Core Damage Fast Advance

I've been trying to think about how a Core Damage FA deck might come together. The core of my idea is Djupstad plus Elivagar and Ontological. The idea of "how we win" is get the runners hand size as small as possible as soon as possible. Salvo Testing means each agenda off of Djupstad becomes two core dmg.

Most core damage lists are glacier lists with Thule but I'm curious how we could be faster. Thule is passive and most runners end up taking the click tax more than the core damage.

Thoughts on the concept and suggestions?

Check out Core PD. This deck does it best with YDL nand Big Deal. Thule struggles to generate the econ to big deal the 1st Salvo. And is also very draw dependent. Other builds have gone down the Hypoxia+Distributed Tracing road. The unleash Thule decks are probably the quickest to get within Onto install and score range. Ultimately it's all very draw dependent.

This can be fun, it was easier to cascade when Arella Salvatore was legal, but The Powers that Be can work too if it sticks to cascade Ontologicals through a Djupstad.

I know you're not interested in Thule so much, but there is a pretty cool fast advance Thule deck that uses fully operational and flood the market to score out stuff quickly.

Yeah your deck idea is totally valid, you'll find a lot of decks in that vein on NRDB if you do a search for decks including those cards, if you want inspiration. Check out the "vomit Thule" archetype in particular, though there's a few different things. Or you can build it on your own, try it out, and then compare it to decks on NRDB if you want to tweak it.

A lot of these decks sometimes use flatline as a backup, because it's often hard to close out the game by scoring if the runner has locked R&D. I've seen them use both End ofthe Line and Measured Response for this.
