Knowing The Opponent

MKcrimson 29

If this deck fights a shaper, it's psi psi vs CyCy.

Fast Track gives me the fun tech of "I'm running 8 Agendas you can find and 9 that I can." Rushing out a second Nisei during a scoring window is something runners are not happy with.

This looks like the kind of RP deck I'd like to move towards after trying out the Grail ICE. However, I'm not sure Marcus Batty is doing a lot of work in this deck. He seems to deal most damage by running a trash program on Ichi and otherwise works as a one time caprice, right?

I mean, mini-Caprice is far from the worst thing in the world. If I could play more than 3 Caprice Nisei, I certainly would.

The other fun Marcus Batty thing is the combo with Susanoo-No-Mikoto and a Crick on Archives. Crick taxes pretty much everything but Atman-6 and D4v1d for some hilarious amount, meaning you either get a natural scoring window or you just get to put Marcus back into whatever server he was protecting.

Having an ICE layout like Ichi 1.0 in front of a Lotus Field is already kind of cool against Net-Ready Anarch since this forces the Anarch to use a Datasucker counter on Ichi. With Batty behind this server, this gets even better since you can fire the program trash onto the Mimic.

better is having ichi on archives and susan on the remote, hitting the susan sub while the runner is running the remote, redirecting them to ichi on at best click 2, but often 3 :)
