Architect, Troubleshooter, Self Destruct, 3x as many credits as runner.
Midseasons, Pyschographics, Government Takeover. Fast Tracks and Hostile Takeovers for support and the final agenda point. Season to taste with Punitive and Scorched. This probably works better with Project Bealeā¦

Anyone know how The Board interacts with Punitive?
Say you dump six 2-pointers into the Archives and they steal them with The Board rezzed.
Does Punitive deal 12 damage, or is it adjusted and deals 6?
If itās 12 then thereās a jank deck in there for sure.

Punitive:
Trace5ā If successful, do meat damage to the Runner equal to the number of agenda points on agendas he or she stole during his or her last turn.
The agendas they stole the last turn have a point value recorded on them, but the board adjusts it down:
Each agenda in the Runnerās score area is worth 1 fewer agenda point.
So, I think you only deal 6.
But Punative doesnāt reference how much theyāre worth. It references the number of points on the agendas.

Yes, but I really believe the board adjusts that value.
Ask Lukas; Incoming FAQ entry. 
But 1000 whoselinepoints says Iām right.

Iām inclined to agree with you, but Iāve sent it to Lukas anyway.
Speaking of Jank, I took the 54 card version of Crazy Train that you played a bit to SCās. It did well on the day. I think it just plays badly when youāre streaming it.
Like a cat, it only fails when observed on the internet.
Are you certain this works? My understanding of:
āTrash all cards installed in or protecting this server and traceXā
is that if you canāt do all of it, you donāt do any. So, an Architect actually prevents the server from going up in smoke.
Then again, there might be some CoC logic involved here, as thatās how it works there, maybe Iām just confused.
Iām sure you can still resolve effects even if they canāt resolve the entire effect. Playing Diesel with 2 cards in your stack draws 2 cards, not nothing.

I am not at all sure that it works, but I believe that it does.
The ātrash all cards installed in or protectingā isnāt part of the cost of activating the ability, but a side effect.
In my head - you pop the troubleshooter to ensure that the architect firesā¦ then pop the self destruct for a trace 0 (because no cards are trashed - since architect can not be)ā¦ 2nd routine on architect installs the self destruct from archives, and then you pop it again at step 4.1 before the runner can jack out at 4.2.

Seems legit to me.
Legitimately jank. Maybe it needs to be behind Data Raven and UCF to actually have a chance to fire.
Did somebody say High Risk Investment in Titan?

My only question is why stop at 6 net damage. Stack more Architects on that server, and you can do up to 12 net damage this way. Whirpool on top prevents them from jacking out.
Orā¦ everyoneās playing Mimic to break sentries, right? So all you really need is Experiential Data in there and then some more copies of Self Destruct or Experiential Data in the top 5 cards of R&D to re-install with Architectās 1st subroutine. Nothing a little Precognition canāt set up.

And now weāve gone from āaccidentally awesome because you only need legitimately good cards and one self-destructā to ādeck full of stuff put in there specifically for this one purposeā
