Here's my attempt at a broadcast square deck. With NBN's ability, the illicit ice trace subroutines suddenly become either very taxing or very punishing, and a grim in front of shinobi can be deadly. This deck is built to be heavily taxing with ASH, illicit ice, and high cost to trash assets, as well as a mix of tag punishment with market research, PSF, and closed accounts. Adonis campaign and private contracts are there to provide a bit more lasting econ to rez expensive ice, I'm still worried about econ in general though.

I'd love to hear some suggestions.

You know, almost every time I make a corp deck these days, I take along, hard look at Swarm. I can never make the calculus work well enough to want to include it, but Broadcast Square avoiding the bad pub might just push it into useable territory for me. Did you think about including it? Trashing the runner's entire rig could really bring their game to a screeching halt. And who's going to expect it, really? I see you advancing ICE in an NBN deck, I know what I think it's gonna be.

Yeah I did think about that, and I'd love to put it in flare's place, but that 4 influence really hurts. I could do something like -1 Shinobi, -1 Eli, +1 Swarm, +1 Bastion (and I'll probably try that out in the future). However, to my problem with swarm is that you have to put far too much of an investment in to it. It's already 8 to rez, and to make it worth it you probably want at least subroutines on it. I'd really rather spend my clicks and credits on something else, but only playtesting will tell.

Yeah, it's crushingly expensive. Part of the reason I never end up using it! Seems like if you could rez it at the right time you could crush the rest of the game, though, so when I saw your deck that revolved around avoiding one of its drawbacks (bad pub), it popped right to mind. As you say, only resting could ever say for sure whether it might be worth the 11+ creds.
