Why no v1.1? Well the Ice was going to die in a fire to any deck packing Atman or gawds forbid Atman + Datasucker... ugh. I also had a Mother Goddess in it but found that I did not need hard ETR. I want the Runner to be taxed and poor when they hit my ambushes.
New Cards added since v.1.0:
* Philotic Entanglement. Another way to put the hurt on the Runner or Never Advance threat when on 5 or 6 AP. Can always be put back as a 2nd Nisei MK II.
* Cerebral Cast replaces SEA Source. There is nothing funnier than the Runner trying to keep up economically to stay out of SEA Source + Scorched Earth range only to be faced with the choice of a Tag or Brain Damage. Plus I can reoccur it with Archived Memories.
* An Offer You Can't Refuse. Terrible card, right? Um, score one Dedicated Neural Net and suddenly Snare! + Scorched Earth will kill you dead. Snare! + The All-Seeing I will wipe out all Resources. They take the run and deny you the AP, pull it back with Archived Memories and do it again. This card replaces the "fun" of packing Self-destruct but way more versatile and more likely to land.
* Wraparound. A great tech card in today's meta. Very surprising and works well with Lotus Field.
* Tsurugi. An experiment. Not been tested yet in play. It may become a 2nd Lotus Field.

I love Tsurugi in my Tennin deck. Ends the run, punishes facechecks (rarely) but most importantly it taxes for four against almost anything. Femme it? Mongoose? Mimic or Shrike? that'll be 4. Faust? 4 cards. It's just very reliable. |

An Offer You Can't Refuse: so what you're telling me is that, score one 1-pointer and get a second for 4 credits, as long as I have Snare! and Scorched Earth in hand? Sooooo... 2 points for 7 credits some of the time? Remind me why I'm not running Braintrust? You are really, really relying on your opponent not giving you the point. |

My apologies for not seeing this earlier! Really humbled by the fact you used my deck as your shell (and I love the name too!) I honestly love the fact that you put some of the cards that I ended up putting in the deck in my newer versions. Says a lot about the mindset of Nisei players. I would love to know your opinion and experience on the following though:
Once again, awesome to see this! |

Short Answers: Archived Memories & Caprice Nisei: I really, really like the versatility of AM. It just took double Scorch off the table for the most part and I didn't have the tools I need to threaten consistently enough. I wound up using them to bring back Upgrades so i could score out. I took your advice and went to 3 Caprice and 2 HG. I like your Batty choice better. Cerebral Cast: This was an experiment to see if I could regain the influence spent on SEA Source. I figured if it didn't land I could AM it back to my HQ and try again. Mixed results. Nisei needs a good balance of consistency and variance and I felt like this card tipped the deck too far towards variance. I will say that Au Reviour Andy makes a mockery of SEA Source and will manhandle this deck, Batty would go a long way towards making that more painful. Maybe. An Offer You Can't Refuse: Again, an experiment card. Didn't land well with DNN but it might have some legs with Archives loaded with Shock! giving you a potential 3rd 1 pointer. ICE: I play in a super heavy Faust meta. 2x Swordsman was probably overkill. I went down to 1x in my 1.3 build, but I would get rid of it if I was playing Batty vs. Hokusai Grid. Tsurugi was another experiment, never factored in play. Was planning to replace Lotus Field with Mother Goddess for the hard stop ability with Upayoga. |
I enjoy seeing your revisions as a fellow player trying to represent Nisei! I may give Tsurugi a try too.
