The Soldiery Store Championship 2nd Place Runner Deck

A very standard Atman focused Kate deck. Desperado and Datasucker make for phenomenally efficient runs and makes it very hard to keep me out of centrals. Early game I like to face check the first few ICE with an SMC/Datasucker out and see what sort of rig I need to run. If ICE is low strength, sick an atman on 0 or 1 and parasite through to put pressure on. If ICE is strong, don't be afraid to place out a really high STR atman to deal with trouble pieces (Femme is also an option). Against varying strength ICE, I made it my number one priority to get and keep two data suckers on the field to make the legwork easier. I also rarely needed to mulligan as having either ProCo or Diesel in hand was enough to get rolling. The singleton ICE breakers are for various situations that call for them (Sharpshooter for Archer/rig destruction ICE, Deus X for snares/Jinteki, and Enti for Wraparound). If the game gets to a end point, I would typically have 3 Atman (at 0, 2, and most likely 4 STR) and 2 datasuckers as my breaker suite making it extremely hard to keep me out of even the most well protected of servers. In the end, this deck's presence was felt as it won all 5 games against corporations this store championship.
