Controlling the Message

I don't even know what to say about this ID other than wow. Asset spam isn't going anywhere.

I was hugely inspired by the Tuition Sucks (Credits) deck when building this. No longer being able to opt out of the tracing game with Aryabhata Tech is such an insane way to keep runners poor.

I've built this deck with no tag punishment other than Exchange of Information which, make no mistake, is hugely punishing.

My intention is to force traces at every turn.

Manhunt makes running expensive.

Broadcast Square paired with Muckraker and Reality Threedee allow you to rez cards that to great and terrible things: Make money and introduce more traces.

Troll is nasty because it has no subroutines to break. It is just a fun way to force the runner to play the trace game every time she encounters it.

Winning

You win when you're sitting on 40-50 credits with a runner paralyzed by the immense cost of running, trashing and removing / avoiding tags.

Should the runner sneak in through the very weak ice suite to steal a Restructured Datapool or Global Food Initiative, it's ok. It's only a matter of time before you rush out a Breaking News or 15 Minutes and exchange it back.

I like it, I tried playing Aryabhata tech in my first version of the deck, but I never found it, so I just swapped it out for other assets (Clone Suffrage Movement, Executive Bootcamp). Wanted to do the mass tracing thing but ended up going in a different direction. Good to see this is working for you. I like the inclusion of Broadcast Square and Reality Threedee as well. Do you wait until you find Broadcast Square before playing any of your BP generators? Have you considered Executive Bootcamp or Tech Startup for to pull BS out sooner? What about Hades Shard as a second Museum?

@SaracenarI have rez'd one or two without the Broadcast Square up if there was a ton of pressure on a central. Muckrakerkracker has enough subs to make the 1 BP not too damaging. I had goofed around with -1 Restructured Datapool +1 Hades Shard and I think in a 54 card version of the deck you could certainly use that as your next agenda while pulling in some other asset support. You can definitely hate tech against these kinds of decks, and maybe Hades would make that slightly less effective.
