God this is prickly as all hell. I love it. I worry about econ a bit, maybe some Celebrity Gifts would be good? Your deck slots are real tight though.

Been there, seen that - Defective Brainchips with Tori Hanzō is something I'd hate to see again...

This isn't simply brainchips with tori hanzo. You have Marcus Batty now, who would ensure either the net for Tori or Brain straight away ( if there is a victor in that server).

Needless to say PE enhances the kill potential by a drastic amount.

I made 3 decks - PE, Nisei and Genomics. I think the PE has upmost potential, however the Nisei deck has Cerebral Casts, which with Defective Brainchips ... U get the idea.

What do you think of Fenris finding a place in a deck like this? The Bad Pub really stings but it's also a lot easier to get that Brain Damage to stick over Viktor.

I thought about it, but on first glance it was looking like the bad pub is too much of a downside. On the other hand, this deck hardly cares that much about the runner's money.

That being said, once the opponent knows what to expect and they start running prepaired for Fenris, not only you will give them bad pub, but also not land the brain damage too. Furthermore if u dont rezz the ice, u cant Marcus Batty them. So if u consider that, Victor is better since its easier to rezz, no bad pub and it gives u the sub for Batty.

With your Nisei Division version - Cerebral Cast is great, but if they choose to get tagged you probably want a way to follow up on that. Does the Nisei version run Scorched/Closed Accounts/any tag punishment?

Wonder what (if anything) your last two influence here should go on too - I mean, if the deck runs better at 13 inf keep it as-is, but I personally find it easy to overspend on inf and have to rein myself back in :P

The 2 inflence here I have no idea into what they could go. That's why it is at 13.

The Nisei Division is great, but it makes for one "small" issue. You want to have 3 Cerebral Casts, 3 Neural EMPs, 3 chips, tag punishment ( closed/scorch ) ... Even if you dont run Mushin no Shin in it, it still makes you clog your hand with operations which you need to wait for the right momenta ( especially the neurals). Only thing I have came up to address this is with the WeylanD HQ upgrade for +2 handsize?

In the PE version no cerebral casts, but u have the extra damage threat.

Great first draft. I'd prefer Shocks for the damage trap because Tori is going to be eating up your Snare money. She's expensive and so is a 2c Current. That money has to come from somewhere. Your ICE seems spot on. Maybe toss in some Bakos to score that first HoK. Fundraiser would be a hell of a good econ option. Maybe toss in 1x Kitsune.
