GvC Iain

Charlesworth 73

This is the Iain deck I am hoping to take to a charity event coming up in the UK soon. Help appreciated.

The tournament has random IDs (so I got Iain and Cerebral Imaging) and because my other deck is somewhat slow I need a quicker runner deck which, let's be honest, is not Iain strong point.

Let me explain some card choices: Run events - This should all make sense, they are all very good and run events really are a Criminal decks best cards.

Breaker Suite/Special Order - Iain has really low influence and Criminal breakers are not the best so I needed to spend most of my influence here. I have tried to make sure I can handle all ICE with what I am packing. Because I am playing all 1 ofs breakers I am also playing Special Order to find what I need when I need it.

Forged Activation Order - This is an attempt to make Special Order better as you can find out what you need without face checking it. Not sure about this however.

Logos - I love this card! Maybe Desperado is better but often the free tutor finds what you need.

HQ Interface - This card is just OK as often HQ gets ICEd heavily against us but late game it combos well with Inside Job to get through at hit two cards.

Decoy/Crash Space/Film Critic - These are my meta game calls. Because IDs are random the top tier decks will not be out in force. There for I went with some stuff to protect against Tag and Bag and Film Critic to doge Jinteki shenanigans and NAPD. Film Critic can also combo with Iain to make his ability trigger more often.

Econ Resources - Pretty self explanatory. Iain tends to be super poor but I think I am just rich enough to survive. I recently added the second Kati to hopefully help.

Same Old Thing - A lot of the Events are powerful and so playing them multiple times is always good.

That is pretty much it. Thought and feedback encouraged and let me know how you get on with it if you try it out.
