Deck went 7-2 with one loss due to not finding any breakers and the other loss due to me forgetting how to use clone chip.

Runs fairly easy: money and breakers. Just wizz all over the corp's assets and deep dig R&D for the end game.

You have Street Peddler, Self-modifying Code and Clone Chip, but no Stimhack? :(

I am always surprised when people keep Nerve Agent in their deck. I put Nerve Agent back in my decks from time to time, but I can never really make it work for me. It seems I'm only getting something useful out of it, if I can reliably break in to the scoring server, if such a one exists, because that means a pile-up of agendas in HQ. If you can't keep constant pressure on the scoring server extra, MU-draining, accesses in HQ doesn't work out in my opinion.

The other way to pressure HQ, besides breaking in directly or pressuring remotes, is to keep the corp so broke that the corp can't afford to rez ICE on the remotes, but you have no Vamp, no Xanadu, no Lamprey, and no Account Siphon. So the direct economic warfare is out. You can only keep the corp poor if you can manage to trash every economic asset, provided the corp plays them.

I've played Whizzard more than I've played anything else, so I'm well aware of how well he works against asset-centric builds. The only thing I don't see working in this build is Nerve Agent. The rest makes perfect sense for The Fat Guy.

Does Net Ready Eyes really shift the power so much that remotes are no longer safe at all?

@Bananifier I'd like to run Stimhack, but what to cut? Also, I'd like to mitigate the number of events Street Peddler eats.

@HofstaedtersPet Honestly, the Nerve Agent was a last minute include. I knew that this deck had a hard time running the hand and getting results. Imp would have worked, but I didn't want to put a strain on Clone Chip. Nerve Agent happened to do work for me in a couple of games, but not many. It was those games where I had wished I had it anyway so I'm okay with the results. Net-Ready Eyes was pretty good. It lightened the load for Datasucker once centrals started to become more secure, and most of the time I got I've Had Worse to go off from installing it.
