Noise: Devastator

Oneiro 260

Lots of synergies going on with this deck. First of all Cache is the economy Noise needed and it's awesome. Installing it with cyberfeeder and Grimoire on the table and pawning it later on nets seven credits and a mill - pretty decent.

Cyberfeeder helps me paying my viruses and especially use Darwin which is used for low strength ice mainly if i need to get into a server. D4v1d on the other hand helps getting through bigger ice and could be pawned after emptying it. Corroder is a cheap way to go through barriers like Wraparound, but i am still not sure if i really need it in this deck.

Clone Chip helps me recurring my Parasites, Caches, Imps or even D4v1ds.

Katy is used as a long term econ to make sure i never get poor. I also put in two scrubbed to either counter corp currents and to get at least one ice into parasite/ Darwin-range a turn.

I had a decent amount of success with this deck and i love how it plays :) Seems that there are lots of great tools for Anarchs in this cycle and i am really looking forward to order and chaos...

I would cut a Corroder and try fitting in another breaker, whether it's Force of Nature or Mimic or even Yog.0 (which isn't as safe a choice now thanks to Lotus Field). My personal preference is Force of Nature, but as an alternative you could also cut a copy of Darwin and run Crypsis since getting virus counters purged would pretty much end the game right then and there if it's that late in the game. Other than icebreaker choices, I think the deck is very solid as a whole.

Hey, thx for your comment. Yeah, i am still fiddling around with the breaker suite. I had three knights in there initially, but wanted to check how much work darwin could do. In an earlier iteration of this deck i even played surge, which could help with the darwin token, but it removed them in favor of scrubbed.

I fear that running another breaker might make the deck very inconsistent, because of my lack of card draw. My local meta is pretty NBN heavy and having corroder to beat those wrap arounds and even some Elis is pretty nice.

The deck really needs some more playtesting, to see which breakers do the most work for me ;)

My suggestion for your breaker suite is 1x Crypsis, 1x Corroder, 2x Darwin, 1x Force of Nature, 1x Mimic. I would cut a single Kati Jones in favor of another icebreaker slot. You have good card draw; you're running Quality Time, chances are pretty high you'll hit at least one pretty fast, and then you have a full breaker suite as well. If you need to draw more, don't be afraid to use a Deja Vu on it, especially since you have Clone Chips for your programs too.

Thx for the advice - i will check that out, as soon as i have got a decent amount of playtesting with my current deck. I am not too sold on FoN and Crypsis, though. I would probably rather go for yog, even with lotus field out there. Cutting a Katy might be a good idea to minimize dead draws, so i will probably go for that and then see which additional breaker fits my playstyle.

No problem, hope everything works out with your deck. Never hurts to try some new stuff out!

I like your deck a lot and it has a lot of potential. It need a little work on icebreakers for sure but It seems really nice already. Since you're not using Djinn (Like you should), I'm against using 1x of any ice breakers. I would remove one Kati and a cyberfeeder or darwin to add 2 knights or 2 crypsis. I love darwin, but you may suffer badly in a well played purge.

A more wild icebreaker to consider is Wyrm. It is a good failsafe against purge as long as you have the money. And it works pretty well with Darwin

Hey @Diegofsv, I recently removed the two Corroder and replaced them with Knight for testing. Maybe i will also switch one Darwin in favor of a third Knight, but the Deck needs some testing before I will make further changes ;)

Removing one Kati Jones is a good idea, but I am still not convinced to do it, because I want to see here quite early in most cases and i am afraid that I´d loose consistency if i remover her - again: this just needs some more playtesting (which is going to happen today ;))

Wyrm on the other hand is too expensive imo and he wont help against Lotus Field and i am simply not a fan of Crypsis, which is why i choose Knight in most cases.

Oh and regarding Djinn: I am actually not a fan of it. I played it and i almost never wanted to have it in hand. And even if I installed it I was hesitant to use its ability. I'd rather use my deckslots for cards which fit my playstyle better, but again this is just my personal preference and Djinn is by no means a bad card :)

22 Aug 2014 Diegofsv

@Oneiro I hate Djinn too but I think that my English betrayed me. I was trying to say that you shold keep Djinn out. I understand your concern about early Kati but I'm more concerned about Caches and Sure Gambles early game. Kati is something better mid-end game wise. Either way....test it out and tell what you think was best. I'm more in a Iain vibe right now and I'm way too long without trying any Shaper ids. Its just because I'm such an Arach player at hearth and Noise is such a big thing right now with Cache.

So after some playtesting there where only a few things i would change. I playtested the deck with Knight instead of Corroder and it really helped to get inside a server when it was necessary. So i am pretty happy with my current breaker suite.

One thing that didn't go so well on the other hand was Scrubbed. Its not bad, but it doesn't go as well with the deck as i thought that it would. One problem is, that it can actually get an ICE outside of the reach of D4v1d (happend with an Archer which i facechecked after playing Scrubbed).

I am probably going to switch out Scrubbed and put two Surge in this deck, because they really help to get my darwin back to four virus token after a well timed purge of the corp and also synergise well with other cards.

Economy wise everything went pretty great. Drawing Katy early helps to establish a steady economy and even helps to build up money against Weyland T'n'B , so the lack of Plascrete Carapace is manageable.

There where a few times where i wished i had a Nerve Agent, though, so maybe i'll try to fit one copy in.
