Second incarnation of my Iain deck that is trying to maximize income from Underworld Contacts. I've changed the breaker suite around a bit, mainly for the Cloud subtype Zu. Since he doesn't take MU, I will have enough for all my breakers and Sneakdoor with just Logos out. Mem Chips were replaced with Access to Globalsec, just the Underworld Contacts active for 2 fewer credits.
In addition to this, I added the clone chips as a backup against program destruction, and The Source to help me get a few more turns of Underworld income in.
I got rid of the connections income event because I rarely had more than 3 in play, so I just went with Easy Mark for more reliable +3c. I also added two inside jobs and removed 1 special order (either I will draw into a breaker already or Logos can fetch one).
I'll be play testing this later today, so I'll come back with some results... hopefully manages better against Jinteki and FA strategies.

No that's precisely the point. Previous version had an R&D interface, and it was rarely used. The beautiful thing is that once I've got my clickless econ, I can access remote servers. Against Weyland, non-FA HB, RP Jinteki, and a few others this is really good. Against any fast advance (NBN/HB/Jinteki) it really falls flat. The HQ interface makes it so I can get agendas being held in hand a bit more reliably, but I absolutely have to get them from hand in those matchups. And not only that, usually by the time I can reliably get into HQ, they've got 4-5 points with FA, with NBN at least 1 astroscript scored and it's almost over This version did a fair amount worse than the earliest version I made. What I'd love to have, is a Medium. I would give me the option of big R&D dig and a big enough threat to force a purge... Alas, influence is always what it comes down to with Iain. As much of a joke as this sounds, I might have to go Leviathan and Aurora for my Decoder and Fracter to save on influence :P |
Considering that Iain's playstyle is usually a game of sitting back and waiting for a while, then hammering the corp hard, why not put in some more multi-access setup cards like R&D Interface (or additional HQ ones)? Or am I just reading the deck wrong entirely?
