System Core 2019 Anarch Reina (BRW Teaching Decks)

Just Publishing some decks I'm using for teaching this weekend for Jnet import ease!

Teaching fundamentals and tweaking decks to different architypes

Please note this is not strictly legal for System Core 2019 as it runs 3 copies of patchwork.

To make it Sys Core 2019 legal -1 Patch Work & +1 Mimic or Lamprey

Playing as Reina: (A look at some key cards in the deck)

Imp.

A key anarch card – Imp will let you trash ANYTHING you come across for the cost of 1 Virus Token, even things that can’t usually be trashed like operations and ice (note – you can only trash ice you are accessing in HQ/R&D - NOT ice that has been installed). Particularly strong against open centrals as it acts like pseudo multiaccess allowing you to run back and see a fresh card.

Retrieval Run.

Recursion for your programmes which means you can aggressively check ice and not even worry about losing an icebreaker! Has great synergy with Femme Fatale, allowing you to install a Femme that you have thrown in archives for 3 Credits (instead of 9), also useful for pulling back more Imp’s or an Abagnale you have trashed to use the bypass option.

Run Amok.

A 1 of but a powerful way to challenge a server with unrezzed ice if you suspect an agenda score. – Maybe the corp can rez something to stop you but you will get to trash it if they do. Can put the copr in a real tricky situation.

Data Sucker & Ice Carver

These cards will reduce the strength of ice and will make you runs much more efficient, as well as enabling Mimic to break sentries with strength higher than 3. Data sucker will also give your runs on central servers extra value.

Reina (the id), Xanadu & Lamprey

Reina is a credit denial Id so ideally wants to put on lots of pressure to force the corp to rez at least 1 piece of ice per turn, Xanadu can be a great way of adding more pressure in the early game, but is only worth installing if the corp hasn’t already rezzed a lot of their ice, and lamprey can put extra pressure on the corp to ice HQ. Because of this Emergency shutdown can be a great include if you are looking to spice up the deck a little.

Patchwork.

This can represent a large amount of econ if you find it early gaining you 2c a turn at the expense of a card, you will need good card draw to feed the patchwork and once you’ve got it down you need to embrace the Anarch mindset trashing your own cards left and right to gain the advantage.
