Shorebird 1.0

Selucian 24

Another attempt at making something interesting out of Quetzal. Some card interactions that I thought were interesting and worth a try:

e3 Feedback Implants and Mammon was an interesting thought, that is to say the number of counters isn't a prediction of the number of subs so much as a prediction of the number of ice. It is an attempt to cover for Sentries and Code Gates while setting up the next interaction.

Quetzal: Free Spirit with Egret and Surfer makes for an interesting go at expensive ice. For example, when you encounter a Fairchild 3.0 it costs 2c to pass it and 2c for each subsequent piece of ice regarldess of subtype etc. The weakness here, and admittedly a significant one, is that the ice needs to be rezzed and have an Egret hosted on it. The dream is that you get an Egret on a Street Peddler so you have instant speed but you'll be relying on Mammon in the meantime if you have my kind of luck. With this interaction the idea is to then use Keyhole, albeit relatively slowly. It also makes for a decent go at camping scoring remotes.

I chose Grimoire as it is cheap memory, Maw would be more interesting but it is pretty expensive. The economy in this deck is definitely limited by influence. Getting e3 Feedback Implants, Egret, and Mammon left me with one influence which I used to throw in a Film Critic to try to stay clean and avoid those drones (Hunter Seeker).
