cerebral shipment

of course, you could win by just biotics and archived but thats not quite as fun!

Lots of talk about Celebrity Gift being used with Cerebral Imaging, but this is the first deck I've seen that actively uses it. Any particular strategy in the cards revealed?

Also, I've tried ICE-lite decks. Do you find you have a hard time getting at your ICE? Also, what do you do if you don't find your ICE?

So with what cards to reveal, I never show an agenda. I won't show them both mirrormorph and kaguya in the same game either. Maybe one or the other, not both. Basically, just show them your set of non agenda cards whatever they are for the most part. I'll often accumulate archived memories, biotic labors and successful demonstrations since you draw so many cards. Then just keep showing them the same cards if you can help it.

So no, no particular strat in choosing which cards to show them besides not outright revealing the combo and giving them as little helpful info as I can. Theyre already going to know youre running biotics to show them those and whatever else.

With this deck, Ive had being ice light hurt the first few turns to the point where it felt just so lucky that I recovered at all but I did and often can manage to win. With this one you again draw so very much that you'll get to the ice soon enough. And remember it's more about making their runs as taxing as possible with as little effort as possible. So even if they have a corroder, I'll happily throw down an eli to start costing them 4creds a run. They most likely wont win against you if they focus exclusively on R&D. you can easily tell their odds too remembering that there are 11 agendas in the deck and you should quickly have quite a few of them in your hand.

So yea, if I don't find my ice, I just draw more If I do find it? Draw more lol

I really like the deck. However, The Source (although not Chakana since this deck has nearly all the time in the world) totally monkey wrenches this fine-tuned German efficiency engine. There isn't really enough ice to defend a virtual server to deal with the extra advance requirements. Also, I had a "special" moment and actually used the advanced beta test ability... promptly dumping 5 agenda points into a gleeful anarchs infected fingers. It's a pity there aren't any other 3 for 2 agendas to put in the deck instead.

Very true, any sort of useful 3 for 2 would be huge for the deck. As is, the only useful agenda is gila hands :x

For source and chakana, chakana can be tough of course, but flushing viruses at correct times makes it still workable. The source dies when they steal an agenda, so unless theyre working for game point (which I just realized is the perfect time to play source as runner! <3 ) then you can wait until they inevitably score one or just hand them a gila hands unprotected to the board if youve got the combo and are only waiting to score it for game. Ive survived 3 account syphons in a row thanks to archived > celebrity. The real nightmare of the deck that I haven't come against yet is likely to be nerve agent. I cant see effectively managing my card draw and economy while having to worry about ever increasing hq dig.

I did certainly change the next bronze into enigma. Nothing else changed.
