Influence doesn't win games

TheRyanBurke 2144

An attempt at Nova for a casual GNK event where I brought Nova + Ampere. 1-2 on the day. The deck is bad but I had fun building it and piloting. The edge that Ampere gets from mystery factory isn't as efficacious on the runner side.

AI breakers felt necessary in a singleton list. There isn't any AI hate in Corp right now, so every time I played them it felt like advantage. The main takeaway is that I will be looking more at AI breaker packages in the near future.

Games didn't really go long enough for the Paule's Cafe to be worth playing. Economy was hurting. So many clicks for credits that felt awful. Most of the time I felt like I was playing a handicapped Hoshiko. Not enough draw to consistently standup the companion + Twinning closer.

The synergy between Ampere and Mystery Factory didn't translate into a significant advantage on the snow road Runner side.
