Analyze That

I like to play with many Assets. Weyland Consortium: Because We Built It is a meh id, but for this deck it's the better one

Inspired by db0's "Untrashable" deck

I think in terms of pressure: how to make the Runner's life hard all the time

1). Remotes Pressure

GRNDL Refinery in the main Remote when not scoring Agendas = the Corp is rich (preferably) or the Runner is poor because of the constant "false Agenda" runs

Lots of assets and Encryption Protocol = either the Runner spends a lot of effort to trash them, or you use the assets for their benefits

Sometimes you even have a chance for a surprise Project Atlas score in a naked server (but don't do this too often and without some serious need)

2). HQ & R&D (Flatline) Pressure

Accessed Snare! + 1 rezzed Dedicated Response Team = 5 damage

If The Cleaners are scored, or with 2-3 Dedicated Response Teams = 6 and more damage

Ghost Branch, Shadow, Matrix Analyzer for extra Tags and side benefits

Never install Snare!, keep it in HQ if drawn. Remember, you can discard it by having 6+ cards at the end of a turn & then return it to R&D with Jackson Howard

When you have Dedicated Response Team ready for an ambush, better stay at 6+ credits.

Solo Scorched Earth for extra penetration. Search for it with Project Atlas to put the Runner on a blade's edge

3). Early Game Pressure

Hive and Chimera for fast scoring, not much more to say. Other Ice is penny cheap or pays for itself when played early.

Don't try to use id credit every turn. Advance your Ice without Matrix Analyzer only if other actions are bad right now

4). Late Game Pressure

At 5 points, if Project Atlas is scored with 2 agenda counters = win in two turns with Hostile Takeover: Search, Install, Advance, Advance, Score

Heavily advanced Swarm before Ice Wall or Chimera (not before Hive!) = a final surprise for an impenetrable server

Commercialization = closing bursts of cash, for maximum effect try to advance only Swarm and/or Ice Wall in the main Remote

Bad publicity is bad, so take it only to close the game

5). Preferable Ice distribution

Caduceus, Matrix Analyzer, Shadow = Centrals

Hive, Ice Wall, Swarm = Remotes

Chimera = Where you need it the most
