Whizzard is ill, he has a virus or two

Ok, this is my first anarch deck, and is definitely too many cards at the moment, but there are too many good things I want in!

Basic idea is building up the usual fixed breaker suite/datasucker combo, aimed at pressuring R&D primarily with medium, but with the ability to switch to HQ if I suspect an agenda flood. Djinn and Grimoire are the crux of the deck, and it is massively MU heavy hence the Akamatsu mem chips. Bishops, datasucker tokens, and parasites combined with ice carver destroy ice scarily faster. A rezzed archer with a parasite on it with one counter on it, can be destroyed with a bishop and merely two datasucker tokens so long as ice carver is out. Cheap at half the price! Ice carver is worth its weight in gold, as suddenly loads of ice becomes vulnerable to the fixed breaker suite. Morning star is expensive, but the deck can afford it with Kati, and then it pays for itself easily. New Angeles enables tag avoidance, and security testing makes archives safe to run vs Jinteki and a quick way of building money and virus counters.

Chakana I haven't tested yet, but touch wood it is pretty obvious why it is in their, hopefully coming out early on top of a grimoire. It should force the corp to purge virus counters far more often, dictating tempo, bishop providing a temporary counter to a lack of virus counters. Knight is there for emergencies primarily.

Any comments or advice are very much appreciated. I am very uncertain about the numbers of specific cards, and could do with some help on that front. The age old problem of wanting all the cards because they are all so useful!

I will not touch any wood thank you. I would cut the bishops, datasuckers should cover it. Your other 2 cuts might be 1 yog and 1 ice carver maybe? You'd have to draw like nuts though.

Taken your advice on board about the bishops and ditched them. Main problem is how slowly the deck can build up. Obviously, once it is up and running, it is unstoppable, but it does take a while to build up.

Or maybe I have just been playing against Jinteki too much.
