I REALLY like this deck. Depending on what you can score first, you have all but got the game won by the time you score your second agenda, as long as you can protect R&D long enough to get the agendas you need, you're in good shape. The credit per install goes a long way in helping you save up for the fast advance tricks, and when you're ready, you can just score out of hand. The only thing to worry about protecting is the SanSan City Grid, the rest of it is all expendable (you got your credit for installing the campaigns, if they run them and trash them after you rez them, you're even, if not, you get more money!).

is it as fast as nbn with biotics, astro, sansan which also has a better late game with tollbooth

also why interns and not a third archived memories?

@kaifeiyu I disagree with NBNFA having a better late game with tollbooth, as you usually have much better economy in purple, making siphon less of an issue, and making rezzing all the ice easier. The NBN variant is faster though and i do still preffer it, but purple has it advantages still. In addition to the metioned interns, do you need that popup? i think id run the full set of jacksons instead, as he is just a godsent when you get the wrong cards, and he can help recur the FA tricks.

@GammaCodeX Whilst purple does have a better economy, the ice in faction is just not there for late game ice. Bioroids whilst great, you ideally need 2 to function the same as a tollbooth at which point you're paying double to get the same taxing effect. The cheap ice in nbn are cheaper then the ones in HB and the expensive ice in nbn are more effective then the ones in HB. I would go for a Next ice suite for this deck with Next silvers instead of wall of static, and Next bronze instead of enigma and pop up, functioning the same as quandary does in standard NBN. which then frees up influence for jackson.

I think what we agree on is that this deck looks like it should just be replaced with the NBN variant, but I think the slow glacier-y HBFA deck is pretty good too. But yes this deck is trying to be as fast as the NBN version, and for that NBN is just... faster and with a safer late.

@kaifeiyu RE: Interns vs Archived Memories is a straight wash in this deck, as the thing I'm likely to do with the third Archived Memories is install anyway, but now that I think about it I think you're right, a third archived memories would be better, as it gives me more options for what to recur.

This deck hopes to not get to late game, if you get to late game, you're in trouble. The reasoning is that once you've scored an efficiency committee you're good to score with the shipments. If you don't have shipments, you can score with the biotic labors. I've found that I have a TON of money by midgame and it's just a matter of digging for the right cards.
