Artificial Brain Sponge (Start Up)

Ladar 205

The goal of this deck is grind the runner out with runs by making them continually run porus bioroid protected servers.

You want to have between 2-3 remotes that are protected by 1-2 ice, and then every turn place 1-3 asset in the iced servers. The runner has to check the server paying in clicks and credits, or bad things happen. But until late game the runner can usually get in.

When the runner passes a Bioroid Ice, you simply Rez another piece of Ice on another Server letting you keep all your servers iced. The runner usually know what ice they are facing but not what is behind them.

Hopefully the runner runs out of resources allowing you gain money from your assets to make the ice thicker and thicker until they can't check any server anymore and you score Agenda' either from hand or cause they can't run anymore.

Synergies

1.) Fully Operational really make the deck work. With one server it's a flexible card, two servers it's better then a Hedge Fund, with 3 servers it's the best card in the game.

2.) Vladisibirsk City Grid is included because if you score a Project Vitruvius with it, you can return a Fully Operational or a Biotic Labor to your hand, you can score a Midnight-3 Arcology from hand and it both bluffs as a Project Vacheron and make it possible to score from hand under certain circumstances. It's a late game card, not early.

3.) Élivágar Bifurcation is a great last point Agenda, but it also synergies with Nico Campaign, Marilyn Campaign, Spin Doctor and sometime Hákarl 1.0

4.) Hákarl 1.0 and Trieste Model Bioroids makes it so the runner can't break a single ice with either clicks or cards if you Derez a card. In this deck if you Derez a Nico Campaign, Marilyn Campaign, or a Spin Doctor it's often an advantage.

5.) Don't hesitate to derez a Trieste Model Bioroids to move it to another server or another Hákarl 1.0 if your rich. Because Hákarl 1.0 can derez Trieste Model Bioroids the safest place for the Trieste Model Bioroids is usually behind Týr

5.) Bass CH1R180G4 plays well with your ability and let's you score Agendas from hand.

Piloting:

It's more important that you have lightly iced remotes than iced central server early game. Depending on what cards I started with, it's not uncommon to make 2 remote servers before icing centrals. Obviously if the Runner can punish a central ice that one ASAP.

You should never have an open server mid game. Runners keep stacking cards that give them benefits for successful runs. Make sure they pay for each one.

Always play ice in pairs if you can. When the runner passes a Bioroid Ice it's like getting a hedge fund that you have to spend right now on rezing another ice. Make sure you can use those credits

Smart Runner won't pass a Bioroid Ice after you rezzed it, and then run another remote so you can't use your free money. Don't count on the runner giving you credits try to force them into bad situations.

Fully Operational can refill you hand, you should be spamming assets and that requires cards.

Weaknesses:

The deck is best when the runner is running into your Bioroid every turn, but it can be weak against decks where the runner is making few but very powerful runs. If they're not running your remotes try to get an economic advantage through your assets and rush.
