Two Merls, One Pup (2nd @ Waco Store Championships)

Deck name is easy to remember but technically incorrect. I dunno man, everything is Shop nowadays.

Here's a deck concept I'm pretty excited about. Marcus Batty + Grail Ice + Chronos Protocol + Blacklist = trash all of their programs, snipe them from grip, then rez Blacklist if needed and enjoy an impossible-to-break scoring remote. If they don't want to run, go ahead and score out your HoKs/GFIs.

For some weird reason, rezzing a Caprice actually kept me from winning one match. Runner had one card in hand after a particularly nasty Merlin and I had two scored HoKs ready to fire (I wanted to see if they had an answer to the Merlin).

Anyway, there are a few improvements to be made. Add a GFI to reduce agenda density (replacing a Clone Retirement/Fetal), swap the Medical Breakthroughs for Fetal, etc. It's a side effect of last-minute deck decisions.

Still, try it out! The ability to add subroutines to Grail and then fire off Batty is great at turning half your ice into program trashes.
