[Standard - Jank Grade] Mind's Eye Padma

PreNic 338

Before you start reading, this comes directly out of the jank factory. If you are looking for a competitive or even fun deck, this is the wrong place. :D

ooops

Anyway, I was looking for a way to use Padma's ability and since it looks the boat does not really need it. This is just an exercise to test an idea: it does not work very well but I wanted to share the concept in case someone better at deckbuilding than me can make it work.

The main idea here is to install and start building up as soon as possible power counters on Mind's Eye and then use it in the mid-late game to access cards directly from the top of R&D, ignoring any ice on the server.

The Twinning, Nyashia and eXer will grant extra accesses on a use of Mind's Eye since they only look for a breach and not for a successful run.

Climactic Showdown and Black Hat were also options to get a +2 access on R&D for a whole turn but they are quite demanding on the influence. Other than that, Climactic Showdown has a timing that I don't really like. Black Hat seems more reliable to me but I don't thing the deck is rich enough at the moment.

Kasi String is here to get the 7th point in case it would be required. Once you get the first power counter it is quite easy to charge it to 4. I could even run more than one copy of it.

I am not sure if that breaker suite is really required, maybe it would make sense to have some Flip Switch to bounce on R&D and just get the trigger of Captain Padma Isbister: Intrepid Explorer.

Daeg, First Net-Cat and Stoneship Chart Room are here to get extra charges.

Simulchip is here to get Nyashia or eXer back if required.

The 2 inf on Emergency Shutdown where just to have a way to run a less guarded HQ and get a derez on R&D. I could easily cut it and change the breaker set to fit one copy of Black Hat I guess.

Something like Because I Can could make sense to force a reshuffle of R&D and do Mind's Eye -> Because I Can -> Mind's Eye. I mean, I think I already mentioned that this is jank grade.
