Schwarzenegger's 'Roids

The strategy here should be fairly obvious: spam bioroids and score behind them with an Anoetic. There isn't much nuance to the deck—just money up and slap bioroids everywhere. You want to take advantage of the 4 credit discount as many times as possible, so make sure to always have an unrezzed 'roid somewhere. Usually, I end up making two or three remotes: a heavy scoring remote and some more lightly defended remotes for my campaigns. In terms of centrals, I'd typically place the most emphasis on ICEing up R&D since you'll ideally be slapping agendas in the scoring server immediately after they enter HQ.

The one oddball choice in here is the single Brainstorm, which I consider to be the MVP of the deck. People seem to assume that they can click through anything spiky and will be more careless with their runs as a result. It combos nicely with Cyberdex Virus Suite to punish Botulus/Musaaki based runners with crippling amounts of brain damage (I once got a Freedom player on Jinteki.net down to a hand size of -1, though tragically I didn't get to see what the victory message said as they conceded before the end of turn).

I only played this deck casually on Jinteki.net and it's been met with mixed success. The toughest matchup by far is against ICE destruction anarch, since you don't get the 4 credit discount if the bioroid is trashed before they pass it. I found this deck neutered Diversion of Funds as long as I had an unrezzed Tyr/Fairchild on the board since I could just blow my money on rezzing something expensive.

The ideal opening hand has 2-3 pieces of ICE and some sort of econ. Prioritize getting a campaign out early, even if it means leaving a central server exposed. You really, really, need the money. Poverty is a major issue with the deck despite all the economy assets and it's something I've yet to fix.

Unfortunately, the lower influence of the ID meant that I couldn't include a third Global Food Initiative and I had to settle for an Ikawah instead. I've considered swapping it for a Send a Message to get free Tyrs and Fairchilds on the board, and I'm still conflicted about it. I used to have 3x The Twins, but found them too unwieldy and cut them and a Spin Doctor for another Anoetic Void. Another consideration was ditching the single Subliminal Messaging for an Ark Lockdown, but I ultimately opted against it since the runner would just install their bin breakers manually once I rezzed the corresponding type of ICE with the ID ability. I tried including Biotic Labor and Bass, but found myself too poor to really use it effectively.

So, whaddaya think?
