One Beale to Rule them All

cpsubrian 167

Crazy Concept. Just score one Beale. Thats your only goal. Granted, you have to get 13 counters on it. Everything in this is geared toward that goal. Let them have every other agenda. R&D and HQ get all the pop-up, data rave, matrix. Put a couple ETR and nisei on ur remote and start pumping and praying :) If you fail ... try again :)

where's the Midseasons?

Midseasons + Psycho takes a lot of $$ . I didn't think I'd have enough .. and I don't intend to score in one turn .. I intend to advance over like 3-4 turns .. ideally more like 3 if they run into some matrix. I certainly thought about mid tho, and it would take playtesting to see how the money flows.

Like the ideal is 5-6 legit advance .. 3-4 matrix advance .. psycho the rest from raven/matrix tags. Like I said .. crazy concept :)

I think the deck is an interesting idea, but could use some tuning. If your planning on winning on turn 5 or 6 Tollbooth seems like an expensive piece of ice to have to rez. I would probably focus on a cheaper ETR like icewall. Rototurret might be a good choice in this deck as well to get rid of those pesky breakers. Also, consider chimera, I know it is expensive to keep paying for each turn, but its flexibility might mesh well with your scoring concept. You also might want to consider ditching the celebrity gifts and go with restructures, and use that influence for cards like biotic labor and trick of light to speed things up. Ghost branch + trick of light might combo well for this deck design also.

@Castings Some good ideas there. You are right that tollbooth is expensive, but it also leads into failed Red Herrings pretty well. One possibility is RSVP, which works better with Nisei. I think you're absolutely right that the influence spend on Gift is wasted, and switching it out for other econ is probably preferable.

One thing I've been wrestling with is the agenda density here. If you include fast track, 14 cards are agenda related. On the other hand, 6 of them I want them to steal (for the tempo slowdown) and breaking news is only 1 point.

Any thoughts on the ideal # of ice here? Perhaps pop-up is a luxury I can't afford. If I -3 pop-up and switch tollbooth for RSVP, then I can sneak in some chimera or roto.

Also, I admit turn 5 is probably too optimistic .. but turn 6 or 7 seems quite doable.

Working on a V3 here: http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/4238/one-beale-to-rule-them-all-v3-0-

Reworked econ to include green-level and blue-level. Added 2 jackson. Cheaper ice. I think it will be more consistent (but easier to break, specifically worried about shapers with lots of tutor).
