[SG+SU21] Cooking René

This deck is only based on System Gateway and System Update 2021. I would suggest to play this after practicing a little bit with the Starter Deck.

A few notes on the deck:

1. Try to setup with Cookbook and some DZMZ Optimizer. Carnivore is nice to have but not mandatory in the first turns. Anyway it can be really useful against a Corp that wants to use Punitive Counterstrike or Neurospike as a winning condition since it allows you to trash that cards even if they don't have a trash cost.

2. Cookbook will make Botulus, Fermenter and Leech come in to play with one additional virus token -> nice!

3. Your main economy are Sure Gamble, Liberated Account and Fermenter. I normally wait for a Career Fair before playing a Liberated Account or an Earthrise Hotel (and, why not, Ice Carver) since a 3 discount is huge (but of course it depends on the situation).

4. Try to leave Fermenter fermenting as much as you can (I would say at least 4 tokens), just be aware that the Corp can purge all the viruses for and this would also include the tokens on Botulus and Leech.

5. Your ability will give 1 card and 1 for trashing a card that you are accessing. If the Corp has an unprotected server it is generally worth paying a visit. Carnivore and Scrubber will help with the trashing cost. If R&D is unprotected don't be shy and trash as much as you can over multiple runs (this will also charge your Leech). Just be aware of Snare!! ;)

6. Some of your breakers are really efficient at breaking multiple subroutines (Buzzsaw and Cleaver) and all of them have a base strength of 3 that would allow you to interface with most of the cheap ices without the need of increasing the strength.

7. Mimic cannot increase its strength (!) but there are only three sentries in System Gateway + System Update 21 that have a strength greater than 3: Ansel 1.0, Archer and Ballista. One virus token on Leech or an installed Ice Carver will allow you to interface with Ansel 1.0 or Ballista using Mimic. Archer will require some more work ;) Also remember that Botulus is here to help with annoying ices.

8. Docklands Pass and The Maker's Eye are here to close the game since they will grand you multiple accesses. This is in addition to your regular "trashing activities" that could also put pressure on R&D.

Mulligan: you normally want to have a Sure Gamble or a Fermenter in your first hand. You could also keep a hand with Career Fair and a Liberated Account or an Earthrise Hotel. Cookbook or DZMZ Optimizer are really good in the starting hand but I would not keep them in a hand without economy.
