Sandburg Asa

Akhet 26

This is the deck to play if you are obsessed with Asa but don't want to be accused of playing Skunkworks.

NASX and Fully Operational have a very cute interaction: Whenever you gain 2 with Fully Operation, you can trigger NASX's ability. This means that if you have a Fully Operational with 4 echoes, you can put ten power counters on NASX and crack it for twenty credits. Then you can rez Sandburg so you don't even have to spend those credits to get value off them.

I have found that while you can make use of Sandburg after twenty credits, getting to around forty credits with two NASX-doubled Fully Operationals is where you have complete control of the game.

Archived Memories helps you re-assemble the combo after doing it once, or fetch back Sandburg after the Runner trashes it.

Sometimes you want to install NASX the turn you use Fully Operational so the Runner can't trash it while its installed, other times you want to try to overnight it so you can use your Marilyn and Daily Quest triggers to add even more power counters.

Every piece of ice in the deck has a hard ETR to make best use of Sandburg

Before you get to infinite credits, use Spin Doctor and Sprint to hide away any agendas. The only common case where scoring an agenda early is the right move is scoring a Cyberdex Sandbox against a virus deck.
