FA Nebula
nika 5
This is the fast-advance nebula which I brought to the first Torsaug Elevation CTK. It did OK on the day, but could've probably done better if I had more practice.
Nebula seems very strong especially when runners take time to set up or don't respect how quickly it can move, and the ice seemed fairly successful at putting pressure on. I think this deck probably wants a bit more of a remote server presence to make it easier to fork the runner between flipping your ID and checking the remote.
I think the ice is perhaps a bit expensive in some cases, and the deck could perhaps use a bit more small/cheap gearcheck ice (like Doomscroll) to punish Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga. The deck also lacked good tag punishment options (even a Greasing the Palm would have been nice at times).
Sabotage (like Cacophony or Chastushka) and other hand disruption (Burner, Ryō “Phoenix” Ōno: Out of the Ashes) felt rough as it was occasionally hard to keep enough cards in hand to protect agendas and FA tools.
Focus Group was never played all day, and was added last minute for fun. It should probably be cut.

Sudden Commandment + some other FA trick can also score a 4/2 at threat 3, as can Focus Group (theoretically, but you need to know the runner's hand). I've built a remote to score one, as well. Definitely a bit more awkward than the other agendas, and perhaps the Key Performance Indicators should be swapped for a 2nd Nanomanagement, but I appreciated the additional econ. I could see an argument for swapping it with Freedom of Information as light tag-floating punishment, but if you can score a remastered out, it shifts your FA options to close out the game quite a bit. (and scoring out a FOI with nanomanagement doesn't feel great) |
Do you have other ways to score the remastered editions other than nano mangement?
