So Angry, So Wonderful

I've been having an absolute blast with the Tier 2(ish) decks since the new cycle has come out. With Harishchandra Ent.: Where You're the Star and Weyland Consortium: Builder of Nations, you get ID's that might not be super competitive--but they are a lot of fun. I think the game's in a pretty fun place right now and just wanted to say that. Sometimes decks below the "power curve" have a charm unto themselves. But I digress...

Charm? Blast to play with? Let's talk about Anger. Let's talk about Wonderful Hate. Remember 23 seconds ago, when we had a bunch of money? Well, now it's gone and there's some face-punching to do.

This Weyland Consortium: Builder of Nations s deck is about protecting the 3 centrals and then having a scoring remote. Shipment from Kaguya does really good work with so many targets and I've played numerous games where players are spending hard earned credits not letting Builder fire.

After a typical opening of ice/ice/hedge; you want to get advancements going. The agenda count is low enough that you can take your time here. Once you've got some big ole ice costing lots of money to break and doing a face-punch once per turn, you'll get some of those classic scoring windows where the runner has to "recharge."

Oh, and let's talk about Housekeeping--this card fits really well in this build. Losing a card on install and a card on approach starts to take it's toll on runners. So...it's like two face punches for the price of one!

Finally, Weyland went out and hired Marcus Batty. He wants to retire, always trying to go into the archives, but Weyland ain't done with him yet. Let him fire Cobra, Orion, or any of the ETR stuff. Then go ask those nice interns to drag him back to his desk. HE'S DONE WHEN WEYLAND SAYS HE'S DONE.

And finally x2, Space Camp Kids in Space? It's cute. Also annoying to when a runner is looking for nefarious schemes in R and D and they run across a bunch of kids playing anti-grav-tag.

Space Camp could be a Satellite Grid or even a Prisec, but right now, we're supporting the kids in space program.

Face punches are fun! Give it a shot!

No Hollywood Renovation?

@C6H6, I actually hadn't thought of putting that in there. I think the Global Food Initiative is the way to go with the 5/3s (unless we were to cut the Atlas'--which lowers our density even more...hmmm);

hehe, all that to say, if you play this and slot 'em in, let me know how it goes! :-)
