HB FA v1.2

deaddrop 53

HB Fa deck preping for a run of SC's that are coming up. Idea is to throw out lots of cheap and somewhat taxing ice (Eli NEXT Erand Boy) and FA stuff out of hand using operations for econ.

Previous version went 4-1 in store championship using SanSan instead of 3xDBS and 3xSfSS. This version has dropped GLC and SanSan in favor of using DBS and SfSS to cycle through deck and score biotic agendas cheaper.

Would lvoe any feedback, but its mostly a straight forward FA deck. Currently doesnt ahve any MaxX of cutlery hate.

I've played HB FA for a long time, and I think the deck is playable without SanSan City Grid. If you are playing two Sleepers, then you might want to squeeze an Archer in here.

I am really curious about Errand Boy. That is quite a nice swing or tax. Part of me wonders, given the high rez cost whether Pop-up Window wouldn't be better. Perhaps Errand boy is more likely to eat a parasite, keeping the NEXT ice in play longer. I would cut one Beanstalk and one Shipment for influence.

You need either a Wraparound or a Crisium Grid. Eater/Keyhole/Siphon is a thing, and you have nothing here that would even pretend to slow it down. Since you are playing 3 DBS, you can probably go down to 2 Jacksons to free up one influence.

Finally, as cool as Blue Level Clearance is, I would go with two of them and one more Archived Memories. Sometimes Reclamation Order's double-click cost hurts. I would still play RO, but I would also play AM.

Good luck!

Thanks for the feedback!

After playing a bunch of games with this found it worked quite well, though Reclamation Order was rarely work playing and should have been an AM.

Errand boy works nicely for drawing into a biotic combo or getting the runner to fuel a combo by running into a bit like pop up window but it does tend to get parasited pretty fast, so pop up window might just be a better option.

I'll probably swap out a Jackson/DBS and Errand Boy for CG and the other Errands for Pop Up Windows and give that a try next. Also swap the Reclamation order for Archived Memories.
