WARNING! This deck now is illegal, but you have just to swap Indexing with another card of your choice (I suggest Immolation Script or the second copy of Joshua B.).

I play this Tag Me deck since June 2015 and I was inspired by an italian champion that was using Quetzal: Free Spirit as his ID. The concept of this deck is the same: choke the Corp and destroy its resources.

The goal is to tax the Corp by force your opponent to rez the ICE protecting HQ. Then, with a lot of card draw effects you must find 1 copy of your Eater and begin to run hard with Account Siphon or Vamp (yes, I learned the meaning of "Schadenfreude" thanks to this card: it's a psychological term and means "joy in the disgraces of others" XD). If the Corp rez a bad piece of ICE, you have just to trash it with one of the lot of cards that trashes things. The Data Leak Reversal/Joshua B./Wireless Net Pavilion suite will does the rest of the work, or you may choose to dig deeply in R&D by using Medium when the Corp is poor. Indexing was a winning condition, but now I have to say farewell to it in favor of the powerful Parasites :'(

MY ONLY WARNING: Don't run on R&D or Archives if the Corp have at least 5: Architect is always a bad surprise. Ah, and take care of Crisium grids on HQ, if you can, by trashing the ICE in front of it, as I've already explained before.

BEST MATCHUP: NBN in general, most of all FA, and all Jinteki decks. Their ICE are so small and they melt as butter.

WORST MATCHUP: HB EtF. A lot of economical assets and just for an installation are bad things. Architect, Eli, Touring... you have to suffer in order to beat this deck XD. Pay attention also to Blue Sun: a mistake can be very dangerous!!

Thanks for your interest! Feedbacks are welcome! ;)

Stupid question... but how do you win? If Eater is your breaker, and you can't access cards when using Eater... how do you score agendas?

Keep them poor, and score them out of an unprotected R&D or Archives?

Thank you convoke for your comment!

If the Corp remains poor, and there are no rezzed ICE protecting R&D, you can easily acces cards in it or delve into it by using Medium. Or, in the same way, if you have a Data Leak Reversal, you can trash cards and take the agendas from Archives (and with a Wireless Net Pavilion, the Corp cannot trash your DLR so easily, because it is poor for the largest part of the game). Eater is only a tool for trashing ICE and get a succesful run for the purpose of Vamp and Account Siphon!
