Pre-rotation decklist |
Very much shaper-influenced rig-builder and central smasher.
Quite theoretical.
A fair amount of income generation points and no sky-high costs, leaving more for running with (hopefully).
No prevention and try to avoid zero credit pools so tags and traces can be potential hazards that I see.
Mr. Li, Replicators and Logos should help with card advantage, but recursion is low.
Exp. Sched Analyser and Wiretaps to know when to hit HQ (and also thematic) with the HQ interface & pheramones/sneakdoor to pull it off. R&D Int. and Makers eye help with general runs on R&D as well.
Included Copycat as it may help to shoot deep into a central without spending too much or hop across to a remote when you're worried that the game-ending score might be sat there (though I've not tested copycat so not sure how situational that might be).
Borrowed satellite was the last 2 influence and there were so many possibilities. Aesops were a possible choice, but went with Satellite as with the amount of tutoring and free-draws I though extra hand size would help, alongside another link source for Underworlds. Another strong option for the denial route would be 2x scrubber.
C&C welcome!

thanks for the tips x3r0, Hostages is a good call, and my just add a couple on top of the 45 limit as they would effectively tip the deck balance towards the connections, which as you mentioned is good for CiF (Loved that the minute I saw it as I do go quite heavy on connections anyway). May have to wait till the set is out to playtest Aesops/Borrowed Satellite/Scrubbers options I think. Not sure procontracts is needed myself, though it is a good shout. There's still quite a bit of Econ in there and if I can hit Mr Li (easier with hostage) then card draw shouldn't be needed, whereas the influence required would be |
I think hostage is a must if you're going into connections. The more you have, the more you can burst with CiF, which I'm becoming more and more of a fan of. I think UWC is right, but my Iain deck doesn't have it yet. Aesops is good for replicator and inside man, so I'd strongly consider that over satellite. Also procontacts feels pretty strong in UWC connection decks, especially with hostage.
