Anything over a 0 would only make sense if it was a resource instead of a current and didn’t blow up when the corp scored something.
Heck, it’d probably make more sense as a resource-connection, period.

I also think this is just JPG artifacting. A 0 makes sense and actually makes the current semi-playable. A 9 is god aweful and not worth the ink and cardboard it is printed with.

Haha, I mean, they wouldn’t go THAT far. But if a Corp was rich enough, they could potentially keep Sunny from gaining money, and that’s interesting.
Thoughts on this?

But FFG has made many god-awful cards before, why should this be different?

here are my thoughts:
do you really need the Rabbit Holes? i love them, but you’re not using Security Chip or anything, so once your link gets to a certain point, it doesn’t really help that much anymore, especially with Power Tap
i’m also unsure about the 2x Feedback Filter
i’m loving the 3x The Source though. i started putting a Sunny deck together recently and started with that.
i don’t know if i love it without Film Critic though, given the extra cost to yourself stealing agendas and just relying on Fall Guys to keep them up on steals and scores. the extra copies are nice to keep them available, but that again costs more money, 5c for the first agenda, and 3c + a Fall Guy for every agenda after that
i don’t have the new pack yet, but Turning Wheel as your only multi-access is probably fine, but i think i’d want to include more than 1 copy
i’d also probably try for more Datasuckers
and with Earthrise Hotel as your only card draw acceleration and no tutors, how often are you finding your breakers in time? i’m always importing Special Order, but perhaps i don’t need to as much
I would rather remain optimistic about my x1 support card in the entire cycle for a mini-faction, rather than be pessimistic. Especially since my perception solidly says its a 0 trace, rather than a 9.
Also a 9 trace would make the card the worst runner current in the game, even worse than Maintenance.
When you have tons of MU, Net Shield > Feedback Filter. Also, you are going to end up being very slow with this kind of list, as Turning Wheel doesn’t really help Sunny where she needs it. Also, when you have the Source, Film Critic is necessary.

You have 8 cards (3x Rabbit Hole, 3x Power Tap, 2x Hopper) that potentially don’t do anything until you install Nexus. If you install enough of them, you can blank Archangel, which is nice, but you’ve probably lost to a Wraparound / Quandary server by then. By contrast, the only link card in Connections is a singleton Access to Globalsec, and that has been pretty much perfect.
I think a lot of times, you’ll draw Rabbit Hole long before you’re ready to install Nexus, and you’ll have to choose whether you want to spend an early 6 on hardware that does nothing or wait until you install Nexus, at which point you may have drawn 2 or even 3 Rabbit Hole. In this situation, they’re just expensive Access to Globalsec.
Unlike in Connections, you probably do want to play the Current, since it will trigger Power Tap.
Jak Sinclair and Globalsec Security Clearance are both good cards; you should play them. Especially if you’re playing Turning Wheel (so you can Jak off of central server EtR for a counter) and the Current (since you can drop it when you know it will trigger once b/c of GSC).
Symmetrical Visage isn’t; don’t.

Actually, Dr. Lovegood works just as well as Film Critic for The Source purposes, and keeps you Stealing the agenda for Current purposes…

Thats fair
You might want to be grabbing TFP’s “While you’re at it” with that influence dot.
Probably meta dependent.

So it might not be super important, but at least it’s nice that it’s confirmed that it’s not Sunny and Pat’s kids on Ramujan-reliant 550 BMI. They might look similar to the Another Paycheck kids, but they’re different.
Also that Sunny would never subject her kids to those pieces of crap, and would actually spend some cash on good hardware.
Best mom.

Now that’s a good reason.
Ooh! And re-reading The Turning Wheel, putting an accessed agenda onto Film Critic will also get you a counter onto the Wheel… So that’s good, too.

Clever!
Turning Wheel and Jak were already so good, now this seems super good.
Just bringing this back up from the deeps because Patron/Jak is freaking amaze-balls for card draw. As long as you actually draw Patron, at least. Ended up running this deck over the weekend for a Regionals, and while I may have gotten kicked in the junk a ton by NEH FA, it’s definitely nice to actually get set up and rolling faster.
Really tempted to stick some Turning Wheels in there for multi-access (DLR’s definitely interesting and weird, but havn’t had a lot of luck with it yet though) and some Hostages to actually get the Patron in play faster.

If Sunny ever gets the means to kick fast advance in the stones, she might have enough oomph to be able to work.
Or if my suspicions prove to be true and Merger is going to be the 3/2 replacer after rotation.
I just wish Sunny could do more to stem the tide. Jak really helps in NEH matchups.
Whats wrong with source fc?
you have to find the source and be able to protect it before they score their first astro.
Not necessarily - the source still slows down the train even if it is installed in the mid game. Unfortunately, unlike clot it isn’t a hard stop on fa, but it forces them to find/pay for additional tools.
