, Spin doctors and regolith I would never use the Saraswati ability on.

Ice in this deck are almost all for the central servers.

Obakata Protocol are not in such a hurry to be scored as they also possibly set up the alternative win codition with flatlining the runner.

If the runner is low on cards, ie. 2 cards at hand and have scored one of the agendas, they are in quite danger to be flatlined with Standard Procedure and/or Salem’s Hospitality + Complete Image. If you have all three in hand, you can use Standard Process to first see the runners grip and possibly get some money, which you can play the Salem’s Hospitality to trash one or multiple copies of a card in the grip and then finish it off with Complete Image.

Otoroshi can be used for mind games, ie. to direct a runner sometimes to an agenda, for example obokata (which is not that bad if the runner steals if he is left with not too many cards in grip).
