🔥 Bioroid Ag 🔥

What are clicks if not a resource the Desert Swan snatches from you?

In preparation for CBI, my intent was to not play Ag for a number of reasons including...

• after Worlds "I'm retiring Ag"
• players are better against it these days
• Rielle “Kit” Peddler: Transhuman hates on it
• Arruaceiras Crew Anarch hates on it
• Arissana Rocha Nahu: Street Artist is pretty good vs it
• wanted something more relaxing to play in regards to round time

. . . but I just couldn't find anything I enjoyed enough with enough time to feel good playing it (in hindsight, that was more of a capacity issue than a Corp-options issue). So as a last 'HURRAH' I decide to put together a nasty new strain of Ag goodness.

In search of ways to be better off vs Ag's primary predators, I stumbled into Ansel 1.0. I was exploring "x:install x:archives" as a way to sustain more vs ice destruction. This was exciting because Ravana 1.0 can proc any of those nasty subs, and has a healthy rez:strength ratio. So I swapped my Tree Lines out for Eli 1.0s, and began scheming and tuning. As time went on, I went from 2x Ansel to 1x which took a lot of teeth out of the deck in the form of consistently having exciting subs (Ravana or Ansel), but it just worked out like the same good-ole-Ag deck I'm so fond of.

The only thing missing is influence for Sprint.

🏆 Performance:

• L vs funkeyman232 on Esâ Afontov: Eco-Insurrectionist
  • T4 Begemot Laamb will make short work of a poor Ag with only barriers.
• W vs BinkBonkle on Freedom Khumalo: Crypto-Anarchist
  • very tough game down 0-6 T7. Thanks to some luck and the team sportin my hardest matchup way too much, I've had some practice. I also prepped for this matchup in deck-building.
• W vs x3r0h0ur on Zahya Sadeghi: Versatile Smuggler
  • mostly the classic 'run crim hard vs Ag'
• W vs tzeentchling on Lat: Ethical Freelancer
  • had some epic agenda-control shenanigans utilizing Spin Doctors & Anoetic Void early while I was ice-starved, then got the machine up and blasted away!

Some reminders to future me... never cut the rig, and do what I know works for me (and Rashida Jaheem bad)

❤️ Thanks as always to everyone who's been making CBI happen, and to netrunners being so awesome. Although it was filled with despair (my 0-2 start, and spent half the rounds team killing), I had an absolute blast as usual!
