Untested/Non-competitive Decklist MegaThread

Someone help me put this to rest. So I’ve spent a few days trying to figure out a 7-point Power Shutdown combo that minimizes dead draws, coming up with the following pile. Unfortunately, it’s still awful and uses about 4 influence too much with MWL by my reckoning. The list itself is pretty insubstantial atm; a pile of economy and token defenses/anti-clot tech. The important bits are:

3 Astroscript Pilot Program
1 SanSan City Grid
1 Team Sponsorship
3 Jackson Howard
1 Biotic Labor
3 Accelerated Diagnostics
1 Reclamation Order
1 Power Shutdown
2 Interns
1 Shipment from SanSan
(1 Subliminal Messaging)
(1 Reuse)

Assuming no prior assets installed, with Accelerated Diagnostics on hand (using JH to stack the empty library, naturally):

*Install Jackson
*Power Shutdown
AD -> Interns (Jackson Howard), Reclamation Order (Accelerated Diagnostics), Biotic Labor (+)
****AD -> Interns (Jackson Howard), Interns (SanSan City Grid), Biotic Labor (+
)
*****AD -> Interns (Team Sponsorship), Interns (Astroscript Pilot Program), Shipment from SanSan
Score Astroscript, Team Sponsorship another Astroscript on SanSan
******Advance Astroscript
*******Advance Astroscript
Score Astroscript, TS the third one on SanSan
Use both Astroscript counters to score final 'script, TS whatever 2/1 on SanSan
Use final Astrocounter, count to 7, win.

Subliminal Messaging and Reuse obviously aren’t used in the combo proper, but helps cut corners if I end up with Interns/assets on hand (SM can install a single asset from hand at a premium by replacing interns in the main sequence, Reuse can trash combo pieces stranded in my hand under specific circumstances (preinstalled Jackson etc)). I guess Disposable HQ can replace reuse somewhat in caseI want that lone influence. Shipment from Mirrormorph would likely be better but the main combo parts already eats up 16 influence.

…Which brings me to my main gripe; having no way to reliably see Power Shutdown soon enough due to it being a 1-of for influence reasons (well, that and needing 22 credits and 3 specific cards on hand to combo out cold, but I digress). The Future is Now and Lily Lockwell are the only ways I can think of offhand to tutor for it, and if I can already tag the runner or score 1/3’s, why do I need a bigass combo finish? This is a shame, since with the exception of reclamation order and the diagnostics the other involved cards are pretty useful in their own right and plays into the standard astrotrain/bullshit NBN plan. Can anyone think of a way to save influence? Repeal the MWL? I’ve already spent enough time overthinking this. Halp?

Jeeves Model Bioroids. I’m too tired to contribute more meaningfully.

I’k not sure what exactly is the idea you want, but if it is AD/Shutdown combo out of NBN, I think the way to go is scoring a big Project Beale. Something like this:

SYNC (small deck to get combo pieces faster)
3 Astro, 3 Beale, 2 GFI (runner needs to find half of your agendas to win)
3 Diagnostics, 3 Shutdown, 3 Jackson, 3 Shipment from SanSan as main combo parts
some combination of Gutenberg, Raven, Popup, Wraparound, Resistor - cheap and doing decent job to slow down the runner
event economy (last influence point is likely a Green Level)
Interns, Subliminal, Psycho, Closed Accounts, Cyberdex as support pieces

I think Brahman is quickly becoming one of my favorite Shaper breakers. I put together a Professor deck that seeks to leverage Brahman to reset D4v1d and the Cerberus breakers, John Massanori to instantly draw it back (or SMC to pull it out), and Savoir-Faire to play more programs mid run. Your Medium fueled R&D assault is further augmented by Parasite recursion. Sports Hopper is either scorch protection or more card draw depending on your match ups. All this is backed up by the on demand econ power of MOpus and the continual bouncing to build up massive Tech Writers. 4 NetChips and an Astrolabe (or Maya) provide the memory to keep the full rig up and running.

This looks like a good idea for a fun deck til you realize it has one fatal flaw.

Notes are on NDB. Ideal start is
Tech Writer → Bazaar → Replicator [draw second replicator] → spy camera [install the other 5 spy cameras].

…but this doesn’t happen very often :slight_smile:

Once your deck has been thinned, your econ comes from events and 12 consumer grades you sell for 3 credits per turn to Aesops. If you have multiple tech writers out for your big installs, even better. Levy lets you stick it out for longer. Spy Camera is great for making targeted runs on R&D. if you are on the R&D lock plan, remember you can fire them after the corp’s mandatory draw: either you know what’s on top for an R&D hit on your turn, or they click-draw and you know what’s in HQ.

It might be better in Hayley to accelerate setup if you don’t get a bazaar, or better in CT to accelerate setup by making the combo easier to put together, but I like that Kate has the ability to dig a little at the beginning and still install bazaar + replicator + aesops without going too broke.

This deck is such delicious jank. It needs optimization, but it is a blast to play.

A deck that blends the “Xanatos Gambit” deck with “Beale or No Beale” (which I didn’t know was a deck until it was pointed out to me). Play Xanatos out of yellow with Junebugs and Overwriters. Media Blitz a Puppet Master to get more counters on either a trap or Beale. Score over advanced beales.

So I want to bring back PE, and was excited about Bio-Ethics Association, as it makes unadvanced remotes a threat. Bio-Ethics plus Chairman Hiro really supports your Neural EMP’s for a surprise kill, and we have the regular Ronin/Agenda versus Junebug PE is known for.

Inspired by the release of Consulting Visit, I have been having some success on Jinteki (I know, I know) with a super rushy GRNDL with Midseasons. Being able to have 5 effective copies of Midseasons is just huge for the consistency, meaning that I can often install naked Oaktowns turn 2. My list is the following:

Let me be clear: as it stands, I will not claim this is an amazing deck. I think its biggest problems as of now are the following:

  • Difficulties dealing with Film Critic - this is why the (tutorable!) Snatch & Grab is here.
  • Difficulties dealing with a Noise who understands the plan and calmly Imps every agenda - this and Medium digs is why CVS is here.
  • No real late game - once the Runner gets their econ running and the ability to break cheap binary ice, the game is over

However, there are lots of things I thought would be problems which just aren’t. For example, I thought it would be easy for the Runner to just let me score 5 points in peace, catch up in econ and then win. While that definitely happens, the inclusion of Posted Bounty gives me a way to force the issue. I rarely do this as the first agenda, but after a Profiteering or an Oaktown, it does work.

I don’t know if this is actually that good. But it’s super fun to play. Do you like making money by scoring agendas, and not by spamming assets? Try it. Games are fairly quick, and pretty fun. There are lots of changes which can be made. The deck can play more ice and focus more on traditional Supermodernism scoring behind ice, or it can play SEA Source for an alternate way of killing. It can be a core Weyland or it can be some other faction entirely. My main point is that Consulting Visit is absolutely huge for kill decks.

It combines gear check Rush with the Heritage Committee+Mutate combo. So far I haven’t played enough games to see whether the combo is a worthwhile avenue. I have hard-rezzed Archers and they are extra devastating in this format. The anti-synergy with Breakthrough is a bit awkward, though. That said, I love this agenda suite. There may actually be too much money here; haven’t played enough to feel safe trimming economy.

@ErikTwice this is the build I’ve been playing. It is BB45 so there are limitations here. Snare is banned, otherwise I would play it over Shock. Caprice is banned, but Batty may be better anyway. I’m not sure what the deck would look like in the standard meta; I have been preoccupied with the BB45 mindset. I’ll leave the tweaking to others! Keep in mind, Parasite doesn’t exist in this deck’s meta, nor do SMC or Inside Job, for example. Rushing behind Vanilla in the early game is very viable.

Gonna start testing this as soon as I have my hands on Sandburg.

Would like anyone’s input who is familiar with BB45 format. My other idea is to run this shell in Gagarin, and import 3 Bronze 3 Silver and 1 Gold, getting the Jeeves for free. You play Capital Investors instead of Melange. It’s probably better, but I wanted to play some NEXT. Also you can’t play Troubleshooter in Gagarin (with that influence spread). They may be overkill, anyway. I see the Gagarin version’s issue being tempo. Another idea I’m considering is Chimera, who rez for only 1c after a single ISE.

Here is the Gagarin version, which also packs Punitive threat.

In my experience Advanced Concept Hopper is far worse in practice than in theory. I would try Corporate War if you want a second cash agenda.

Hopper is actually primarily for the card draw. I find it very strong for that purpose.

You think so? I found it weak even if you draw, specially in glacier-ish builds :frowning:

Any potential for a classic AOA style out of Omar? Granted I tried to squeeze the DLR into this build, but this may be the first direction I try with Keung. I am super excited for this Runner and Console.

Spooned can hopefully be swapped with Black Orchestra, but I’m not sure what the card does yet. One Hacktivist could maybe be a Rumor Mill. MAE could maybe be Inject.

I really like this concept. Just using small bullshit ICE that later help lock the game up when Sandburg makes them huge. Needs more Tour Guide, though =P.

I’ve never really built an Anarch deck, only once back when I only owned the core set. But I thought a cool idea would be a runner deck with enough cards to score points while having to run the corp as little as possible - I just don’t know how to make it work. This is what I’ve been screwing around with lately, any advice is well-recieved

Would love some feedback on this deck (longer description at NRDB). It’s inspired by @Arkitekt 's “Around the world in 8 turns” titan rush/FA deck. I’ve been winning a lot with this in testing (both on jinteki.net and at weekly meetups). It moves a lot faster than most of the prominent runner decks right now, takes advantage of the current lack of anti-FA tech, and can salvage a playable late game with Sandburg. It’s also a lot of fun.

Any suggestions or thoughts would be most appreciated!
