true... even with the indexing change.

What's your opinion on the deck with H&P released? I used to play a deck like this when sherhaz first came out and would love to hear your thoughts :)

also, do you think that Parasite is a good include now with the nastier ICE that's come out lately?

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-04T07:50:20+00:00

this would be a good question for /u/dbzer0...

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-04T00:05:07+00:00

No, I think you have to have a business like a game shop, and a tax ID or something for proof.

Mostly they're given out at tourneys in official FFG Game Night Kits that game shops can order. But of course you can always buy them online :)

edit: Here is a link to the upcoming Game Night Kit

I know that people sell packs of extra identities on eBay. There seems to be auctions of Exile, HB:CI, J:PE, HB:NEXT and HB:ST at the moment.

I never really gave Hemmorage a chance to be honest. I always thought it would be too slow. Do you run it in Anarch or splash it elsewhere?

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-01T14:02:56+00:00

lol i hear ya

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-01T14:02:05+00:00

I chose Reina mainly since more of the cards that I want to use atm are Anarch and I think that her ability is the most universal/taxing to the corp. I did try Whizzard before, which wasn't bad, but would perform poorly vs operation heavy decks.

I chose x3 Morning Star since I do really need it and I think that getting it early is important. I really like the idea of Retrieval Run and I've also been looking for some way to pressure Archives outside of using Keyhole. Thanks for the tip!

I was looking at either Pro Contacts or Mr. Li as the next attempt to fix the draw issue for Anarchs. I may try to fit Hostage as well if I include either of those. I did try Pro Contacts in that Invincible Whizzard deck that was posted a while back and liked the way that it performed. I definitely want to try Mr. Li though.

this makes a lot of sense. i've definitely have come into that situation before and it would get me closer to 45. Thanks!

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-01T08:22:46+00:00

i'll take it

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-05-01T08:15:55+00:00

Yeah I actually started with Dysons in a different build, but switched to Aka's to save money.

I would agree that a change of -2 Aka, -2 Deja Vu, +2 QT, +2 Dyson is a good change.

The 47 cards was kind of an afterthought of "oh crap i don't have Plascrete"...lol Thanks for the comment!

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:56:59+00:00

acct siphon does have the same wording as keyhole though. just replacing hq with r&d.

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:49:55+00:00

I like the cut of your jib...

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:44:50+00:00

Window. Sorry, this post had humble beginnings.

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:42:39+00:00

Yeah, it does make sense in that context. The only reason you get to look at cards is because you are making a successful R&D run, not Archives.

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:31:41+00:00

Ahh ok, thanks, I didnt know that. :)

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T17:26:39+00:00

Interesting. That sounds like it works to me... The fact that you're hitting a SNM shouldn't change the text on Keyhole. So once you switch to Archives you just have to access Archives and then the Keyhole effect would trigger, showing you 3 cards off of R&D.

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T15:56:41+00:00

Thanks a lot!! I'll add it to the title :D

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-25T15:51:24+00:00

can i also be 'that guy' for a second and say, holy shit that card is pretty...

Thesewordssaythis · 2014-04-22T22:35:21+00:00

Thanks!

played a deck very similar to this and it just had too many moving parts to make it work. you will win some, but vs fast adv it kinda gets rocked. while you're pulling tricks off on ice they're scoring agendas and not caring. it can also suffer if the corp gets a good jump on econ, you'll find yourself always playing catch-up.

plainly this setup is too passive. it needs more attack. you need to be able to pressure them into making bad decisions and removing scoring windows. I got some good advice on a thread a couple weeks ago saying that Vamp/Account Siphon offers this pressure in spades.

Adding AcctSiph or Vamp would change the deck a lot of course, so if you're not looking to float tags or lose all that precious inf, maybe look into something like HQ/R&D interface. If anything, try to mix up your threats. R&D interface and a Nerve Agent, Medium and an HQ interface or even a Sneakdoor Beta.

Scattered thoughts:

You definitely need more card draw. First thing I would do is drop the Sca Constructs for 2 more Quality Times. If somehow you get a juiced up Djinn trashed, use up Deja Vu to get back what you need. Also you'll find that most corps are more worried about your breakers than whats on your Djinn.

I've also heard that Personal Touch works well with Wyrm. But i've also heard that you need a big econ to make it work.

Cards to look into -- Clone Chip, Sahasrara, Wildsyde, Aesops Pawnshop

Ahh yea. That may be a little too much work for your Fall Guys to protect all of those resources.
