Really nice and strong list. May fall flat to a really lucky indexing or something but the list is strong, the deck is not tiring to the player and wins. Nice list.

Didn't even give me credit for getting you to play this, shocking ;)

Cool looking list. My only question would probably concern Interns. What gets trashed here that you need to re-install? It seems like Archived Memories could do the same thing and get you a Hedge, Peak, or Punitive back.

@Cerberus- if I knew how to add credit to your deck in the derived from thing on here, I would for sure. Either way, everyone, go check out Cerberus's blood angel deck because it was the inspiration for this one.

`@Oisin - at least 95% of the time, Interns is used on either Melange or Ash, where using archived memories would make absolutely no difference mechanically. The advantage that Interns has over Archived Memories is that it ignores all costs, so can be cheaper to rescue parasited ice late game by a fair amount.

Has running only 1 domestic sleepers screwed you at all? If your opponent snags it, you're stuck having to score out 3 543s. I would personally go to 2 just for safety, but that's just me.

Since making this list, I've changed an architect for the second sleepers. It hadn't screwed me over, but the potential for it to do so was definitely there.

I'd still go for Archived Memories over Interns just to have the option to flatline with just one Punitive Counterstrike - You can shoot, archived mem, and kill.

Any feedback on Melange? I personally love this card, though I don't feel like these days 7 credits for 3 clicks is worth it. There are other ways to get rich, especially in HB, dont you think?

all in all, quite interesting deck!

Melange is probably MVP in most games. It's a ridiculously efficient money engine, means you can run with only 1 remote (as opposed to the other asset economy which can back up unless you create more than 1), and often drags the runner into incredibly taxing runs which open up scoring windows.

I can see that I'm going to have to test this with AM instead of Interns, because you're not the only one who has made that comment.
