Also, do you mean 2x eli, 2x bako, 1x wraparound? As that seems like a strong suite to me that is also fairly flexible (wrap turns back on if you trash the fracter, eli encourages click expenditure + successful runs, bako is parasite resistant and can be moved over to a scoring remote, those are my initial thoughts anyway).
There’s not a lot of eater deck nowadays (because, seriously, it’s the only reason why should play 2 wraparound) but there’s still a lot of decks who play corroder, which eli is good against. You don’t want to only have Eli as your barrier (it sucks) but 2 eli / 2 Bako / 1 Wrap seems totally reasonable to me.
I was 50/50 about including swordsman because of this, eater seems to have fallen a little out of favor as more people shift to fixed breakers in anarch and the normal stuff in kate, i still unsure about it but it does help against knight/crypsis
Edit: facepalm Atman, of course, thats going to be everywhere post NRE. Ok swordsman can stay haha.
Swordman as a 1of is totally reasonable. The runner really need to break it (or parasite it) because if they don’t, you would be able to snipe 1 card.
My tendency in fixed breaker anarch is to walk swordsman every time because, hey, Iv Had Worse. In CP this become a completely different animal.
Latest draft for those that are interested. I did some tests on the opening hand and they are …surprising. Even with 1 ICE it seems easy to get an early game defense up, of course this needs actual testing though.

If you like, the friend I mentioned before likes this ID, I can point him to this deck the next time we jam on OCTGN. I can let you know how it goes if he decides to use it.
…I’m kinda surprised by 2x Cortex Lock. I don’t know what you put in it’s place, but with NRE and your ID, I feel like it’s rarely fire because people will be aware of it and careful enough to at least not lose a critical card in the event they think it’s a CL.
Its difficult, but i think its correct. It turns back on if you trash a breaker and free up MU, or if you shutdown NRE for 0. It only ever needs to hit for 1 net for it to be scary, in fact the remaining 3 net if they faceplant it first turn is considerably worse than the 1st. Oddly, Shutdown CP seems to extend the lifespan of cortex lock, and its only 2c.
Also, an opponent scared of running against an ICE because they dont want to lose key cards, is a runner losing tempo against this deck, i think. I think the play would be to really aggressively draw with jackson nearly every game.
I totally missed the Power Shutdown. Cortex is totally reasonable in that context. Also improves Lotus Field, PS is definitely good and works well with both those ICE and the theme of the deck in general.
In anticipation of Street Peddler, here’s a draft of Noise. It goes reg-ass breakers instead of AI in hope maybe the right breaker will be Peddler for a surprise. Also, Yog is a great parasite conserver.
The other option is to embrace Wyldecakes because you’re more comfortable with redundant cards with Peddlers. Faust would probably be good here, and def better than Crypsis.

Money: 3 underworld; 3 folding; 3 cyberfeeder
Tricks: 1 icecarever, 1 netready; 1 supplier; WyldPancakes
Standard suite with a double medium going. Each turn is +6 creds and 5 recurring with a full 4 clicks.
Nbn rush deck with etr ice. Might cut 1 tol 3 marked accounts for 3 Glc 1 popup
There isn’t any hardware worth fetching… Honestly, if it didn’t push me over I’d just be running clone chips or something… plenty of situations have come up where having two of those would be nice. 47? Maybe… The other cards that aren’t too bad in the deck are compromised employees since they come off the supplier for free and help with traces (spinal modem). But again, that space. 2 modded would probably be welcome too.
Plenty of possibilities, but cutting is so hard. I like every card in the deck, even the memstrips.
It’s so often end game that I’m sitting on 20-30 credits with no cards left in deck… but there’s nothing to levy back other than the 3 casts, 3 parasites, and unused uniques, so even that’s kind of meh.
Maybe just got to 51 and have done?

Seems to work, took 5 brain so. Satellite was the right move, at least for the jank meta where everyone is trying their cybernetics devision. Ice Carver + Net Ready eyes is real… As is just installing your eyes off of a plascrete. (I wear body armor to protect me from surgery! Keeps all the parts in the right places.)
I want to play 3 Satellites in a Career Fair CT Stimshop deck. Oh the hand size! The link!!
The Pancake Party is too good, imo to leave anarch for this deck, but I guess you could do something out of shaper with it. Probably something less janky.
It’s happening
Gotta slot those strips! Also (non-competitive) so its totally cool, right?
BTW; I know the deck is bad, but I’m 7-0 with it on OCTGN? (All HB, in all honesty, 5 cybernetics, 2 ETF)
Also the 46>51. Like that was a surprise. Flows just a bit better. Waiting for 2 link kinda makes the deck suck; only blackmail covers this hole.
Ice to meet you. Just Built this bad boy. I like the composition of it, but I’m not 100% on the Identity I’m using. Thoughts?
