Genomics 7 Agenda

chrispedersen 182

Deck is pretty damn sick.

This is proxying Genomics. Snare in hand setups up kitsune / universal.

Other combos: chum kitsune (ignore choosing card),

Subliminal restocks discards any turn the runner doesn't run.

labrynthine can set up kills - but if you want a slightly safer, less fun higher win percent - use pri req.

Pretty sweet! I love the Hive in a deck with only 3 pointers. The single Boot Camp as a utility asset is a good idea too.

You have some interesting one-ofs: Tori Hanzo, Shiro, Susanoo-No-Mikoto, Gemini. Are you simply trying them out or are they here to keep the runner on their toes?

Also, you decided not to run AI hate cards, even with 6 trap/mythic cards. No love for Swordsman?

as someone who played against this deck last night (and 2 other games versus another IG build of chris's), let me say: this deck is backbreaking. chris has put in an insane amount of time (over 100 games I think at this point) with IG already, and has a number of nasty brews. playing against chris and IG is taxing in every degree. he taxes credits. he taxes clicks. he taxes cards. and he taxes your mental faculties. perhaps it will come with time, but I rarely found the optimal play on any given turn to be immediately apparent. as for the singleton issue, I will try to address it: this deck and digs with Jackson a lot, to feed archives. this means chris is almost always guaranteed to see a significant portion, if not all of, his deck.

fear the day you have to play against @chrispedersenand IG.

How does it do against a chunky Noise deck milling lots of cards?

Also, any reason for Tenin? I can't see what you're doing with all the advancement counters you're piling up.

Stupid question, but how do you score agendas?

@evilgaz it's actually Industrial Genomics: Growing Solutions. not sure why he didn't use the ID as it is officially on NRDB

@evilgaz and others: It was Tenin, because IG wasn't available in Octgn when I first started running this deck.

@Bananifier I considered long and hard on swordsman. Eventually I decided against for the following reasons:

  1. I dont' have a way to tutor it. Snare is tutorable via EBC.
  2. It falls easily to parasite/datasucker, and the deck already has vulnerability.
  3. Swordsman is useful only when the runner has not installed a sentry breaker - which, pretty much is all the time against jinteki.
  4. The deck has a lot of early game combos already - chimera, chum chimera, kitsune Univeral. So I didn't think it needed any further early game enhancement.

I may certainly be wrong.

@Bananifier I've tried all the cards. More or less my deck list is set although I may tweak here or there. This deck will routinely get down to about 5 cards in a game.

@evilgaz Noise takes a big adjustment in play style. Against other decks you are actively milling cards. Against noise, you cannot afford to.

EBC to a jackson - then rez the ebc as fast as possible and use it to pull your next jackson. Repeat. You don't want to lose your jacksons to mill.

If you score Hades, you're pretty set against noise. Finally, run agendas aggressively against noise.

@Kroen determining how to score agendas is one of the things that make the deck challenging. Your scorring windows open when either when the runner is cash poor, or hand poor.

For example kitsune/Universal/Any etr ice. Alt example: glacier remote with susanoo...

  1. I would think Noise would be the perfect matchup against this deck as his abiltiy power yours?

  2. Have you given thought to Panic Button+Reuse? or even just Reuse.

Noise powers the corps ability, but your play changes a great deal. So it takes quite a lot to get used to. Plus vs a mill deck you suffer from variability - if he mills a few 3 pointers early can be challenging.

I love panic button and am always looking for an excuse for it. I tend to prefer pb reuse in CB or other id's.
