Armando! v1.1

First attempt with this new runner. Main idea is to be able to swarm ices with almost no MU. Faerie is love, faerie is life and triggers sacrificial constructs. Creeper for recurring sentries and because it's cloud. Overmind is a good free-for-all add, imho. I'm super open to suggestion!

Creeper is just ungodly expensive to use... So don't. I know it fits the concept, but don't. Add another Faerie instead. Use that one influence on a StimhackStimhack or something instead. Also, consider using Data Folding instead of Tri-maf Contact. That way, you don't have to worry about blowing yourself up. You'll have the free memory, more often than not.

Creeper becomes significantly better when you have e3 Feedback Implants in the deck - same as Femme Fatale to break Architect, Caduceus, cheaper to break anything of higher strength. Could also fit in a ZU.13 Key Master if you like the theme.

I think the issue is the Borrowed Satelliteborrower. Such a waste of influence (Access to Globalsec is 0 influence if you really want link). That influence could go towards a Mimic which with Creeper and Faerie could be a nice suite.

-2 Box-Ebox, -2 Borrowed Satellite -1 Sacrificial Construct -1 Overmind +1 Mimic +1 ZU.13 Key Master +1 Corroder +2-3 Forger +1 Utopia Shard and finding a couple of other cards to cut could be better.

The idea of using Sacrificial Construct is an interesting one. The problem is that it only works with Faerie. If you have to trash something before using it, you do not get the effect. It works with Faerie because it trashes after its abilities are used. Because you have 3 Shiv, I can assume you did not splash for Faerie alone.

Thanks for your suggestions. Sacrificial Construct is there not only for Faerie but for Power Shutdown since the late rise of Weyland, @DarkTsunder. I use Borrowed Satellite + Box-E in order to avoid discarding due most of the time you go overdrawing during a run. Another idea would be using Savoir-faire to avoid the problem but then I would go broke really fast. What do you think?
