Nasir ICE destruct with Grimoire

cspieker 104

Destroy ICE with parasite/suckers/wyrm. With Nasir's ability you immediately have credits to bring ICE down to zero strength with Wyrm, to insta-destroy upon rez.

Having enough money is the crux, since killing with Wyrm costs 2x strength of ICE - 1. Suckers help a lot as does the virus counter you get on Parasite from Grimoire (bring the cost down by 2 for each virus counter). Ghost runner and Net Celebrity are your other options for making up the difference. Archer is the worst (7 extra credits necessary after getting the Nasir money), while Janus pays for itself to die. You gain profit from killing Tsurugi.

Note that if you have Grimoire out you can insta-parasite any 0 or 1 strength ICE and kill after rez but before encounter which prevents Nasir from losing all his money (but also prevents him from gaining, so for something like Komainu you want to insta-parasite after encounter).

You can insta-parasite with Clone chips, SMC's, or Parasites on Personal Workshop.

Strategy of this particular flavor of Nasir the Destroyer is to get out Replicator early, use it to get all your Clone chips out, and use a copy of the Replicator to Trade-in for Grimoire. Destroy all the ICE you can, then Levy to renew Clone chips and Parasites. If you can install an SMC before you Levy, that can help keep up the momentum.

This deck can be fun, but very fiddly. Good luck!

This approach is viable i use a similar method i think wyrm is a mistake though, its quite the expensive program and in my experience Nasir never has any money. I personally don't use many resource's for the same reason.

I think you want more atman's i really have found them useful the bigger the ICE the better the atman it really synergy's quite well with Nasir. I don't feel you need 2 LALA either one should be fine with SoT in their.

@Pinkwarrior Try the deck out. A variant of this went 5-0 in a local tournament (piloted by cspieker himself).
