Personally id change Shadow for Hunter its stronger and cheaper and 2c per run through is neither here nor their if their breaking it. I also feel Project Atlas should be in the deck it gives you search for your Scorched Earth or Punitive Counterstrike for example.

I put this deck together for a Winter 2014 GNK tournament and it got me second place. It went 4-1 only losing to my buddy who I playtested with the day before. So he knew that he only needed to run on double advanced remotes and broke my Curtain Walls easily with D4v1d recursion. If the runner knows the deck I would surely change the agenda composition, with Project Atlas and Hostile Takeover probably. And throw in a trap or two like Shattered Remains.

It's a really fun deck to play if the runner doesn't know what's coming though. The reason I went with 7 three pointers is to force the runner to steal 3 agendas, which gives me a greater opportunity to kill him. And it also means that a double Punitive Counterstrike is enough in most cases.

Hunter is a good alternative to Shadow I agree, but I do like their econ potential if I can't find Curtain Wall+Oversight AI early or it gets trashed.

In the end though, it outperformed my expectations and I had really fun with it. I won twice with double Punitive Counterstrike, once with Snare!>Scorched Earth and actually once by scoring three agendas.

Oh, and it would be hilarious to try with Government Takeover once O&C comes, epic Punitive Counterstrikes, more unreliable though since it has to be the first agenda he steals.

@Siegl Good to hear your enjoying it and that you did well with it. I play a regular group so i have to look at making my decks a little more unpredictable, but it looks like a solid kill deck.

Alexander here! Thanks for playing the games against me a second time after you won hilariously fast. At least on the corp side I've figured out some good changes (s/MMC/Eve Campaign). Just so everyone knows: your Snare! --> Scorch win doesn't really count because I was playing like a blindfolded idiot. You won the rematch as well, but at least you had to struggle a bit that for that victory :)

I'm on my phone now so I can't easily link my decks. I'll do it when I get home. If you're incredibly impatient you can always search for my username amongst the published decks...

Thanks for showing up to our little tournament. Any chance I could get your friends lists for stimhack publication?


PS. Bara idioter och fjollor som spelar med Snare!. Så att du vet. Vill inte att du ska ha en snedvriden självbild :p

It's cool, Hannes gave them to me and I sent them to stimhack. Hopefully they'll show up there soon.
