Hungry Noise

faith_star83 8

This is my version of a Noise Deck with the latest cards. The plan is to get Keyhole and Eater out as quickly as possible. Then spend your clicks to trash cards from R&D with Keyhole or install nasty viruses to further speed up the milling. Knights and viruses will help you make the final run on archives.

The economy is standard Noise fare consisting of Aesop's, Cache and Cyberfeeder. Eater makes sure your Dirty Laundry always works out, too.

Knight and Corroder plus Parasite + Datasucker make sure you can still make runs to access cards, e.g. to trash assets or steal installed agendas.

Incubator is here to be tested, it certainly can force the corp to purge and synergizes well with all the other mean viruses.

With testing you may find that Incubator tends to synergize best with Nerve Agent and/or Medium. Without either of those, I'd imagine that it's not going to feel very powerful (aside from killing something quickly by transfering virus tokens to a Parasite).

Do you face any Blue Sun in your area? Elizabeth Mills to trash your Aesop's and bouncing Ice you put Parasites and Knights on is crippling.

@PaxCecilia Thanks for the hints. You are right, intially I had one Medium to tutor it out with the Djinn if needed. As for Incubator, I did not test the card yet but it might be good on Imp or Cache, too.

As for BlueSun: You are right about the ICE, I like Knight because it often Serves to trash ICE. What I usually do is move to an unrezzed piece of ICE before the end of the turn if possible. But maybe Crypsis is the better choice as I can tutor it out with Djinn. Around here I never saw Elizabeth Mills, but it sure could be a problem for this deck!

Yeah, just last week a player trashed my Aesop's with Mz. Mills and it was absolutely crippling. I couldn't turn off Wyldside for the rest of the game, and my other two Aesop's were in the bottom 10 cards. I still gave the corp a run for it's money, but losing a click every turn to draw cards I didn't need ended up killing me with discards and lost tempo.

I ran Elizabeth Mills in my GRNDL: Power Unleashed deck, back when no one ever saw it. Personal Workshop and Aesop's Pawnshop tend to be very central to decks that use them, and it was crippling. Blue Sun: Powering the Future has started making her show up a lot more. I'm not really sure a good defense for it.

Thanks for your insights, guys. I am not sure if Noise is the right choice, then. I imagined an aggressive build that destroys ICE and mills the corp a lot.

Maybe I'll changed the econ and try and use Chopbot to make use of the redundant virus cards like Cache & Imp.
