Magic Advance V.2

decoylogan 8

A slight redo of the deck posted earlier. This deck focuses on a pseudo fast advance style.

You can advance cards in 3 different ways:

  1. Have the runner pass through Matrix Analyzer to pump advancement tokens onto an Ice Wall, Woodcutter or Plan B. Move those tokens over to a 3/2 agenda that you have installed and advanced once with Trick of Light and score it. If they chose not to run you get a free token anyways.

  2. Install Plan B and advance twice. Either they will access it allowing you to score Clone Retirement from your hand or they will leave it alone (fearing a Project June Bug, Snare!, Shock! or Ronin) and you can Trick of Light the advancement tokens to another agenda.

  3. Show them a to-good-to-be-true Medical Breakthrough from your hand lowering the score cost of other Medical Breakthroughs if they score it. Likewise, you could bait a Medical Breakthrough in an unprotected remote server.

Some of the ice is interchangeable. If you want protection against face checking, adding some Shinobis or Neural Katanas helps.

Toshiyuki Sakai can be swapped in if you want to flat-line a runner with a Junebug or Ronin from your hand. Likewise, you can swap out some assets or operations for a couple of Snares if you want some killing potential.

Criticism and comments welcomed.

I'm not really digging the Woodcutter. You have to pay through the nose to rezz it, and then build it up. All the while it really does nothing, and is really vulnerable to Parasite. I can see that you can advance it with the ID, but I still think it's mediocre. I'd rather have a Reclamation Order to bring back the Trick Of Lights if neccessary. Perhaps Bring in a Shadow for the last influence, it can be advanced, is a good early taxing ICE and can sometimes give you a little gold. But I like it overall. Looks really fun, and also quite nervewrecking it play :)

I was planning to put in a Reclamation Order and Shadow sound like a good idea as it can be advanced will derezzed. Thanks.
