Remote Mother Goddess Lockdown (experimental)

Devet 20

First draft of a Mother Goddess deck. The basic strategy is to install Mother Goddess on a remote server as soon as possible, and keep Chimera in front of the central servers to stop early Account Siphon, Indexing, etc.. With no ice rezzed other than Mother Goddess, Mother Goddess is unbreakable by any fracter, killer, or decoder - just pull agendas from R&D with Fast Track, Atlas or Aggressive Negotiation, and score them at your leisure.

Paper Wall and Swordsman should be placed in front of Mother Goddess and only rezzed in emergencies. Paper Wall is for blocking Inside Job from bypassing Mother Goddess, and Swordsman is for AIs.

Security Subcontract is for trashing Paper Wall and Swordsman as appropriate, to clear Barrier and Sentry from Mother Goddess..

Precognition is your main means of protecting R&D.

The deck's principal weakness is Quest Completed, although the Runner won't be able to force a run past Chimera and Swordsman without all three breaker types installed. Grim is one possible solution to delay the runner from accomplishing this, but I'm looking for a better one.

(Looking at it more, Executive Retreat is a really terrible idea. Government Contracts would be an acceptable, if boring, alternative.)

Parasite is your Nemesis. What about playing Interns?

What about Inside Job and Feint?

Either Paper Wall or Swordsman in front of Mother Goddess will take care of Inside Job. Paper Wall is preferable, since it self-trashes.

I'm not sure what danger Feint poses, given that HQ is barely protected to begin with.

I like the Interns suggestion. I'm thinking of replacing Fast Track with it.

Parasite may be less of a threat than you think, mind you. The way I actually see this deck playing is that you put two Mother Goddesses on the remote server and one on R&D, so that once you're done scoring an agenda you can stop runs on R&D until another Agenda turns up. Playing that way, Parasite wouldn't have enough time to chew through Mother Goddess before you trash it yourself.

I'm also going to add more Paper Wall, since it's a pretty good first-turn draw.

Thanks for the advice!

Remember, mother goddess is unique.

Oh, I know. You can still use it to switch back-and-forth between locking R&D and your remote server. You'd only have to do that a couple times at most in the course of a single game.

It seems like this deck could use some Himitsu-Bako

I love this idea and plan to try it out with the new HB identity. Replaced grim with wisps. Let me know if you can think of any improvements.
