I felt like saying goodbye to TWIY so I made a deck. In testing I discovered that it's actually decent (since it's full of yellow cards). Thanks to the errata it's now got 11.3% higher AstroScript Pilot Program density than any other ID on the planet!
People usually slow down and money up, expecting tag punishment. Meanwhile, if you haven't won by turn 10 you're not doing it right. You can legitimately win on turn 5 if you can get a SanSan City Grid rezzed behind a Vanilla or Quandary or both.
No one really gave this ID a second look after Sensie Actors Union came out and man does that card make the deck sing. The +1 HQ size is of course the worst ID ability around but helps you Sensie aggressively without tossing stuff and makes it harder to steal agendas you want to score.
Explode-a-paloozas are a killer card for rush.
Plenty of weak matchups (Clot, Whizzard, Faust), but it's a blast to play. Rush hard, rush fast, then use a breaking news and your 2x Closed Accounts to make sure the runner can't trash your stuff and never catches up.
Successful demonstration would be 3x Lateral Growth for the Jeeves Model Bioroids FA play if there was influence. As is, Jeeves is a series of situational Biotic Labors. Which means that you should probably just play NEH. But that wouldn't be a swan song for TWIY* now would it? Give it a go and bid adieu to the least-loved yellow Megacorp.

BN is really really good though. With four 2/1s in this deck, sometimes you score an astro, astro the Beale then 2/1s thrice from hand instead of the normal 2/2/2/1 agenda spread. Very fast and very hard to stop. Breaking news FA or off table is the way to close accounts. It's a really great play midgame or just after they've monied up, esp with a rezzed sansan etc. |

Ahh yes I forgot about Breaking News when I was resleeving this and got to Closed Accounts. I'm also interested in your choice of money makers. I feel like Shipment from SanSan and Sweeps Week are better for you here than anything else |

Quite possible. I'd prolly run 6x Green level if I could. I might suggest adding subliminals first though since I'm not really taking full advantage of Jeeves without them. Plus Subliminal is decent drip econ if the runner's not running early. Don't need to out money the runner, just have enough on hand to score off a SanSan, old school style |
Successful Demonstration seems like the weakest card here. You could run Rototurret to get a third type of etr here and maybe break something.
How about dropping the Breaking News to fit Lateral Growth in, and maybe running Fast Track for 15 Minutes/Astro? You could replace those points with License Acquisition, and getting a free Team Sponsorship plus rez on a SanSan seems backbreaking.
