The image makes it look like we selected Clone Retirement.
Corp:
Character Assassination is worse than our existing 2/4s, which are potential cuts.
Posted Bounty is useful with Scorched Earth but without double Scorch is a problematic play.
Experiential Data could be an interesting bluff, and it certainly taxes the runner. Upgrades are good and I hope we get another look at this one later.
Archived Memories enables a Double Scorch if the Runner starts playing tag-me.
Psychographics wants a bunch of other cards that we do not have.
Pop-up Window is my favourite Ice in the game and a brilliant economy card. We already have one and a second would generate a larger, more reliable windfall. Also increases our chances of getting an early pop-up - this card isn’t nearly as good to play later in the game.
Ichi 1.0 is an excellent piece of Ice but we have already have his brother who I like more.
Tollbooth is one of the best pieces of Ice out there, and I think finding and paying for the Femme to deal with it in draft won’t be easy. I hesitate to think what was taken before this.
Runner:
Running Interference is interesting but potentially a dead draw if the Corp has already rezzed their expensive Ice.
The original Tinkering pick has turned out to be something of a waste given the AI only strategy. We don’t need a second.
Dyson Mem Chip is less useful than Akamatsu and I think our MU situation is under control. We should probably break down our MU constraints more specifically.
Let’s assume we find Djinn absolutely last:
Base MU + Spinal Modem + Akamatsu = 6 MU
Crypsis + Knight/Darwin + Atman + Datasucker + Magnum Opus = 6 MU
That’s a pretty solid rig, with Knight and Darwin getting space depending on the situation. Knight probably won’t last forever anyway, and Sharpshooter/SMC are likewise transient. We can always trash Magnum Opus for Keyhole if we want to go aggro, and with anything resembling good timing with Djinn we can keep Datasucker + Keyhole/SMC sitting on it. If we see Wraparound the answer probably isn’t Aurora, but Knight, which is already accounted for.
Prepaid VoicePAD helps us with 4 events. Best case scenario is that it saves 2 credits. Pass.
Rabbit Hole on its own is expensive Link. If we wanted Link we would have drafted Access to Global Sec earlier.
Grifter is a destitute man’s Desperado. The idea of gaining a credit each turn is swell but the tempo hit from playing it and paying for it is difficult to justify.
Underworld Contact is largely unplayable without base link.
Garrote is a hell of a breaker but would require additional MU we don’t have. Maybe we could squeeze it in if we didn’t have Datasucker, but if the Djinn is on the bottom of the stack the rig becomes Garrote, Magnum Opus, Atman, Datasucker with no room left for Crypsis/Darwin/Knight/Keyhole. The ideal situation isn’t much better - Garrote, Atman, Crypsis, Knight, Djinn - with Datasucker and Magnum Opus on the Djinn - making it impossible to play Magnum Opus and Keyhole at the same time in the late game. Squeezing in SMC without trashing things would also be a frequent issue. This is without getting into the issue of the hefty install cost.
With no great choices, I say we take the Dyson Mem Chip in order to allow ourselves more flexible choices later.
