Haarpy Deck

stubs20 7

The point of this deck is to draw out the mid-game as long as NBN can.

A lot of people will look at the ICE and think "TWO CARD COMBOS!!! NOOOOOO" but when you think about it, they are card A -> card B combos, but you can swap out different cards for A or B. Basically it is Tagging ICE -> Tag punishment ICE.

With Haarpsichord Studios you can not worry about multiaccess as much as well as throw down two agendas naked and be confident that you can score one of them.

Explode-a-palooza is like a NAPD Contract, but nets you more money, and the runner MUST steal it, opening up the Midseason Replacements/Scorched Earth play.

ICE is built around tag-harassment. They can either spend money breaking the ice or time and money shaking off the tags. If the runner goes tag-me, then we have a few ways of making it hurt, besides Scorched Earth. Psychographics for fast advancing/over advancing Project Beale. Closed Accounts and Universal Connectivity Fee for making getting through Pachinko and Muckraker difficult.

This deck should make plenty of money for the Midseason Replacements with Celebrity Gift, Sweeps Week, and Hedge Fund, but I threw in 2x Pop-up Window for good measure.

One concern I have is not being able to utilize Award Bait. Unless I have another agenda out, I have no way of using the advancement counters. I was thinking of throwing in a Ice Wall/Trick of Light package, but opted for more money.

In testing this deck, the only down side is if the Runner goes TagMe really early, and I can't find my Scorched Earths or Psychographics/Project Beale.

Why are you not running Information Overload, probably the most punishing tag punishment ice? Not saying you should or shouldn't, just wondering.

I've been thinking more and more about adding a Information Overload.

Cons

  1. It is a tad expensive, 6 creds is usually saved for the double scorch play if they foolishly leave a tag on.
  2. I already have 6 Sentries, and adding another may be pushing it.

Pros

  1. It fills both the Tagging ICE and the Tag Punishment ICE slots.
  2. It would help with the early TagMe problem, adding another piece that I can dig for that would ruin their day.

Honestly, I am just waiting for the next big box to come out so I make the switch to SYNC: Everything, Everywhere, with Improved Tracers.
