I don't even know

I tried to make a turn table deck but I have no idea if this is even functional??

  1. Notoriety... what for? You need 3 clicks for the runs and get one (1!) point while 3 clicks for Keyhole/Medium-runs might bring you the whole game.

  2. Cache.

  3. Medium and Keyhole don't really go well together. I'd stick with one of them and drop the other.

  4. Autoscripter won't show up often, if you only field one of them with no way of tutoring. Pack two of them or drop it.

  5. drop the Magnum Opus and take Armitage Codebusting. Does basicly the same, safes influence and you don't loose that much tempo.

  6. Hivemind without a ways to replenish after purge is just a big sinkhole for money and MU. Virus Breeding Ground or Incubator come to mind.

p.s. Turntable is a nice console, but most of the other Anarch-IDs are better suited then the one with a "no run at all"-option.

Agreed with @Crashdown on 1, 2, 4 and 6. Medium + Keyhole is fine, but I wouldn't spend 4 card slots on it. Both have their strengths against different archetypes, and knowing which to install can win you the game, but you don't really want to see either until your rig is ready.

The Magnum Opus is probably better off as Armitage Codebusting, or, since you are running 2x Career Fair, Liberated Account. Regardless, you don't have the to support MO along with the rest of your rig.

Turntable is much better than many say it is. That said, it's really hard to argue against Grimoire here, for obvious reasons.

Rachel Beckman is a waste of 2 influence. With all your other installs you are never going to get around to installing her, she's fragile, and she is a titanic tempo hit.

You might look at Hacktivist Meeting, and god does Noise always want Aesop's Pawnshop and Clone Chips. If you re-spend the bulk of your influence you might find yourself with some really useful card slots.

@Crashdown, @FarCryFromHuman Hey guys! Thanks for your comments. I really appreciate the feedback. I probably would be better off with Grimoire, but Turntable just seemed like so much fun. I put medium and keyhole in together so I could have some flexibility (I feel that Keyhole really compliments Noises ability, but I could be very wrong on that as I mostly see it used with Valencia Estevez: The Angel of Cayambe ). I should probably replace Magnum Opus and use that influence for another Autoscripter and maybe a Cache. Though I'm not entirely sure how to strategically make the best use of Cache. Do you take the virus counters off Cache or do you gain one every turn for each counter on it? I've been playing with my friends for a while and just started getting kind of competitive and I'm not very good at deck building yet. :/

How do I make the most of Aesop's Pawnshop? What else can I do to maximize my clicks/cards/economy? Thanks for your suggestions though, I'll definitely keep them in mind for future edits of this deck. I'm not really sure where I was going with it, other than that I've always liked the synergy of virus cards, Noise works well with virus cards, and Turntable looked really cool with lots of opportunities for puns (TURN UP THE NOISE!!!).

Come, sit down by the fire, and learn about the Aesop's Pawnshop + Cache combo:

1) Install Cache: Mill 1 card, spend 1 (0 with a single Cyberfeeder).

2) Use all virus tokens for 3 (4 with Grimoire installed).

3) At the start of your next turn, sell Cache for 3 using Aesop's Pawnshop.

4) If you don't have a more important use for it, install a Clone Chip and burn it for the same Cache, looping back around to #1.
