Concept:

Abuse Hayley to install Programs, rather than the Resources & Hardware I've seen a lot of, and simultaneously use the addition of NRE to make the Datasucker/Atman pair even more effective.

Blow up ICE as much as possible through Parasite recursion, because every time you do, they're forced to install more. Every time they're forced to install more, you powered up the Ice Analyzer's all over again, hooray! (Okay, this idea is probably horrible, and you'd be better off just, y'know, having money instead.)

There's a backup suite of one of each (terrible!) breaker if needed, and good old Magnum Opus, hosted on Djinn keeps us in money if we need it.

Card draw is probably the biggest problem at the moment, but trying to fit everything in is, predictably, awful.

Options

Still under consideration:

  • Scheherazade (Economy, but competes with Djinn)
  • Earthrise Hotel (Good solid card draw, just a fan of the card)
  • Daily Casts (Click compression that plays nicely with MO, rather than against it like most of the others.)
  • Fester (To discourage Purging, but finding the Influence is a PITA.)
  • Plascrete Carapace (I hear this 'Meat Damage' is A Thing.)

And a bunch of others I've reviewed trying to get ideas to make this work! Publishing for suggestions at this stage, might give it a few goes at our weekly Manchester games, and report back on findings.

I like this, and have been playing with my own hayley pawnshop build on octgn for a while. This may not apply to you, since you run Opus and I've opted for an economy that relies much more heavily on aesops (cache, scherazade, etc) but I've found Paricia to be a truly amazing card in my deck. With Hayley it can be snuck in with any other program install, and if you don't use it you just sell it aesops. Plus, if you have it in your starting hand against NEH it is priceless. Good luck!

Holy lack of memory, batman! Seriously, with this many programs I don't think 3 Akamatsu, Astrolabe, and Djinn are going to cut it. Do you just plan to sell everything to Aesop after like 1 turn?

Also, you have to be careful with NRE+Atman: NRE is not an optional effect. If Atman4 is your only icebreaker, and you're running on an Eli 1.0, then NRE will force you to boost it to 5 strength making it useless.

@tiedyedvortex On the NRE+Atman - Just... don't pick it. You're not required to NRE the Atman (unlike say, The Personal Touch), so the proposal was to install at say... 2 and 4, and use NRE to make it 3 or 5 depending on the server.

Memory I'm willing to test; Remember you can host MO on a Djinn, and the standard breakers are really for 'whoops, you dun fucked up' reasons.

@Shockeh you need to have at least one other breakers lets say Snowball to prevent the NRE fires to ATman

22 Jun 2015 Shockeh

@say200426 Ah, VERY good point; You do need an alternative (preferably a non-Atman) to point NRE at. Might be worth changing things up to accomodate.
