One of the cards you want to see in your opening hand is Housekeeping this makes the runner start having to make choices that may ultimately lead to them being flatlined. One particular thing i enjoyed doing was using Mushin No Shin to advance Ronin three times and leave it there. Eventually the runner will most likely lose interest and leave it be. You can use it later. While that is in a server keep making more servers. Play cards like Psychic Field where they could lose their hand and get hit with Neural EMP. This deck makes people think again about stealing agendas like the Fetal AI that ultimately leads to three net damage, on what may be one of their final clicks. Hopefully they get that after going through a Lockdown, where they cannot draw anymore cards. Also, just in case there is a keyhole deck, Hostile Infrastructure and Swordsman are awesome.
Also you hope for Snare! and Fetal AI to show when you are playing something with multi access, because those increases the chances that the runner will be flatlined. Every game at STL regionals that this deck won, was a flatline. I have in other settings actually scored out, those were weird games.
I did check the results and i believe this was one of the only undefeated corps in the swiss rounds. Later it saw the first defeat in double elimination, where there was Deus X recursion. The record ended up being 6-1, i barely made the top eight cut, and made it 6th overall in my first regionals with PE. This to me was a great accomplishment. But one of my favorite mottos from that night was, "Church of Ronin, we respect" Ronin was quite critical to the swiss rounds. I think the greatest advantage for this deck was no one was expecting PE to be at a regionals and most people didn't build for that match up.

The house keeping is the best when they have the false sense of security because they didn't run and they install a bunch of cards. By this time you want a 4 advanced Ronin and get a flatline.

Thanks for sharing and congratz to your success! I hope you don’t mind if I ask. Setting Traps is generally very expensive activity and you included even Hostile Infrastructure. Your economy seems to be very dependant at scoring Gila Hands Arcology. Is this a reason why you included third copy of it and went to 21 agenda points? How did this work for you? Would you change anything after tournament? Thank you |

Nice Deck! Love the inclusion of Hostile Infrastructure. I will have to try this...Very similar to my PE Deck...but instead of a third Gila Hands Arcology i used Melange Mining Corp.. |

Yeah, me personally, I think I'd cut -1 cerebral and -1 Eli. just for a 3rd Housekeeping. I've tested this card even with RP and sadly/thankfully (depending on PoV) makes sense only in your opening hand or first few turns. I'm not gonna comment on your econ, because I know how much and what type of econ PE decks need, but I do feel that rezing those Hostile Infrastructures could prove a bit pain the a**. Especially if you want to keep money for Snares and Neurals ( and you always want that in PE decks). Did you see a lot of Drive By in play? I know that the Psychic Fields are there for that reason, but it doesn't feel good to see your multiple-advanced pieces get flushed out. |

They wanna Nerve Agent or Legwork your hand? Swap your Agendas for Snares or Neurals, w/e you need and go. Just keep a Jackson down somewhere on the table if it's no their last click. :) Hostile Infrastructure is great against Keyhole and Keyhole is one of PE's nightmare. I'm really not sure how is the proper way to sustain it though. In my last PE build, I was playing Shell Corporation over some Mushined Trap ( or not hehe ) and managed to gain nice econ to support a possible Hostile rezz. You can think about some change like -1 Ronnin, -1 Cerebral +2 Shell Corp. I guess you would want to keep the 2x Hostile for consistency and even further Keyhole punishment. Just an idea. :) |
Housekeeping is what really sets this apart from other Cambridge style decks. I adds just that extra little bit of drain on your hand to make your decisions hard. Definitely a tough deck to play against, congrats on your performance.
