It's funny when the runner can't trash a snare

Dragon53170 226

Went 4/1 with this at store championship. The one opponent who didn't lose had no cards left in deck and said he never wanted to do that again upon winning.

wow... everything so taxing! tax agendas tax ice, tax ID.

Any lackluster/MVPs you want to point out? like is Troll good enough in non Making News? 3x Ronin worth it? Econ good enough without the gifts/funds? Did you miss jackson for overwriter/ronin recursion, faster draw and agenda hiding?

The deck looks solid, and I could see myself picking it up :D

Oh and how often do you win by scoring?

Is there an advantage of using this I.D. over PE? I suppose you are going to try to get Shock! or Shi.Kyu into your archives face down so they can't trash snares from HQ/R&D?

Did you run into any Account Siphon?

I took one cerebral and one troll away to replace the subliminals with reuses. Then I realized that i have loads of money and I started to thinking about adding Shinobi(s) and/or tsurugi(s). I guess I have to experiment some more.

Can you please just go through how you pilot this deck?

And how do you do make money to pay ICEs , Assets and advancing cards??

You don't really need much of an economy with this deck because everything is so cheap. all of your stuff essentially protects itself so you want to make them play at your speed. If you need credits just click for a turn and discard something. Ronins and cerebral overwriters are key to this deck you want to mushin those and advance them up to 4 if they don't get run on. Once you have one thing advanced up to 4 constantly ask how many cards they have in hand. Once you have 2 things advanced up to 4 I find the runner gets too antsy and runs recklessly normally this ends in a kill. If you think they are too scared to run try scoring agendas out and it will get them running.

Also self destructs can be used to "safely" score future perfects because if they run on it you can trash the agenda and the psi game triggers from archives as well.

It seems like Account Siphon, Vamp, Lamprey, etc. would really ruin your day. Your ICE is super porous, and if you have less than 3 your trap suite loses a lot of effectiveness.

@Jashay is probably right on all the cards he mentioned, especially since you can't dump the credits to rez assets before the Siphon as you don't have good targets to rez. Noise: Hacker Extraordinaire could also ruin your day, not just due to your lack of Jackson Howard but having tons of Imps to disable Neural EMPs etc. and all your ice being great targets for Parasite.

From watching and playing against the deck, Noise just makes it harder for himself, Account Siphon is really the only thing that hurts, and it really only kinda of hurts, his ice is so cheap that he just takes a turn of credits and can be back on his feat.

Well, some poor Noise players visiting archives every 2-3 cards might be hurting themselves but have you read what i've said? :)

Playing Noise I don't care about the trash cost, coz i'm running imps. I don't care about such piecese of ice, coz I literally obliterate it. If you mean the Ronins, i'll first race you to your Neural EMPs and uninstalled Ronins :) And you won't be left alone in peace until you spend your turn getting rid of Lampreys. And every couple of games you might even get locked out from the traditional win condition after enough agendas get irreversibly trashed.

I see no econ and no jackson(the second depends on matches). It looks very very poor, as deck. only 1 siphoon could kill u roughly...

I have used Kitsune in a similar deck, and it works extremely well for directing runners towards my snares.
