The Griddening

lolpaca 1247

With the arrival of Breaker Bay, Weyland now has access to three Grids with pretty amazing synergy.

Off the Grid can be rezzed for 1 credit when installed in a server with Breaker Bay Grid. With Crisium Grid on HQ, it takes 2 successful runs (the first one paying 5 to trash Crisium) to get rid of Off the Grid. And even if they manage that, they still have to run your remote (and pay the extra credit) to get whatever you're advancing. Woof! That's worth building around, no?

BBG also synergises wonderfully with Adonis Campaign, The Root and Hostile Infrastructure, so in they went as well.

The ice mix hasn't been hugely thought through yet, but Meru Mati seems like it'll do good work on HQ, and Curtain Wall is purely for your Off the Grid server in case things go south: you might be able to score Priority Requisition to rez it, but that might be wishful thinking.

This is just the broad strokes for this deck, someone better than me might be able to take the idea and make something better. Go forth and grid!

This is sick. So sick I don't think it needs NAPD Contract. Priority Requisition is real fun here with three pretty nice targets, plus you could go up to three, free up a card slot and slap in an Archer or something for a fourth target.

3x Jackson Howard is a staple, I know, but you might find a single Daily Business Show does a pretty ungodly amount of work for you. In a lot of ways I like it better than Mr. Howard.

You have a lot of assets, so Tech Startup might be nice. I could also see Executive Boot Camp in here, but I think the first is a better option. Neither is really necessary though, especially with Project Atlas overscored.

If you find you are tight on cash, look at Capital Investors.

Nice suggestions, and Tech Startup/Executive Boot Camp also work nicely as bluffs to make them waste clicks and credits checking remotes. Not sure what I'd cut though.

Dunno about ditching NAPD Contract yet - my thinking was that after running HQ twice and trashing Crisium, they'll probably be too broke to pay another 5 to steal NAPD, making it pretty darn safe. I'll give it a try though.

I'm a bit concerned that most of the ice isn't especially taxing once the standard breakers are out, and I could probably afford a couple of stronger options once the economy gets going. This is very much a first draft though, so I guess we'll see.

I just posted one that looks like this. That Paywall looks like a much better idea than my Housekeeping. And your Caduceus...oh my. I have to spend the next few days tinkering. Nice deck!
