Building for a tournament coming up. Working from the idea of Cerebral Overwriter and bioroids being supported by Sentinel Defense Program that Quinns mentioned on this Run Last Click podcast: http://runlastclick.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/episode-18-quandaries-and-answers.html

Chucked in Architect and Eliza's Toybox to see how they worked. Will probably pull them back in favour of reliable econ or ETR ice.. Keen for comments - especially around ice balance.

Have you considered Edge of World in this deck? You could very easily bluff it as an ABT, and in a deck with this much ice, it would hurt.

Cheers. Yeah, I had considered it, and I love playing it - particularly in glacier decks with a sneaky Minelayer at the bottom - but I'd have to drop the Neural EMP to spare the influence I think, and I really like the ability to damage the runner during my turn.

The one time I've run this deck, the runner spent a lot of the game on four brain damage, and would often spend my turn without a card. If anything, I'd want to get more Neural EMPs in there..

I think another alternative might be Snare! or Shock! to hit them for net damage once they're down to a smaller grip size.

Personally, I'm not in love with Caduceus in this deck, and a really cruel card for brain damage HB is Inazuma. Inazuma into Fenris or Viktor 1.0 (which you're not running and totally could be now that Yog doesn't see as much play) guarantees a brain damage unless the Runner has some way of dealing with Inazuma, which generally costs way more to break than the runner typically wants to pay. You could go -3 Caduceus/-1 Zed/+1 Viktor 1.0/+1 Neural EMP/+2 Inazuma, if you wanted.
