HB for 1st Regionals

Going to my 1st NR tournament on Saturday (Regionals), and I'd love any input.

I'd put in maybe 1 more Janus. I run a NEXT Design deck which I just tried out for the first time this past Tuesday. It works pretty well with 2 Januses, and I published it on here if you feel like takin' a look at it. :)

I like your econ in here, and 2 Jacksons should keep your Archives safe for the most part. My reasoning for 2 Januses here is cuz you will increase your chances to slap one down on the runner when you Beta Test and or Priority Req. Inazuma in front of a Janus (my god, if only I had more influence to work with, I'd put THAT ICE in my deck instead of Tollbooths...come to think of it, I may try that anyway) somewhat early on could almost win you a game.

IMO, using up all your influence would be a good thing here, too...maybe dropping 1 Adonis in favor of, say, 1 more Jackson or perhaps 1 Closed Accounts (seeing as how some runners like to pile on the tags w/Siphons and Joshua Bs...that can make 'em pay).

Oh and btw, good luck at Regionals! :) Going to the one in Boston?

Thanks for the feedback! I was already considering making room for e 3rd Jackson, so I think I'll try to do so. While I'm reconfiguring, I'll look into the 2nd Janus as well.

And I'm playing in the regional in Durham, NC tomorrow. I've only been into A:NR for a couple of months, but I'm really excited both to just spend a whole day playing and to learn from the more experienced players.

I hear ya, man. :) I've played the game since last winter, but up until April, I'd been using decks that a friend of mine built. Then I got my first core set and was on my way. I just got the rest of my cards (through H&P) last week, and I've been happier than a pig in...well, you know.

I love HB, especially the NEXT Design ID, so anytime I see an inspiring build, I try to comment on it. I'm anxious to hear how those Project Vitruvius work out for you when you play at Regionals (or anywhere for that matter). I wish I had room for Cerebral Overwriters in my ICEland deck; you did inspire me to add Inazuma though! I'm going to give those a shot, and if I don't like the results...if they're too few and far between...I'll just go back to Tollbooths and pray for econ, heh.

Your deck does look solid though, and like I said, I'm anxious to know the turnout. I've been pondering whether or not I should free up 3 influence points and take out Sweeps Week in favor of Restructure...but I may not, since I can afford to be somewhat patient with the build I'm curently running.
