Ads Infinitum (Psychographics + Beale)

The deck spends most of its time vomiting out economy asset after economy asset. If a runner leaves your remotes unchecked for a turn or two, your economy can easily snowball out of control - after which, the runner will ignore it and you're free to amass credits to your heart's content.

Having a lot of money enables the Midseason Replacements, Psychographics and Project Beale combo that this deck uses to win. >10-point Beales are very common, whereas my record is 25 points.

Now, as much as I'd like to make an iceless deck for its own sake, Medium and Keyhole exist. Architect is for Parasite, whilst Archangel is for tax and traps. Lotus Field and Tollbooth work too.

Whizzard is easily the weakest matchup, especially if they're running Medium, but it's not as insurmountable as it would first appear. Manhunt takes the edge off, as does mass installing. Sweeps Week and Hedge Fund are there to give you the burst economy needed to keep the pressure up with assets. Remember that Whizzard only gets a benefit from trashing about 1 asset per turn, and pray that they spend those 3 on stuff in R&D.

Overall, I've found this deck to be a lot of fun to play and has won most of its games. Whilst the game plan is straightforward, there's something satisfying about accumulating absurd quantities of credits and winning in a single turn.
