Ice up your centrals only, forcing the runner to take a bunch of tags if they want to get through. The idea's to score every agenda out of hand, via Trick of Light (using counters from your advanceable Weyland ice), Astroscript or Psychographics.

Have fun and, as always, suggest away! :D (Also TMI - yea or nay?)

Nay. Why not play Wraparound?

That was my first choice, but I thought I might get more utility out of TMI: with ChiLo out, you get to tag the runner on a successful rez, which is nice, and with no program trashers in the deck, Wraparound only stays useful til Corroder drops. I'll see how it fares though and swap it out if it's not working.

While you're here, Alsciende, this site is amazing :)

  • -2 Closed Accounts, +2 Bernice: In my experience with playing with and against ChiLo decks, they're not good at reliably tagging the runner unless you as the corp are also ready to pay out the butt to land traces. For this reason, I think 3 CA will result in them sitting in your hand rather than seeing use. Alternatively, Bernice is far and away the best card to combo with ChiLo. For 3 creds, on access, you hit them with an unavoidable trace 5 (oftentimes trace 7) and if it lands = 2 tags. If not, they paid a premium to avoid it and if they can't/don't trash Bernice, that same fate awaits them the next time they run.

  • -2 Uroboros, + 2 Data Ravens: Two traces at base 4 is great but even then I've found Uroboros to be far too expensive even more so when trying to be used in tandem with ChiLo. Raven is cheaper, has a trace on it and is super annoying. Most runners won't touch it until they are ready to go tag-me. And when they do, you'll be ready with your Psychographics/Market Research/Beale :D

I'm also a nay on the TMI. Just too expensive... Prime emergency shutdown target aside from Tollbooth.

Nice, they all sound like good suggestions!
