I know that everyone thinks you should just win with a beale instead, but this in't intended as a competitive deck. It is intended as a ridiculous combo that will work half the time, but devastate the runner when it triggers. Any comments (aside from play midseason phycho in nbn) are welcome.

A player at our local meta (Seattle) played a deck like this and actually got a Midseason/Psycho Ares off once. Wiped my board. It was pretty cool, actually.

Yes! More people using Project Ares! I love that card. I am a bit concerned that you have too many money sinks though. Between boosting the midseasons trace (already 5 credits) and corporate troubleshooter, your ice is REALLY expensive overall especially with just 2 Efficiency Researches. You probably want stuff that's both taxing and ends the run. I'd look into the Next Suite since its really good early and late, along with a Mother Goddess or two for absolute early game stoppage. Cut the Heimdall 2's to Heimdall 1's, take out Janus (unless you're going for a dedicated brain damage victory I don't think he's worth it), and maybe change it to 2 Ichi 2's. Look into Rototurrets, Enigmas, even Archers. 3 Tollbooths may be excessive too. Maybe cut it down to 2 and use that influence on something like GRNDL Refinery, Ice Walls, or whatever you might want. From there I'd probably replace the two BER's with Restructure.

TL;DNR, I love people using Project Ares, but I think your ice is too expensive to really make it work with your fairly limited money options.

How have you found the Wotans in play? With your ICE suite I'd almost wonder whether PriReqs would help some of the costs.

I love the deck, btw :-) My own version got built after reading a review for Opening Moves where the reviewer said (paraphrasing) "...I'm sure some bad Johnny is going to try and make a Midseasons/Psycho deck in Custom Biotics and try to fire off a super Ares..."

I'm honestly not sure why I never thought about making a deck like this before but I'm definitely going to do it now!

@icedman, that was my inspiration too. @skydivingninja, i will consider that when i have some time to edit the deck. Will probably publish a new version, prob cheaper ice or pri req.
