All blue

Initially, I wanted to use 419: Amoral Scammer for an all blue deck, but I had difficulties with the deck.

With Az McCaffrey: Mechanical Prodigy, it is much better. Here, you will get a lot of tempo from Masterwork (v37) and Prognostic Q-Loop. Coupled with Zenit Chip JZ-2MJ and Cezve, there is much to gain.

Three things to note :

1. Install Cat's Cradle as soon as possible, to tax the corp and to make sure to not lose it to damage.
2. Embezzle really shine. If you suspect fast advance, select Operation, if you see an asset spam deck, select Assets. You'll gain credits and take out cards from the corp.
3. Do not use No Free Lunch for money, this is the sole tag prevention of the deck.

Some flex slots :

• One Poison Vial could be taken out for an additional No Free Lunch.
• 2 The Class Act could be taken out for Blueberry!™ Diesel.
• Replacing Tapwrm with Concerto could be done, to promote using Prognostic Q-Loop. If you take it out, replace the Asmund Pudlat by an additional Mutual Favor and an additional No Free Lunch.
• If you dislike cybernetics, you could use Makler instead of Tremolo. This would give you a lot of slots to replace. I would suggest to add copies for Masterwork (v37) and Prognostic Q-Loop, to get them earlier.

This deck was a surprise for me, because it worked much better than I anticipated. Az McCaffrey: Mechanical Prodigy ability might not be stunning, but it help a great deal in setting up the board for a lower price. Also, Hernando Cortez does a surprising amount of tax to the corp, especially now that many ices have 2+ subs.

Experimenting with only criminal cards was quite interesting. It did not go as well as with Freedom Khumalo: Crypto-Anarchist, but I got it to work. A fun challenge.

Cheers!
