Loyalty sounds like a great way to leverage the Stinson credits.
And, to get the runner into Stinson range.
It is. Even if you have to use your Consulting Visits it lets you thrash some major bs.
It doesn’t help much against Sifr Anarch, but it is great in almost every other matchup.
Thread has gone quiet. I thought I would share my current Weyland build that has been getting me some good games.

Its basically a pile of hate against the meta. Most of this stuff is anti-face check which you can punish with some combination of Ark, Archer, Taurus, Bulwark, Enforcing Loyalty and Best Defense (with Midseason Support).
Against Anarchs you can snipe breakers, plascrete and such with Ark, you can blow up Wyldside with Mills (or ditch bad pub and turn off blackmail).
Against Criminals you have Enforcing Loyalty to blow up out of faction stuff and Mills to torch the Sanctuary.
Shaper you have Taurus which punishes face check and lockdown.
A great play is just firing your enforcing loyalty from hand. It doesn’t require a run. You can just do it to put them in some nasty states.
Flex slots are preemptive, election day and maybe a boom. The deck feels a little light on ice and I am not sold on the suite.
Also you can cut the global foods and the blue level and run GRNDL for the lulz.
Trying it out with NASX today. I kind of just realized that you get two triggers per transaction thanks to babw’s id ability.
So on a double transaction turn you could hypothetically get a payout of four extra credits, on top of the normal payout.
And if it can be reasonably defended, you will get greater returns while you play the waiting game for your kill combo.

Took a modification of this using Midseasons to SC in Bloomington and was delightfully successful at bankrupting the Runner. However, Midseasons proved to be too extremely conditional with the agenda count, so I reverted to HHN and HBT to supplement a lack of actual retaliation for impulsive runners.
Quick question, runner facechecks a Hive and I use Marcus Batty to successfully fire an end the run, do the subs count as unbroken for Chief Slee purposes?
I think they won’t but would love a bit of jank Slee action.
They should, I think, as long as Batty is used during the encounter. She triggers on the encounter ending.
The runner encounters the ice at step 3 of the run, and the next paid ability window is at 3.1, during which the runner can use icebreakers. If it’s not an AOYCR run on the corp’s turn, the runner has a window to break Hive’s subroutines before the corp has a window to fire Batty (who can’t be rezzed in this step; he would have to have been rezzed at 2.3 at latest).
If, on the other hand, you rez and fire Batty in step 2.3, the runner is approaching the ice but has not yet encountered it, which means that there’s no encounter to end, so Slee’s ability doesn’t fire.
Great example of how following the steps in the rules helps clarify examples.
Rats. I was hoping for some sneaky Slee action.
Back to the drawing board.
Been seeing some rushy weyland decks pulling down some store championships.
Just wanted to say thanks to everyone for keeping up the good fight. Weyland’s day will come!

How does a 4 counter atlas sound? Pretty good to me
You are trolling Abram Jopp now, aren’t you?
if you are referencing something I don’t know what it is. I have just found ghost branch is a good way to shred aaron counters
Right now you pretty much have this and midseasons overspending to rip the heart out of Aaron.
That or Contract Killer and the upcoming Hunter-Seeker.
Also, Voter Intimidation is a pretty good call.
Sorry. I’ve been reading Abram’s long arguments over Mushin No Shin. Lots of people bashing him for not liking it. My apologies for assuming some connection there.
The Church of the Meat apparently has a new temple.
