The NEXT detonation

Sathoon 17

There are times when you have like three agendas in your initial hand and no ICE. So you mulligan and get a solitary piece of ICE in your second starting hand, but it's Wotan. And the ICE you want is half-way down your deck.

Then D4v1d shows up to thump Wotan in his stoic face.

This deck was hastily constructed to see if I can at least grasp the theory behind Refining the Process properly. The NEXT suite is an obvious prime choice as it can get the wall going in a very short space of time, potentially shutting off the Runner's early game shenanigans and extending well into mid-game due to the NEXT synergy.

I've wanted to use Corporate CEOs for a while but never felt safe diverting the resources to protecting one consistently. Course when The Source landed in my local game store I was delighted to find Self-destruct would let me throw them around and still somehow manage to get rewarded for the Runner's efforts trying to reach them.

If the ICE fail to protect Haas, then Caprice can step up. If the psi game somehow fails, I can always feel safe knowing I can simply push a button and bampf the whole server, and bring the good director back from the dead with Jackson (don't ask how) later. Where agenda is concerned, the runner is forced to make a decision either to risk the trace and deny me agenda, or end up tripping the solitary Cerebral overwriter, what fun!

But... Am I doing it right?
