The Twin's Toybox

UminWolf 93

I've always liked the idea of comboing with The Foundry, but I really didn't want to do Grail ICE, and the Mutate idea was never consistent enough for me (though it was always fun to play!). So I decided I wanted to make a Foundry deck that I felt was more competitive, but still a lot of fun to play (I normally play Blue Sun kill, but that deck is quite boring to play in my humble opinion), so this was my solution.

The basic idea of the deck is the same as most Foundry - Twins decks, make them run through a deadly piece over and over until they die from brain damage, or more often the case, they decide to try to run centrals since your scoring server is so safe that you just score out a win.

The big killer in this deck is obviously Janus 1.0, and he's a beast with The Twins. In this deck, it's possible to make the runner encounter Janus 1.0 5 times in a single run, with the corp only needing one installed. Granted this situation will most likely never come up, but forcing an encounter 3 times is actually the norm in this deck.

My scoring server generally looks like Whirlpool in front, followed by Janus, followed by Howler, with The Twins installed. This is the force 3 encounters setup, and generally means death, or the runner is completely broke afterwards. I might throw a random piece of ICE in front of the Whirlpool just in case of Inside Job. The rest of ICE is for centrals, mainly R&D.

Eliza's Toybox really helps with Janus and Heimdall 2.0. Even if they Femme the rezzed Janus, it will still cost them 8 with The Twins installed. Not to mention the Howler that's going to grab the Janus you just trashed.

The econ in the deck can be a bit sketch, so I generally like to rush out a Gila Hands install a Capital Investors in my safe scoring server until I feel I don't need it anymore. If I don't have an agenda in hand, I'll put Adonis in my scoring server just so I know he won't get trashed.

Overall this deck is good, don't think it's tier 1, but definitely good. Most importantly it's a lot of fun to play with, and even run against.

Would love any ideas/suggestions, so feel free :)

You don't NEED Whirlpool to keep them running, The Twins doesn't allow them to jack out regardless. I do like Howler though

@Father Tork: The Whirlpool is in their because of Howler. They can jack out after I rez Janus from archives or my hand with Howler, then he's derezzed.

It's just a personal choice, I run a similar deck but I use the spare influence for other ICE to kill with.

Decided to scrap Crisium Grid and Enhanced Login Protocol in favor of Breaker Bay Grid just in case I have some economy problems. Will report back with results. Enjoying the decklist. Thanks.

Just remember Breaker Bay Grid doesn't lower the cost of ICE, only assets and upgrades

@DrBeatnicpie: You're playing the deck and enjoying it...I'm so happy!!

@Father Tork this is true, but I get a free rez on every asset in the deck with Breaker Bay Grid. This could help with any economy issues.

@UminWolf haven't played it yet, but I am intrigued with the build. For a good while now, I've only been running HB kill decks. This seemed like an enjoyable change
