Weyland advance - Advice welcome

resistant 3

The deck mainly revolves around Anson Rose and getting Strong ICE. I'm still unsure about the Agenda setup. The identity is more for annoyance and tempo than for Flatlining the runner

I think using Builder of Nations to annoy and delay the runner rather than flatlining makes sense... Chipping away for one meat damage a turn is not a very reliable way to get a flatline, but it is a nuisance that should slow the runner down a bit.

But it feels like your deck is not well equipped to take advantage of that, particularly with the agenda suite. I would suggest two things:

  1. If you have access to them, I would really consider playing Project Atlas. It is the best agenda Weyland has access to to sneak out some early points while the runner is still getting set up, and also has a very nice ability if you over advance it.
  2. Builder of Nations has a very cool feature in that you don't have to have as big of a deck. You are allowed to play an 18 agenda point deck with anywhere between 40 and 44 cards. This gives you a little more efficiency than other Weyland decks. It would make sense for you to take advantage of that (it would also mean you could play fewer 5/3 agendas, which would be good).

I think you could probably afford to shave some ICE... maybe go down to 1 Orion, 2 Nebula, 2 Wormhole, something like that. Maybe even lose a Shipment from Kaguya.

I worry that this deck is going to have a hard time getting to 7 points before the runner gets set up and makes things impossible to win. The two solutions to that are to make yourself more efficient so you can go fast and win before they get set up, or alternatively you could consider some alternate plan (like attempting to flatline the runner or something).

Good luck!

You got 6 ices that work with Anson. Why play him? Ofc it can place token on Archer but runner will probably hit another ice during run, that triggers your ID. And you need scored agenda and rezzed Anson turn before to trigger it anyways.
