Upstalk: the final frontier. To boldly go where no runner has gone before.

While I was trying to find the icebreakers that are the easiest to pump prior to the encounter, I came upon Atman, the easiest of all : you can't pump it at all. How easy is that? Netrunner is a game of contradictions. If your icebreaker is already at the right strength, you don't have to pump it, right?

By playing Nasir instead of Kate, I can use Personal Workshop to its fullest. No anti-combo with Kate reduction and a huge motivation for mid-run credit-spending!

Everytime the Corp rezzes an ice, it acts like a small Stimhack, fueled by the Corp, without the brain damage. Free run credits! Might as well replace the actual Stimhacks with Parasites to kill popup & friends.

Dirty Laundry on shallow servers with unrezzed ice. You're almost certain to succeed if your Atmans are right and you'll gain massive amounts of creds.

Obviously, don't empty Kati before a cred reset, but just after.

Cyberfeeders keep your money safe and pays for Parasites. The Toolbox if you can afford it, solves many problems at once.

Escher on double duty: aligning ice strengths and removing unrezzed ice for your way.

2 problems:

  • You don't want to get tagged with something useful on PW and/or a pile of creds on Kati.

  • Popup-up Window and Paper wall. Not a huge deal.

Intriguing. You definitely need those Eschers to land your R&D Interface hits.

cut levy for a second escher

Yep, this version I like even more than the previous one.

The only things I see here would be to possibly cut a Kati to get either a second Toolbox (that shit is awesome when you actually manage to play it, which you should just fine with those workshops and credit resets) and the Levy for a second Escher, like Bigfoot here mentioned.

I don't like decks to rely on Escher to do anything. It must stay a nice bonus, something of a finisher, not the way to get somewhere.

I could certainly include a second Toolbox. It comes down to personal preference. I would need to actually test the deck to decide on that level of refinement.

One thing I thought about: Inside Job is a very good card for Nasir. Too bad the influence is already tight.

Agreed on the Escher. I usually just run one myself... but whenever I do find space for the second, I very rarely regret it. Basically, it makes it more likely you'll have it when there's a really good opening.

And then there's the second thing: it takes forever to recover from a well-timed Escher. And even if they were expecting the first one, they usually don't expect the second (especially if you Eschered all their badass ICE to HQ :D). Most people just want to throw their cards out the window and leave the room at that point (that counts as conceding, right? :P).

That's a great catch! Why I didn't I think of it? :D My version might actually have the influence to spare, if Liberated Accounts don't work out the way I imagine they will.
