Adam's AI-ngels

Arameas 30

So what do you do with a crazed free Bioroid who Must Run? My answer is to give him some friends. Mainly some large minds and some friendly female AI-ngels.

This is an idea/work in progress on making Adam viable and effective at running. With the help of his pre-built rig that gives him aggression from the get go he has so far been able to bite and bite well. Atman was an odd choice but does seem to be working bar the annoyance of Turing and Swordsman that is making it into decks as anti Faust. At least his brain can get through them with a little help from e3 Feedback Implants.

Economy has been a problem with my decks but I hope this deck has enough in it, with Multithreader running atman and helping power overmind. The most useful thing i have found so far is Brain Chip. With the early running a two point agenda, combined with Public Sympathy means that hand size and memory are no longer a problem and the deck runs nicely. Street Magic has been included to help with face checking nasty things like Archer and Orion. It has saved me a few times and for a 0 cost install has earned its keep.

Any suggestions welcome. I have been refining the deck as I go but anything to help it run faster, more efficient or anything else to help. Not expecting to win worlds with it but I am hoping to take it to store tournaments.

Surge seems very questionable here (only if you running Crypsis instead of Overmind). You're short of one influence, run Inti, for Wraparound protection. Also Hunting Grounds is more useful than Street magic.

@DrMarodi Inti the little breaker that no one runs, :p

Is a good idea really, haven't seen much wraparound in my local meta but it will also work well against the more prevalent Ice Wall that annoys my atmans.

As for surge, it is there to help come back from a virus purge to keep Atman happy and running. Can be an edge case but it has been useful in testing.

Thanks for the advice!

I second Hunting Grounds over Street Magic, but I'd run both if possible. SM is especially good in Adam against single remote builds where the corp can essentially use your first click to tax you with annoying outer ICE as long as Always Be Running is installed. Film Critic is also worth considering.

The Surge influence might be better spent on 2x Mimic, as they would get you through Swordsman. Double Turing will still lock you out pretty effectively but the corp can only do that on one server; you just run elsewhere.
