[SBL 21.10 playtest] Loop Palana

This decklist was developed during SBL 21.10 testing, and is being published in the interests of transparency and to provide a more even playing field at Worlds

This is a deck I tested for SBL 21.10 to gauge Kakugo + Shipment from Tennin.

The deck is a port of Cahuita's Loop Palana to the latest rotation. Replacing The Future Perfect with Bacterial Programming is a serious drop in power somewhat counteracted by Spin Doctor providing paid ability speed recursion. Hokusai Grid is used as a worse Breached Dome. Celebrity Gift is alright but other econ options are worth exploring.

In testing this deck that is capable of playing a mix of tempo and attrition felt stronger than a pure attrition variant. Your matchup spread is decent; I don't think you are amazing or terrible against anything. Runners going too lean to fight HB would struggle against this corp.

With so many big ICEs, isnt Send a Message better than Bacterial Programming ?

I think Regolith Mining License is probably more effective than Celebrity Gift in a deck with so many cards which will be painful to show (Snare, Punitive Countermeasures, Chrysalis, maybe Obokata). Regolith is 6 clicks to gain 13, Celebrity Gift is 2 clicks to gain 7 and show 5 cards. Assuming the difference between 7 credits and 13 credits is greater than 2 clicks and 6 clicks (which I think is usually true in Jinteki, the faction that probably clicks the most for credits), I think RML has more upside.
