I've been playing versions of this deck since Creation and Control was released.
**Note: I did not write the article linked below, I was merely inspired by it.*
Link for reference: http://eriktwicereviews.com/netrunner-upgrades-incorporated-a-haas-bioroid-primer-part-i/
This a modern version of the deck archetype discussed in the article, focused more around protecting Director Haas rather than trying to rush out Mandatory Upgrades. Aside from that difference the goal of the deck is the same: tax the runner's clicks/credits as much possible and force them to make bad decisions with their money. Inevitably, whatever choices they make you have a way of taking advantage of it.
It's always been a solid deck, but ever since the release of NAPD, different versions of this deck have easily won over 80% of their games in GNK tourneys and casual play. This was the largest/longest (18 players, 5 rounds swiss, cut to top 8) netrunner tournament I've ever participated in, let alone won, so I figured it was finally worth publishing.
The deck went 7-1 on the day with its only loss coming to a Noise deck piloted by the 2nd place finisher. That runner deck went completely undefeated until I beat it in game 2 of the finals for the win.
I also played against 2 MaxX Eater/Keyhole decks, an Andysucker, Stealth Kit, Edward Kim, and Chaos Theory.

There's the reason Noise is my toughest matchup. Imp is admittedly the strongest counter to this play style. Still, it is easily played around. They will trash 1 thing then you purge it immediately. Don't leave your assets out in the open, unless it's like an unrezzed Eve which you can use to bait out an imp token. You can still choke their credits/clicks with ice and Ash. Between, Jackson, Vitruvius, and architect, I play plenty of recursion. If you overwhelm them with cards to trash, they inevitably can't trash them all, even with imp. |

I used to play basically this for most of my time playing (so most of last year), maybe it's time to go back, as I've been struggling to figure out a corp for store championships post O&C... When it comes to imp, cyberdex virus suite may be something to consider; just have it installed facedown somewhere and when imp hits the table, at the first available window, rez and toss, no more imp. It's a viable counter to attempts to parasite/datasucker ice down (make them eat something they thought they were going to blow up) and incubator powered medium glory digs too. With anarch everywhere it's a reasonable include if you can figure out the space. |
19 Feb 2015
Darkshift07
Yeah that's the obvious solution. I've yet to actually struggle with Anarch enough to where I felt I needed cyberdex, but it is definitely the hardest matchup. |

Ice and Ash. The runner simply cannot trash all your econ assets AND set up a rig AND pressure centrals AND deal with Haas/Ash behind ice AND have money left to steal the followup NAPD. They will fall short on one of those fronts and you use those windows to score. Sometimes I just throw out and score an unprotected Beta Test because the runner stopped running my assets to focus on something else. Haas only gets rezzed once I'm ahead, and once she's rezzed I'm usually ahead for good. |

Oh, and is mandatory upgrades rallye necessary? It feels like an overkill to me. |

I used to play a ton of the original, but when runner econ picked up I found it much more difficult. I love the update and new focus, definitely going to give it a go. Congrats on the win! |

I personally would play 1 Hass and 2-3 executive bootcamp, rather than 3 Haas... u get the idea why, right? |

Until you get over your fear of the Runner trashing Director Haas, this deck will not function properly for you. The point is to OVERWHELM them with trash costs. If they trash Haas you need something immediately available in order to take advantage of the window where the runner is poor. Sometimes that just means installing another copy of Haas and daring the runner to breaking into your scoring remote again and trash her. Think about the amount of times the runner doesn't want to steal NAPD because they know how far behind it would put them. Haas poses the same issue combined with the "must trash" nature of SanSan. I win plenty of games with the runner on 6 points, but their score area is something like 2x Director Haas and a NAPD. The fact that they paid an additional 14 credits to score those 6 points is probably what allowed me to win. Sometimes "feeding" the runner Haas and NAPD is how you win. |

I think I'm going to copy your deck and play it myself because I want something cool and this is probably it. I can't imagine it being bad against Eater, that's for sure ;) |

I honestly don't even think this deck maximizes Haas' ability because all I'm doing with the extra click really is fast advancing. Something Like Haas + IT Department or Docklands crackdown could get crazy pretty fast. Also both those cards have a high trash cost and are as "must trash" as Haas herself. Would need more end the run ice for that to work though, I think. |

It's perfect and i've even don't know what to change to make it better. I think it's impossible to do;) Architect on R&D is almost always saving my ass. Also i've never played with Accelerated Beta Test ability, but in this deck i can put Jackson Howard on remote server and nobody interresting of him. Because 2x Adonis, 1x Eve and 1x Howard it's impossible to trash and runner most times dont trash anything... so Howard give's oppurtinity to use ability of Accelerated Beta Test and combining it with Architect i sometimes even know that i have next 3 ices in R&D all installed and rezzed for free included Tollbooth. Hmmmm is a big fun mate, thanks :) |

I took this deck to today's Store Tournament. I got to the Top 4 with it, which is not bad at all. :) I like the list, as you say, playing an NAPD after the Runner spends a lot of money thrasing Director Haas is hilarious, a couple of my opponents visibly complained about it even when the server was pretty weak. And Director Haas will often win games just because, which is great. I did a couple changes, though, mainly the metagame slots. I think that Wraparound is far more reliable than either of Crisium and Swordsman and useful in more matchups so I ran two. I also changed a couple numbers here and there based on personal preference. What I don't like of the deck is that you really have no way to pull foward if you are losing. If the Runner can get into your remote, you only really have Adonis and Eve to use as bait and if you are losing you really can't afford sacrifice them like this. The raw numbers are bad, too, you have 10+3 agendas and only 5+3 Jackson things to drop into your remote: you can't bluff hard enough. I really found myself wishing for an Aggressive Secretary to punish the Runner for running around. I also disliked Blue Level Cleareance for similar reasons. If you are winning, it often ends up being overkill, you either don't need the money or the cards. And if you are losing or agenda flooded, spending two clicks to draw more cards just to get 3c isn't great. I also missed another piece of big ICE. You have 3 Tollbooths, and you can rely on drawing two which will almost always go on different servers. But if they go to different servers and one gets Femmed or killed, you really don't have any replacement at hand. Still, I liked the decklist and it's very fun so I hope you keep playing it! Thanks for taking me to the Top 4 mate :) |

I agree 100% about wraparound and my current list is running 3x. Swordsman and Crisium were literally just last minute "I didn't practice against keyhole/eater" throw ins. Swordsman hit a couple Eaters, and I had an epic play where someone tried to siphon through an Architect that I used to install Crisium off the deck to fizzle the siphon. They did work, but wrapround is just better across all matchups. Maybe it's just a play style thing, but I absolutely love blue level clearance. In fact, I've played versions of this deck with blue level and no hedge. It lets me keep up the economic pressure on the runner at that point where we point went kinda broke because I spent money to rez an Asset and they spent money to trash it. It also draws me more cards to install which is important. I think I probably play this deck at a more fast and loose pace than the list/name suggests. I'll say probably somewhere around 30-40% of the agendas I score (that aren't fast advanced) the runner could have taken had they chosen to. I'm not really trying to build secure servers. I'm just trying to make everything annoying enough to run that the runner has to question the value of every run. You forgot to include the 4 upgrades as cards you can use to bluff with. So that's actually 12 unscorable things you can bluff with. Even if you consider Haas an agenda, it's basically a coin flip to the runner whether the card you installed an agenda or not. I'd say based on your feedback, you'd probably like my current list (I change this deck basically every few days). It's running 2x Tollbooth 2x Ichi 2.0, so it has your other big ice. Also, daily business show and reversed accounts are hilariously good in this deck. ;) Also currently testing a version with grail ice. It's been quite successful so far. Congrats on finishing top 4! It would have been epic to see Director Haas take another store champ. What was the size/length of the tournament? Would you mind publishing the list? |

I stored the cards, so I no longuer can check the full decklist but it's yours card for card except with Wraparound instead of the meta cards, -1 BLC +1 Eve. That's it :) The tournament had around 20 people on it, four rounds plus Top 4. I lost two swiss games (both with Stirling) and then lost again one with Stirling and another with this deck. Whether to run Ichi 2.0, Biotic Labour or AggSec is probably a playstyle choice, but I think it's important to run something like that. I also don't know how Mimic-infested your meta is, but it's everywhere in mine which made Caduceus and Architect sad =P |

Personally, I run both cadeucus and architect in various decks and although mimic is the most efficient permanent, non-switchblade breaker against it, Idon't mind when it hits the table against it. Architect is still a 2-credit breaker which is an okay ratio (better when you consider the +1 HB credit) and cadeucus is the same for even cheaper. You'd rather a femme breaker it for sure, but imho even if a high percentage of games see architect come out, they're still good ice to have. |
1 Mar 2015
Darkshift07
I started playing Architect and Caduceus together because no one was afraid of face checking against my deck, and both cards are annoying sentries early game that remain viable options even after mimic is played due to their cost/subroutine ratio. |

The annoying thing of course, is that the 2nd best HB ice (can't beat Eli) is actually better in the already strongest deck -- NEH fastro :) I think HB got the short straw in the lunar cycle personally, but I'm an HB fan-boy (who sadly, takes NEH to most SC's ...) |

How does this do against Stealth Andy? She's usually got tons of link, making the Vipers and Caduceus useless. |

I've been running off and on Director Haas out of The Foundry for the past year. I love splashing in Caprice; she's a bit of an influence hog, but it makes Director Haas just borderline stupid. Anyway, I really just wanted to say that Director Haas is my favorite corp card, and that you won an SC with her makes me as giddy as a schoolboy on a notschoolday. |

Not sure I follow the comment of stealth andy having tons of link. I not sure I've seen a build with a card slot that increases link so it's just the 1 and thus cadeucus and viper still 4 to beat both traces (but really, they'll run last click on viper so 2) which very good for a 3-cost ice. For a build that will really make your trace ice cry, look at Nordrunner's And4omeda build which tops out at 4-link (and always goes for 2). I was overwriting rezzed vipers in mid-game (and almost never do that ... stupid personal-touched yog). |

This list deliberately has a lot of traces in it because I did not anticipate encountering any high link runners in the tournament, and I didn't. With so many people playing new Anarch hotness, which (typically) runs no link, it was the correct meta call. Against decks with no link, the traces are incredibly annoying to deal with. If people around you are playing high link (no one in my local meta is playing that Andy deck currently), change your ice suite. It's a bad habit to play the same list card for card for a very long time anyway. This list is several versions old, but is still a solid foundation to build from. My current Director Haas deck has 39/49 of the same cards as this deck. |

I put a ELI, a toolboth and a Ash 2X3ZB9CY, and no one can trash all the Hass. A server segure, very expensive for all players. And is the trash it, you put another Director Hass and you win. |

Just wanted to say thinks for the post on this deck. Been running a version it in the last few store tournaments to great success. I ended up taking 1st place with is yesterday going 4-1, with the only loss coming on a tight game that could of gone either way. Most people didn't see the Haas coming and by the time I had it online and protected to with Ash there wasn't awhole they could do about it. Even if they do it usually breaks them. I had one runner pay 17 credits to get into and break it, breaking there bank and leaving me with a still secure scoring server the next couple turns. In the finals I didn't even see the Haas the whole game but still managed to pull out a close win with a high taxing deck that made stealing agendas difficult the whole time. Thanks again for sharing! |

One suggestion I have, and which I used in my Director Haas decks is to run only 1xDirector Haas, and put in 3 Executive Boot Camps. The runner is much less likely to hit her in r&d, and can fetch her with boot camp, aswell as use boot camp to rez stuff a bit cheaper) All my Director Haas builds have used boot camp and do a lot better. |
13 Mar 2015

1 Executive can save you from 1 Hass death, but the idea is to DRAIN the economy of the runner, so a full hand of HASS is a horrible idea. |

This deck is AWESOME. Took it to our local store champs yesterday and the deck went 3-1, with the only loss coming due to time being called. If it was a full game i'm certain I would have been able to get the win. Unfortunately my runner deck choice was terrible (Valencia deep dig) and I ended up 10th. But the performence of this deck was unquestionable, the current meta of runner means Director Haas is almost untouchable. Especially behind a Wraparound. I don't even remembe the last time anyone was able to trash a Haas |

This is close to the Haas deck I put together too, but I did go with Self Destruct. And I'm already pulling it based on this. Did you consider Daily Business Show? I love that card for ensuring that I get what I need, and that the runner can't get my agendas until I'm ready.... |
26 Mar 2015

Also, I played Utopia Fragment in place of Mandatory Upgrades. I feel like that's more useful in terms of stopping the thefts, but I worry that the 3 AP makes the deck riskier, since runners can take that and 2 2's, rather than 4 2's. |
I've always wanted to try a Director Haas based deck, but I find that Imp is very popular these days ( thank you NEH and Edward Kim archetype ). This changes the math for the runner on trashing high cost assets like Eve and Director Haas. What has been your experience facing imp and imp recursion? Thanks.
