Personal Product Placement '19

Excited to take this one out for a spin! Some pretty unconventional lines of play: Kitsune and Shiro are guaranteed money and may even end the game on their own, though Kitsune less reliably so.

The key interaction centers on Bacterial Programming. The ability is incredibly potent on its own and even more so when paired with Mwanza City Grid. It allows you to flood HQ with ambushes, or shove ambushes to the top of RD. Then, poor Runner goes through the gauntlet -- often worse for wear -- and you rake in cash. If Ben Musashi is rezzed, then you have decent odds of getting the flat-line.

Of course, Film Critic shuts this strategy down by nullifying Bacterial Programming AND Fetal AI. That's where Malia Z0L0K4 and Sadaka come in -- just some Resource hate for Runners that bring protection.

What else... Product Placement is cool! After you rearrange your cards or flood HQ, when the Runner bumps into one you gain an instant two credits, which enables you to more readily fund a Snare! you may have been too poor for just a moment ago.

And what if the Runner wises up and avoids your centrals? Well... You can use Bio Vault to bait runs or even shut them down in the future. It being an upgrade is a huge blessing -- just IAA and wait. If the Runner doesn't clear it, you're basically guaranteed a scoring window.

ID, Enforced Curfew, Genetics Pavilion, House of Knives, and Kakugo facilitate a kill. Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Chiyashi act as rarely seen cards that can be used in clutch situations.

Finally, there is a lot of RD manipulation in this deck, which I really enjoy. It fits into my style of play and really allows me to manipulate my board state.
