HammyNotTheHamster 39

This deck uses Manhunt and Data Ravens (boosted by Making News trace credits) to slowly tax the runner whenever they make a run. If they don't run and have limited breakers, climb aboard the Astro train, utilising early Chimeras if possible. If they go tag me with Manhunt, install Dedicated Response Team and watch them burn to the ground, following up with Scorch.

Great deck! I like the combination of tag and bag and economy denial. Do you find Chimera to be consistently useful? I find that Runners breeze through it by the mid-game.

Thanks! I did use to have Closed Accounts in here for econ denial but just found people too regularly avoided the tags or immediately cleared them. Probably less so now since order and chaos, I see plenty of tag me.

That's the biggest issue with my deck, having enough ice that's consistently good. Wraparound is awesome early game (and against Eater) but dies after they see a fractor. Chimera is the same really, only good early game. I only use it on scoring remotes exclusively, it's great at helping you score an early Astro if you don't see SanSan.

I haven't played against someone using O&C yet but I suspect brute force attacks with little regard for consequences. It would be interesting to see how metas develop!

Eli 1.0 and Viper have been consistently solid in my games. They're relatively affordable and maintain their taxing power until the late game. Also, they threaten to slow down Runners if the subroutines fire off or they click through them.

Viper could be a nice addition, I'd have to replace the lotus field though which I'm reluctant to do but definitely worth a test!
