Harmony Medtech: Lockdown

Nevofix 171

I assume it's pretty obvious how to play this deck.

Use Mushin to get 3 advancements on Vanity Project or kill the Runner. Marcus Batty can be used for Lockdown as well as to end the run.

Advice appreciated!

The Future Perfect forces you to overscore to win. Why not use three two-point agendas instead? They are much easier to score. Braintrust would work and let you get more use out of your Mushin No Shin plays. Jinteki really needs access to some more 3/2s!

I'd also go up to 3x Himitsu-Bako as it's your only way other than Caprice Nisei to rush out early agendas and it synergizes extremely well with Mushin No Shin.

@FarCryFromHuman The reason I have Future Perfect instead of 3x 2-pointers is because I want only 5 agendas

I agree with @FarCryFromHuman that you might consider some 2-pointers. Braintrust would work, as your ICE suite is somewhat pricy, but I think Medical Breakthrough may also be an option. It becomes easier to score for the winning point if they've stolen one, and if they've stolen two (or you've scored 1 and they've stolen 1), well, a 2/2 agenda is pretty amazing.

What's your normal play with Batty? Is he more often an emergency ETR, or does the 1 net damage make all the difference in your experience? I suppose the dream is to replicate Shinobi's final sub, but it doesn't seem like it would occur often.

@slobad31 Batty is there to replicate Lockdown when they're low on cards to set up for the kill

I really like the idea of this deck but I don't really see how it can kill your opponent. An experienced player won´t run on a triple advanced card without six cards in hand, nor will he run last click. So in the best case scenario he ends his turn with one card in hand, meaning you need to fire two neurals to do the job.
