It's an Australian joke. We should all be connected, but we aren't. It's a pun on never drawing connections despite running a connection deck. It's funny, I swear.

So yeah, it's a connections deck. I've learnt in the pass you rarely actually get to CRITICAL MASS so Calling in Favors becomes useful. But, by the same token, the connections still give significant benefits.

The 1-of connections are for getting with Hostage. None of them are particularly necessary, they're all just all nice to have. Obviously getting one of them in your opening hand is fantastic. Order of importance I would say is Pro Co > Woman > Kati > Supplier > DRUGS. You'll probably end up drawing at least one of them over the course of the game - especially with 3 Earthrises.

I'd love to fit Calling in Favors in, as well as 3 Fall Guys to increase the number of connections - but every time I consider it...it's like I either cut solid cards (Like I already cut Siphon - and yes I know that's silly but whatever, it's a jank deck) or just be an idiot. So essentially, not happening. (As fun as it would be!)

I don't have all that much multi-access, but Woman in the Red Dress is essentially a free access. And with Legworks a constant threat, Woman puts nuts pressure on. 2 Corroders have been included because I dunno, I can! The one of Datasucker I'm planning on using as just an extra Desperado for centrals. Because it's nice money. I don't think I'd ever be too salty if I didn't draw it. It's just nice, and I had the extra influence...and didn't want Stimhack.

Pretty sure I just straight up die to SEA + Scorch, but whatever. stuff happens. Hopefully money is a thing that comes through thanks to Underworld Contact and Daily Casts - gotten out with Career Fair of course.

I would have loved to do this in not-Andromeda - but she increases consistency to such a degree that it kinda makes any jank work at least slightly more. Leela was my first thought, since I've done a connection Leela before. But it didn't let me use Underworlds, which is something I really like. I was also considering Iain, but 10 influence is just pain...so much pain.
