What's behind door number 2?

This is an aggressive tempo deck that exploits traps and back channels to take advantage of Haarpsichord's lateral play style.

Mushin helps to push out the tempo and go for aggressive scoring on Beales, but should also be used on Junebugs or the Overwriter. Shattered Remains is a good Mushin target late game, but try not to do that before the runner has a significant board.

The runner is forced to weigh risk and reward of running on your remotes. Play your Matrix Analyzers in front of your remotes and not centrals so you can throw an extra advancement token on what they're running on to either scare them off of an agenda or reinforce a trap.

Place your Red Herrings on a scoring server early to make them believe that's where you hide your goodies. Don't be afraid to play out your award baits and explodes naked and use the tempo to push out an astro or advance a trap.

Economy should be fairly steady, and most of your cards are very cheap for you, but expensive for the runner to trash. If you can convince the runner that you've mushin'd out a trap, you can use backchannels to swing it into the funds you will need for Midseason and Psychographics. Winning with a Backchannels -> Psycho should always be a threat. CVS is there in case of Clout.

This deck encourages shell-game-esque play. Install->Install->Advance should be a regular turn if you have enough creds to activate your traps (try not to dip below ~4 credits). Marked Accounts and Early Premieres will help you rush out your board and gain you a wonderful 1-to-3 return with back channels if the runner decides to leave a server alone that they believe is a trap.

Not sure about the ice suite in the deck, if you have any suggestions for how you might improve this deck feel free to leave comments. I'm a newer player so my piloting skills are not as advanced as your own, most likely. If you think there's something I should consider, feel free to drop a line.

Enjoy your tense and exciting games!
