Overmind takes the place of Baba Yaga, an AI breaker which can host non-AI icebreakers and gains their paid abilities.

With Breach, Yog.0, and Faerie installed on it (for a total of 12, including Baba Yaga's cost of 5) , the whole setup become pretty powerful, capable of breaking code gate and Sentry subroutines for free, and either increase strength 1 for 1 from Faerie or 4 for 2 from Breach.

Everything else in this deck is relatively standard.

You might find room for 3x Sacrificial Construct, you really want those with a Baba Yaga deck and you have plenty of influence.

If Baba Yaga becomes a thing, every Corp will start slotting Swordsman into their decks. You may want to add an backup Sentry breaker in case you run into a Swordsman. You can trash your Faerie to break it the first time, but would want that backup Sentry to break Swordsman the next time(s).

The three copies of Baba Yaga take up the "remaining" influence (unless I'm much mistaken).

I was thinking about -1 Baba Yaga, -1 Blockade Runner +2 Sacrificial Construct.

@nick.brown10 That's a great point. There's also some other upcoming AI-hate ICE. Backup Faerie is a great idea, and this deck can even afford to run Parasite.

I would suggest -1 Baba Yaga -1 Blockade Runner -1 Career Fair +2 Sacrificial Construct +1 Mongoose (or Mimic if you fear the double Swordsman and can free up 1 influence).

With 3 Special Order and 2 Baba Yaga, paired with Andy's 9 card opening hand, you'd have a 68% chance of starting with Special Order/Baba Yaga in your hand (and 90% chance with a mulligan).

If you want to counter anti A-I ice, cant you just use the Ice breakers to break the Swordsman or something?

@RKruler14 you can, but Faerie has to be trashed after it's used, which would require something else to break it. Wouldn't want a swordsman on HQ or R&D to be the reason you can't get in.

@MakersEyebrowI had actually forgotten about Swordsman when I made this deck. Or Turing, for that matter.

-1 Baba Yaga, -1 Blockade Runner, -1 Career Fair, -1 Yog, -1 Earthrise, +3 Sacrifical Construct, +1 Penguin (because Turing), +1 Mimic

@HollowsHeart what is Penguin? I'm thinking you meant Peregrine lol.

6 Dec 2016 HollowsHeart

@MakersEyebrowThat is EXACTLY what I meant. Penguin is the unreleased bird breaker that only breaks tracers ;)
