Bagbiter's Game Day

Bifurcator 7

Set up with Kati into Theophilius. Get more money with Account Siphon/New Angeles City Hall, Dirty Laundry/Security Testing/Bankjob and so on. The proceed to draw your whole deck at once with Game Day. Once you scored 4 points, Early Bird into Doppelgänger and one more run to score 3 Notoriety in one turn.

Very gimmicky, but fun if it works out.

Oh,... and beware the dog (Komainu is evil!)

I like the idea of Bagbiter + Game Day. But if you're afraid of Komainu...why not 3x Fairies? Maybe -2x quality time, -1x notoriety, +1x Game Day, -1x security testing, +3x Fairies.

Thanks for the comment, I agree Fairies are good for that. I actually have one in my deck, but must have missed it here... probably more would not be a bad choice either. Not sure how to fit in 3 though. I guess I could drop one Early Bird.

I would like to keep the Notoriety to win from 4 points. Also, Quality Time adds more consistency for when you don't get Kati and Theophilius/Hostage in your opening hand. And its much better for the early draws than Game Day, especially since you should have enough money anyways, but Game Day would only net ~3 cards.

I'd rather look into some other (permanent) Sentry breakers as well.

Well, 1 out of 4 factions WILL lock you out then. Jinteki almost always carries Komainu and you'll end up paying 15+ credits to break it with Femme or worse with Crypsis, just to hold on to the cards you picked up by playing Bagbiter + Game Days/Quality times. What about -1x Crypsis, -1x sec testing, -1x Alias for 3x Fairie? Alias is not better than Femme breaking the usual Architects on centrals. I'd rather go Ninja than Alias but in any case...Komainu will still destroy you if you won't bring Fairies.

I admittedly don't even remember why I thought Crypsis was a good idea. My reasoning for Alias was I wanted a cheaper-to-install Killer. But I think going

-1x Crypsis,

-1x Security Testing (not sure I like this, but it works fine without),

-1x Alias,

-1x Special Order (since you have all your cards in hand anyways)

+3x Faerie,

+1x Garotte or Ninja (not sure which is better, neither is cheap)

is a good idea. And then you hopefully don't have to run through Komainu too often. I mostly see it as a 1-of, rarely a full set of 3.

Another possible swap: drop an Early Bird and/or another Special Order for Desperado or something else. Not sure about this though.
