I wanted to make an NBN deck that didn't necessarily have a use for Astroscript. It's a Psychobeale dealio that uses Hives, Archers, and Midway Station Grid to make any given server impenetrable.

Hive + Midway costs 11 for Corroder to break. Archer + Midway costs 16 for Femme Fatale to break.

You only need to advance Project Beale 13 times to win the game off that alone. You only need to advance Project Beale 11 times to win the game with that and a Breaking News from hand.

Hole up a server with a Hive and an Archer and you'll probably have enough time to do that with clicks alone. Your opponent needs 27 credits to break all that ice. That's 14 clicks on Magnum Opus. It will take 4 turns to go from scratch to running Project Beale. You can install-advance-advance, then triple-advance three times and score for 6. I can't remotely imagine this happening in a real game.

It's not a very good strategy but that's fine.

No astroscripts? What is this heresy?!?

Joking aside, very interesting idea! Seems a bit weak on econ though?

Oh, frig, I knew I was missing a staple card somewhere! There's definitely room for 3 Sweeps Week in here. Either way, this might be fine - Melange behind a Hive seems more than fine.

I find it a nice try, but for this type of deck you want to probably reduce the agenda density. How about changing the PSF, and NAPDs (and maybe a Gila) for 3 pointers?
