Wotan Implementation v1.0

Just an experimental idea to make better use of Bioroid Efficiency Research along with the Identity to create difficult to bypass ICE on the central servers and probably two or three remote servers. Thoughts and suggestions?

Just to make sure - you know Breaker Bay Grid doesn't work on ice, right? In this deck it's good for Adonis and Eve, but that's it.

I think you don't have enough cheap ice to rez at the start - you can't just rely on Bioroid Efficiency Research to get you through (but you probably can absolutely rely on it later in the game, when rezzing stuff like Wotan or Heimdall matters).

Also, you have 15 influence. It's probably better to use it.

Also Wotan is unique; there's no real reason to include 3.

Brain-Taping Warehouse seems like a natural include, and possibly Awakening Center. If you run BTW, Midway Station Grid is a nice catch-22. The runner wants to run late to prevent the cheap rezzes, but then can't use s to break your bioroids. MSG makes using their breakers significantly more expensive.

This deck deserves at least one Janus 1.0.

Research Grant doesn't seem like the best fit here; you aren't playing enough of a shell game. Another 5/3 like Utopia Fragment seems like a better fit.

I can see something like this working with Paper Wall and the upcoming Vanilla in conjunction with Mutate. I've been mulling over that exact idea for a few weeks now.
