The Great Ward

M0H4WK 154

Played this in Circuit Opener. After a disastrous Jinteki Aginf deck that got demolished last time, I switched back to my roots: Yellow.

Acme has a few things going for it. Data Ward is a great piece of ice in Acme Consulting: The Truth You Need and is resilient against Endurance Botulus and Boomerang which makes it a great rush piece of ice. NGO Front, Rashida Jaheem makes for great targets in the remote to drag your opponents through. If they overextend, hit them with Hard-Hitting News and follow up with Psychographics

  • Influence *

Because the main shell is so great we get to pick some juicy influence slots. Seamless Launch is a nobrainer. Never Advance is a great tool to drag them through the remote. Bellona is great/amazing.

NEXT Activation Command helps with boat and just improving the strength of the ice which makes them pay lots of dough.

Fully Operational is a cute techplay that draws or gains money, whichever you need. Might switch them out for NEXT Activation Command for squeezing out scoring windows.

  • Changes i Would Make *

Cutting the HB-package could make room for the boring Econ-warfare - Boom package. Depends on playstyle and meta i guess. You could them use SYNC Rerouting or NAPD Cordon could be cool. Icewise i could see slotting a Magnet or Funhouse but its pretty ok. Artificial Cryptocrash is worth trying out.

Loved this deck! Definitely gonna toy with the shell moving forward.

A sneaky Urticia Cypher would be funny, I was playing with it in mind anyway

Urtica Cipher and a Mavirus might be good includes for a Attitude Adjustment and a Fully Operational. The shell is pretty cool to play. Its rush but the amazing Digital Rights Management makes for some cool plays with Arella.

Holy crap, 1 Arella and 1 NAC, and you had both of them in the first two turns, yikes!

Yeah, I think it is a good move to up them both to 3 pieces. Not liking the F2P tbh. I need a Sentry with more bite i think.
