Off the Gridori vHJ1.0 (Weyland)

HepatitvsJ 244

A deck I'm looking for feedback on. The concept is to put an Amazon Ind. Zone and Midori on HQ and continually bounce, reinstall and rez for free (or 1 with datapike...I REALLY hope Mala Tempora has a decent, cheap EtR ICE for Weyland) whatever ICE they don't have a breaker for. Crim is really scarce in my meta but I'm expecting to get sick of Reina Roja real quick, so this deck is still a counter for her basic ability and rook. If rook is on an ICE on HQ just bounce it with Midori, reinstall the same ICE or another depending on what breakers are on the table and smile. If Reina has Xanadu out it does hurt a little but Weyland economy should be able to keep up. Levy University is supposed to be 3 Power Shutdown from Mala Tempora even though I think it's better in this deck. The ability to power shutdown a scheherazade or SMC or datasucker or another problem card is too good. Even without the ability to choose the target yourself you should still be able to manage the shot into something painful often enough to justify it. With the INF cost of Midori I wasn't able to add 3 GLC and 3 successful demonstration so economy is weaker than normal, especially with the loss of hostile takeover. With luck, you can score a G-Frack asap for creds. Corporate troubleshooter is for making sure a runner stays out and can protect archives for a key turn to let you score an agenda. Low quantity of ICE worries me, so I think this will be better if I go up to 59 cards, add ICE and keep the Levy University assets. Lack of cheap enough EtR ICE is a problem though. I actually think this will go better in Jinteki now. hmm...next deck. :)

Yeah. I think this is a 59 card deck concept. I need a Hadrian's wall for archives and a few more ICE in general. The bigger deck size will make finding off the grid harder too though. I'll work on it in my spare time...I'm working on accelerated diagnostics weyland and HB right now. If we ever get a card like "Brainstorm" from MtG I'll put AD in NBN too. :) I saw your comments on reddit, but the biggest reason for the shutdown/AD combo is that most people don't put their plascret out immediately it seems. A second turn double scorch is deadly. I would be more concerned with people running decoy, that will ruin the combo.
