The Perfect Murder

Bring the runner into a state of deep zen, Mushin No Shin or Mind Without Mind with this deck. Do you hate it when you kill the runner but have to bride the police afterwards? I know I do, so why don't you suck the runner into that dedicated Cerebral Overwriter with a whirlpool? That crafty runner found a way to get past the whirlpool? then relocate the server to Port Anson. Whats great is that when the runner sees that overwriter he just seems to love changing his brain "for the better" and what is even better than that? Well that runner just got his brain removed so the authorities have no data to blackmail you!

Play wise this is a simple deck: mushin out an overwriter make sure to advance it to 4 tokens then next turn rez it and dedicate it giving you 7 tokens. Either install Port Anson on it or Whirlpool then just Aginfusion to force them to keep running it and either trash their programs until they die or just drown em in the waves. This deck loses to Polop which then you can just do it again or redirect the HQ runs, and it loses to Recon Drone, which is unplayed. Or maybe stacked feedback filter and Biometric spoofing both of which you can either advance over the limit or are unplayed. If you are a runner playing against this deck make sure to put a load of pressure on RD and HQ as well as any mushined anything, Trash Overwriters and Port Ansons and Jacksons. But actually the hardest counter to this deck is really tech cards and noting else Polop mainly.

Edit: Why brain damage and cerebrals over junebugs and net damage? Simply because there is much more ways to reduce net damage than brain damage. Also brain doesn't trigger I've had worse.

Edit 2: I haven't lost a game in ~15 on Jnet casual. This deck is actually surprisingly prisonish it stops the runner from being able to run. If they do run they either lose a program or they just die. What's even better is that they don't really realize they can't run, only 1 has. So the kill usually comes with a "Oh. Well shit" from the runner.

Edit 3: !!!WARNING!!! due to the text on Aginfusion you cannot rez the whirlpool when you redirect to your cerebral sever. This is due to the fact where you can't rez during encounter only approach. What I suggust is just having a port anson grid I;m currently trying to find a nice way to rez the whirlpool and will update when I found a nice way to do it.

To be fair, you wouldn't exactly need to have Dedication Ceremony to pull this off. If you're really worried about Political Operative, and can smell it a mile away, keep your information hidden. You'll lose a click or two if you advance Cerebral manually, but you'll keep it safe from those pesky politicians. You'll be vulnerable to Drive By, but who's playing that.

What's best, you'll free up influence to - I dunno... Something cool! Hunter Seeker perhaps? You might need to bribe someone, but then again, who did you bribe to get a monopoly status on growing crops on Mars? Oh, you can't tell...

The idea is wacky and awesome though. I'll be sure to try it.
