Alix T4LB07

I really like this card though it is hard to include. It's not really obivous which kind of deck this card supports the most:
On the one hand Haas-Bioroid: Engineering the Future can be amplified to 3 for an install. That however means that you have to protect Alix for mulitple turns for maximum value.
On the other hand NEXT Design: Guarding the Net has many ice to put somewhere however the actual identity ability is triggered before Alix can be installed. Every following piece of ice is likely to cost one or more to install.

I think that she can also fit into Cerebral Imaging: Infinite Frontiers by using her and Shipment from MirrorMorph as an economy engine:

  • Install her on the previous turn.
  • : Shipment to install 3 Assets/Upgrades/Agendas,
  • : Shipment to install 3 Assets/Upgrades/Agendas,
  • , : Take 12 from her.
This results in the best case of e.g. 3 Adonis Campaign and 3 Eve Campaign and 6 (9 gain, 1 rezz cost, 2 play cost for shipment) in one turn. As a bonus you can also hide an agenda in those 6 cards as you will rezz the assets usually only when at the beginning of your turn and the runner cannot check all 6 cards in their turn.

All in all I think this card can be very good if you can adapt your play style to her though the trash cost of 2 makes her very fragile.

PS: Don't forget she can be sniped by Unregistered S&W '35. If anyone would run that...

Do you mean "Take 12 credits from her"? —
That is correct! I'm correcting it. —
could she not also fit in the foundry? make all those ice installs act somewhat like an EtF install? —
Blue Sun seemed the most logical choice for me, and as long as she is treated as a financial reserve, (or a 'run my server if you want her gone' motif), she quickly nets 10+ credits from just sitting there. I posted a decklist explaining it a little better http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/24077/holy-hand-grenade-of-t4lb07 —
I have discovered a wonderful interaction with Batty and Architect in Nisei Division which I have described in my decklist here: http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/26650/and-alix-talbot-is-secretary-of-the-treasury —
