Spanish Inquisition v4

Fourth revision of this deck.

Basically just a small update, everything about the previous revision still applies. This rev gets rid of a one particular weakness - tempo loss on djinn. So: -3 djinn +1 medium +1 nerve agent +1 datasucker -1 crescentus +1 akamatsu mem chip. It is better to simply draw into viruses than to lose time and cash on djinn. Singleton akamatsu makes sure I can play what I want in the late game (4MU is usually occupied by datasucker, medium, mimic and corroder by that time).

I feel like you'd notice the tempo loss less if you just siphoned more often/better, to that end, 3x deja vu, since its better than same old thing for recurring siphons. Siphon money should EASILY let you install djinn and allow you to tutor for the needed viruses. I know when I'm prepping an attack, thats tangible pressure without running. Djinn is a godsend for any build using viruses.

That said, if you're running deep red and caissa, I'd imagine that no viruses would be a better option, using bishop for what you're using datasuckers for right now, and knight to break the big ice. To that end, you'd want R&D interface and MAYBE HQ interface, but since you want siphons for sure, stick wtih 1 NA.

-3 datasucker +3 bishop -1 NA +1Deja Vu -1 deep red +1 deja vu

that should alleviate your MU pains, and give you 1 influence back when you realize that you probably don't need more MU :P

Thx for the input!

Agreed. But it's not only that, I also felt a little crippled by the need to install Djinn before Datasucker/Medium/Nerve. Without it I just drop what I draw into, if I want it on the table.

That said, if you're running deep red and caissa, I'd imagine that no viruses would be a better option, using bishop for what you're using datasuckers for right now, and knight to break the big ice.

I know many think that way, but I just don't like that this sort of deck could be totally locked out without an answer by certain corp cards. However I will playtest -3 datasucker +3 bishop surely after I'm done testing current build in and out.

To that end, you'd want R&D interface and MAYBE HQ interface

Why would I splash for R&D and HQ interfaces having really good R&D and HQ pressure in faction (Medium/NA)?

Dropping the viruses includes Medium/NA, and going into hardware means you don't need the mem chip that much.
