Obokata Medical [WIP]

smartblue 4

Once Obokata Protocol broke, I knew I wanted to try a build in Harmony Medtech: Biomedical Pioneer to have a good suite of defensive agendas along with The Future Perfect. The question is: can I squeeze fast advance, punishment and archive pain all into one tight little package?

Let's talk about the ice suite. I know I want 3 of Mirāju to help throw runners into my archives pain trap as much as possible, and if not, it'll help me cycle my deck while shuffling my very rare agendas back in when I'm not wanting them. Crick is definitely situational as you want the archives unprotected most the time, but if they somehow kill your Jacksons and you need to fish things out before access, it seems good in a pinch. Kakugo is another strong card here, but I'm not sure I need 3 since I'm mostly looking to tax the runner, not myself. A 1 of DNA Tracker feels right since it's pretty expensive and I've only got Hedge Funds and Sundews for econ.

If / when the Sundews get trashed, call your friends. If you have a window, trick your Obokata's out, preferably from a Mushin'd Project Junebug.

I'm not too worried about Aaron Marrón since I can avoid scoring agendas, and if they steal an Obokata, it'll still suck to take 4 net damage and then potentially double punitive away the rest of their hand. Voter Intimidation will hopefully pick away Film Critic or Aaron, whichever shows up first.

I don't know yet. It still feels a bit all over the place, but I think there's room to refine this. Ideas? I actually think I might try to squeeze in Honeyfarm to make archives extra hard to deal with, especially if I want to hide any Future Perfects in there...

I've been thinking about how to do this well, it's lovely to see someone have a jab at it! What are you using Trick of Light on, though? Wouldn't it be better to use Shipment from Tennin, given that you've only really got Junebugs and your actual agendas as advanceables?

With Mushin no shin, there's a lot of tol targets! Preferably a junebug I think since it would be mostly safe from access-trashing.

Shipment from Tennin has an uncomfortable runner requirement for it to be dependable in this deck, I think.

also, mushin allows you to put advancement tokens on an asset, upgrade or agenda, it doesn't need to be a card that can be advanced. :)
