Saikron 37

The goal of this deck is to use The Twins, The Foundry, and bioroid ICE to deal really early brain damage. If you can deal 2-4 brain damage during the first few turns, then the possibility that you have Jacksoned/drawn trashed ICE back into your hand throws off runner math and can make it too risky to run without a complete rig and a huge credit pool.

Yes, Zed 1.0 is cheap to break, but can I pass it 3 times?

I chose operation econ, because my dream victory is flatlining by rezzing Janus, tutoring Janus, and discarding Janus for the equivalent of "Take 8 brain damage or click 8 times." I need 15 credits and a rezzed The Twins ASAP for that.

I'm not 100% satisfied with SanSan, but I think it does give me an alternate win condition and it follows my general strategy of having one super dangerous remote.

I haven't tested the deck yet, and I'm anticipating it being rough sailing at first. It will take a lot of experience to know when to install ICE and when to go for the throat by trashing ICE with The Twins.

Why you use Sweeps Week? It has anti-synergy with brain damage, I think.

@pinksky It definitely does, but I'm not sure of a faster way to get credits to prepare for Janus flatline. After 1 or 2 brain damage, Beanstalk Royalties is strictly better, so I'm still thinking about how to shift the influence around if I switch to Beanstalk.

@HollowsHeart Oh! Thanks, forgot about Restructure. I think with Profiteering I run the risk of making some of my ICE free to break, but it might be exactly what I need if the taxing strategy is out the window and I'm going straight for the flatline.

Zed 1.0 with the twins is fucking awesome!!!!!!!

Also to consider is Gyri Labyrinth , which can flatline once some brain damage is already in the mix, and unlike Zed 1.0 doesn't have to be put behind something else.
