Such a cool deck. Do you fire off ABT since you have 3x Jackson?

If you wouldn't mind, could you describe how it plays a bit? It looks econ light to me, especially for a list running Biotic and so much expensive ice. With only 2x Bioroid Efficiency and 2x Oversight, I'd assume you have to often rez conventionally. Do you draw hyper aggressively through Jackson Howard to rush through a Gila? Can't help feeling there's something I'm just overlooking.

I agree and was thinking the same thing. Very Econ-Light, with lots of medium and big Ice, especially guys you want to hard-rez for surprises like Tollbooth.

What purpose does Sensei serve? You need to wait to build your big Remote and top it off with him, so often isn't he a dead ice, unlike Chum, which can just attach on as few as 1-Ice towers?

Not sure how you'd ever catch anyone in a Chum/Howler trap. Who ever face checks a Chum, can't break it, and yet doesn't jack out?

If they dont jack out, thats a win too. A 1 cost 4 str ETR ice is still pretty good. :)

Chum howler and Sensei howler are extremely effective against runners not running AI breakers. Chum and Sensei go great with Ichi as well. I'll spend the first few turns fortifying the centrals and building up a remote. Frequently I end up stacking enough ice on the remote that the runner will never run on it unless we're at game point or I'm threatening a mandatory upgrades. Being able to tell when its a good idea to drop an agenda or when I should bluff with an econ asset is a mandatory skill - if the ICE is taxing enough then an econ asset is just as effective as a trap. Scoring a Gila is usually pretty good, and I won't hesitate to use Biotic Labor on it if I need to - since there are no 3 pointers I have to score 4 agendas anyways so its not a waste to biotic out a "mere" 1 pointer. If I draw a mandatory upgrades with no hope of scoring it, overdraw with Jackson and ditch it.
