Doing One Thing - And One Thing Only! - Killing ICE!

At first sight this deck might seem like a Maxx deck with Whizzard and actually the identity isn't really set in stone, but I would rather take any id but Maxx or Valencia for this deck.

The main idea of this deck is, we want to trash stuff, especially we want to trash Ice!

Try to harass the Corp early in order to delay their game. Assets are easily trashed with Whizzard, so the Corp often has to react and protect their Assets and even RnD early on.

Then try to draw cards with Inject (Inject combos very well with Clone Chip) and IHW. (Don't keep it too long vs Weyland, as long as you have enough credits you are fine anyway)

Card we are looking for are: Desperado, Eater, Datasucker, Keyhole, Parasite, Clone Chip.

Good ol' Desperado and Datasucker will give us super value from running centrals and especially Keyhole value!

Try to clear Ice in front of RnD and then Keyhole for your entire turn for maximum profit.

The only combo this deck has trouble with is Architect and Crisium on RnD, but in that case we would have to allow Architect to fire once and destroy the Crisium. Overall Architect is not a huge problem, as long as he is alone and does not bring a twin brother. A single Architect on RnD will deny the value of running, but with the Desperado credit and Datasucker token we can still get in for a single credit, which is a quite reasonable price.

When you got into RnD with Keyhole your main focus is to trash Ice! We want to keep the hole open and deny the corp a good ice-up.

The cutlery suite is 2x Knifed and 1x Spooned for the following reasons: Sentries are often low strength and will die easily from Parasite, or in case of Archer won't show up early, so we can setup before and might even have more then enough Datasucker tokens to kill them easily. Don't give little kids (Eli) knives or they might get hurt, Knifed is really really strong vs Eli. Spooned is mainly in for Lotus Field, because we can not get value from Datasucker and need to get rid of it.

The Levy was actually the third Desperado, but we are drawing so many cards that we actually don't really need the third one, but we might run out of cards in our deck, so Levy is great for the long games.

Prepaid VoicePAD is good with so many events.

This is my fifth version of this deck and it is quite solid at the moment. Maybe it needs a Mimic or two, to deal with Architect better, but we will see.

I think with the recuring credit of Whizzard + the trash ICE power you have, Gravedigger would be a great addition.
