Yogzilla vs Mecha-ICE!!!

In which our beloved anti-hero Yogzilla stomps its way through the fiendish corporate ICE, leaving merely rubble in its wake.

This is another evolution of my search for the perfect Yog.0saurus build. I end up using Paintbrush to paint even Eli into a Code Gate, so I can save influence on Corroder by switching to Inti. Femme Fatale rounds out the breaker suite with her excellent ability to bypass truly heinous ice like Curtain Wall.

What to do with the spare influence? Add aggression! Kit is by nature an aggressive Shaper since she can start running and causing pain right out of the gate with her in-built Inside Job-like ability. Adding aggressive tools in Shaper works best as programs, since memory and tutoring are cheap. Given the Godzilla theme, it seemed like the natural route (and the route that gives most cover to Shaper's weaknesses) is to go for things that will make the corp have a hard time raising and maintaining defenses.

• Datasucker: I've gone back and forth on this, but it's really really useful to be able to boost Yog0saurus to beat an Archer if needed. An all around great program for cheap influence; what's more to ask?

• Imp: The other option for this slot is Sneakdoor Beta. I love the option of barging in the back door when the front gets locked up, but Imp really helps with expensive econ asset trashes, or throwing SanSan into the gutter where it belongs. Additionally, if I see an Archer coming up in RnD, this guy can blast it away before it ever hits the table. If it doesn't give me the mileage I want, I'll go back to Sneakdoor Beta.

• Nerve Agent: This is a crucial card that gives Shaper the ability to really make HQ feel like a dangerous place to keep agendas. I've won several games by plopping that down late and charging into HQ when I suspect the agendas are piling up, or after a Fast Track.

• Parasite: I haven't played with this in the deck yet, but it was a natural replacement for the 2 inf gained from switching from Corroder to Inti, done mainly because Inti is cheaper for the uses I was getting from it. Parasite goes very well with Datasucker, obviously, and also is a good answer for low strength taxing ice like Komainu or Tsurugi.

The strategy will be to run early and often, throwing Yog.0 as soon as possible (before Dinosaurus if needed; it can always be Scavenged back on) and build up pressure on RnD and HQ with R&D Interface and Nerve Agent. Meanwhile, use Femme Fatale to blast your way into remotes just when they think they're safe and keep them looking for a safe place to keep their agendas. If ICE starts to thicken up, use Paintbrush, Parasite and even Scavenge Femme Fatale in order to edge your way into the server you want to put pressure on.

Play it well, and no ICE fortress can withstand your mighty rage.
