(there are some old Astrobiotics threads, but I figured I’d make a new one)
Recently I’ve been playing:
Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center (Upstalk)
Agenda (11)
3x AstroScript Pilot Program (Core Set)
2x Breaking News (Core Set)
3x NAPD Contract (Double Time)
3x Project Beale (Future Proof)
Asset (8)
2x Daily Business Show (All That Remains)
3x Jackson Howard (Opening Moves)
3x PAD Campaign (Core Set)
Upgrade (3)
3x SanSan City Grid (Core Set)
Operation (12)
3x Biotic Labor (Core Set) ••••• ••••• ••
3x Fast Track (Honor and Profit)
3x Hedge Fund (Core Set)
3x Sweeps Week (True Colors)
Barrier (6)
3x Eli 1.0 (Future Proof) •••
3x Wraparound (Fear and Loathing)
Code Gate (7)
1x Enigma (Core Set)
3x Pop-up Window (Cyber Exodus)
3x Quandary (Double Time)
Sentry (2)
1x Architect (Up and Over) ••
1x Dracō (What Lies Ahead)
The only cards I am not sure about:
- Daily Business Show - I’ve gone back and forth between this and Marked Accounts.
- Fast Track #3 - might be overkill, especially with 2 DBS
- Architect, Draco, Quandry #3, Enigma - Architect is a great card, but cutting it would let you run 2 1-influence ice (e.g. Lotus Field, Rototurret). I played Guard instead of Draco for a long time but almost never wanted to rez it. Making the code gates more heavy duty (maybe a 2nd Enigma, or 1 Tollbooth) would improve your ability to tax the runner, but man do I love Quandry’s 1 rez cost.
I’ve also messed around with TWIY*:
NBN: The World is Yours* (Future Proof)
Agenda (10)
3x AstroScript Pilot Program (Core Set)
2x Breaking News (Core Set)
2x NAPD Contract (Double Time)
3x Project Beale (Future Proof)
Asset (3)
3x Jackson Howard (Opening Moves)
Upgrade (3)
3x SanSan City Grid (Core Set)
Operation (15)
3x Biotic Labor (Core Set) ••••• ••••• ••
3x Fast Track (Honor and Profit)
3x Hedge Fund (Core Set)
3x Shipment from SanSan (Second Thoughts)
3x Sweeps Week (True Colors)
Barrier (3)
3x Wraparound (Fear and Loathing)
Code Gate (7)
1x Enigma (Core Set)
3x Pop-up Window (Cyber Exodus)
3x Quandary (Double Time)
Sentry (3)
3x Dracō (What Lies Ahead)
Lady and Astrolabe are the motivation for this deck: Eli and new remotes suck against them, so you drop them in exchange for a smaller deck (plus the surprisingly good 6 card handsize). I eventually switched back to NEH because Eli is just too good against decks without Lady, but this is still a solid deck.
So, what do you think the best Astrobiotics build is right now?
