Got to use Always be Running eh?

Red Oni 24

I've been playing a little game recently; I pick a card at random and build a deck including that card. For this deck the card was Always Be Running It has gone through some tuning since the first draft, but it has been doing surprisingly well in the jnet casual room.

By default choose Neutralize All Threats, Find the Truth and Safety First as you directives unless you suspect from the Corp ID that they will try to rush you. In that case drop NAT or Safety for ABR. The extra one of directives in the deck are in case something is trashed and you want it back, or to supplement what wasn't chosen at the beginning.

Only install Prepaid if you think you're going to use it multiple times, ie early in the game or you haven't seen your event econ. Same Old Thing I've mostly used for Déjà Vu to retrieve a directive or lost breaker. Haven't gone up against rig shooter Skorpios much so I don't know how good that match up is. There are some other obvious weaknesses, but so far going fast and/or keeping Employee Strike on the table has overcome most weaknesses.

Much of the time I don't feel like many of the cards are helping me, but there are those moments where they are clutch. Best example: Injection Attack boosts Savant high enough in strength to deal with some ugly ice allowing be to snipe the remote. What do you all think possible changes could be?

Given you are running Overmind, Savant and Always Be Running would e3 Feedback Implants not be a worthwhile include?

That is the common wisdom, but all that e3 does is slightly extend the life of these breakers (with the exception of allowing Always Be Running to break multi-sub ice) Especially as a one of I feel that the influence is better used elsewhere. What would you drop for it?

Déjà Vu for e3 maybe?

You could also consider Deep Data Mining for Indexing/Quality Time.

You might find too many events clog your hand and stop Safety First draws. Not sure; most of your events you can pretty much play immediately.

I can see finding room for another ABR (maybe ditch one of the back up directives) and swapping the Injection Attacks for Dean Listers.
