The Mint Must Flow

Based off @ArminFirecracker’s 12 Strength Surveyor, 0 install cost. I fell in love with A Teia on release, but this decklist was the one that really made the ID a blast to play for me. I’ve since played this quite a bit at my local meets, but made a few tweaks:

• Thimblerig instead of Diviner
  • Is a gearcheck & ETR early unlike Attini
  • Helps with our positional ice value
  • Synergises with Tatu-Bola
  • Free to rez from Vovô Ozetti
  • Reduces the cost of Ivik
  • Because it can be moved around later, it's always a good install anywhere we need ice
  • Because Thimblerig can move them later, it means any other ice can be installed much more easily (especially our Surveyors)
  • Can move our expensive ICE inward as to avoid getting Hippo’d
• Simulation Reset instead of Attitude Adjustment
  • Cheaper on influence
  • Lets us recur more cards than just agendas
  • Combos with Spin Doctor for trashing agendas from hand AND instant recursion
• An extra Mavirus instead of Mindscaping
  • Great vs Conduit, Aumakua
  • Mindscaping did not appear useful except for generic filtered draw but not sure that's valuable enough
• An extra NGO Front instead of Regolith Mining License
  • It works really well with La Costa Grid as a fake 5/3 or just economy
  • It's also really decent just as a throwaway install on the smaller remote to trigger an ICE install
• A single Replanting instead of Anoetic Void
  • Fantastic for Icing R&D, which is where we struggle to build that strong Surveyor
  • Lots of great targets for picking up, including anything in the “short” remote server
  • In a pinch, allows us to reposition ICE
  • I found this more useful than Anoetic Void, which I rarely had the economy to fire
• A single Retribution instead of Attini
  • Our only tag punishment: useful if the runner sticks too many tags from Surveyor
  • I found that in most matchups, the runner will do this towards the end of the game, and so it can potentially win us the game if they aren’t expecting it
  • Much more effective than Mindscaping
• A single Magnet instead of Konjin
  • Great ICE for many reasons but also helps Ivik

Additional Musings:

• The correct way to play vs this deck is probably to save up and camp the remote
  • Preferably with Pinhole Threading so we don't waste a run on NGO Front
  • This deck dies pretty hard to Hush which solves Surveyor, Rime, Anansi
  • Boomerang and Botulus deals with Surveyor since they don't care about strength
  • Also weak to all Vovô Ozettis being trashed with Pinhole Threading or by Imp, Freedom, Maw
  • Basically, Pinhole Threading is really good
• Thimblerig does not trigger A Teia: IP Recovery, but Tatu-Bola does!
  • 1x Tatu-Bola protecting our non-glacier remote can reward us with free glacier-remote ICE installs when the runner runs it.
• Put Surveyor slightly inside on servers so that it can't be easily Inside Job'd, S-Dobrado'd, or Hippo'd.
  • Thimblerig can assist with this!
