Single Point Failure

The key thing about this deck is that it's an MVP assassin. Resource annoying you? Let the Runner score an Agenda and then trash it. Bunch of breakers or a Levy in the heap? No problem. Take a long look at all the stuff I can trash from your deck easy.

Then, a good kill condition doesn't hurt. And since you have a good way to kill Film Critic etc, it's hard to defend against.

In terms of ice, somehow the list works, which for me was also surprising. I might drop a Bulwark, but trashing progs is obviously very useful in this deck, and stops the runner from facechecking you. Even better in this regard is Mausolus. Major tax for almost every runner and little penalty on your side. Sapper is nice and cheap, a good way to kill an early Medium.

Jackson is mainly good for getting back the operations you played and could be swapped for preemptive visit, this is slightly worse because Jackson's draw ability does speed up the game.

4-advancing an Atlas early in 1/3 games is already enough to guarantee a win. You can use it to tutor an unbreakable ice - given that Faust is not popular now. You can get the second operation you need to kill in one turn. You can get a 1pt agenda if you are at 6 points. Early scoring is easy, which helps to win Current battles. I still carry 2 currents around because a Strike does hurt.

Excited to play this at real games cause on Jinteki my win rate is off the charts with this one.
