Industrial Shutdown [Full deck guide]

With that out of the way, lets move onto the deck.

Idea is you get a Museum of History or Jackson Howard, as well as a scoring window, and the runner has just run last turn. (This is usually because the runner just trashed a bunch of Mental Health Clinics and went broke to do so. In this case though, you want to make an indestructible Archives server. 2 EtR and a Caprice Nisei is usually enough.

In this case, you are going to instead Power Shutdown your whole deck, and use Museum of History to take any card you want. If you did this with Jackson Howard instead, then just shuffle in some museums.

Usually, first thing you want to do is to stabilize economically. Early game you are often digging through your deck for combo pieces instead of getting money. Using Product Recall on a Mental Health Clinic will often net you upwards of 30, which you might need to rez your Ashigaru over archives. Obviously, you need to have this in HQ before Power Shutdown if you can't afford to rez the Archives ICE.

If Archives needs more protection, you can use Executive Boot Camp to rez a 40 strength Dracō over Archives, then Sub Boost it. Obviously, you don't want to do this if you suspect #D4v1d.

Then, you will try to score out. Often, Old Hollywood Grid is enough protection. Set it up on one turn, then just IAA an agenda there. If you are facing #Imp, you will need the Excalibur as well. Against #Film Critic, you need Caprice Nisei as well, and just take a 2/3 chance. And that falls to an AI breaker. Keep in mind that a combination od Dracō, Lotus Field, and Ashigaru can keep the server safe, simply by virtue of the runner not being able to get in.

This deck has a lot of different agendas to score. The one you choose will obviously depend on the situation. Nisei MK II is a solid first pick for most situations. It can often stop a surprise card from taking you agenda. If they have been hit with Excalibur, then you get to keep the agenda :D If for some reason you are in danger of losing your museums, (but somehow was still able to score out), then Hades Fragment is good too. Against Noise, you can IAA the Hades Fragment really early, and score it out if your opponent is afraid of Cerebral Overwriter. Of course, this is a risky play.

Weaknesses: Fisk Investment Seminar and the less used #Eden Shard. Also #Hades Shard and #Laramy Fisk. Not much that can be done about these cards. This deck is jank tier for this reason.

A patient shaper player. If your opponent is a Shaper who keeps enough money at all time to be able to get into Archives, just in case you Power Shutdown you whole deck, to be fair, they deserve the win. Still possible to win psi games on Archives, or miraculously draw the singleton Old Hollywood Grid, Nisei MK II, and Excalibur.

Early multiaccess/#Indexing. not much you can do if they get 8 points in 4 turns. Ice centrals I guess? Komainu and Cortex Lock deter early face-checking.

Archives Interface hitting Old Hollywood Grid. It's not like they are going to choose that specific card, or that you are even going draw it early. They obviously shouldn't be getting into Archives late game.

D4v1d. Well, not really unless you are really intent on Sub Boosting Dracō(that is just for bragging rights). You should just be scoring out anyways.

Noise. He can't mill you to death if you have a Museum of History or Hades Fragment. CVS is gold here because you can purge #Imps with 1 click, leaving you 2 more to draw and play another Museum of History. Also, if he runs into one of them, he can't even trash it, giving you another free purge.

The upcoming Councilman. Plop can't do much damage, but you might have to pre-rez a Old Hollywood Grid if you suspect Councilman.

Changes

I'd love to find 1 more influence to replace the Priority Requisition with another Global Food Initiative. Right now, Global Food Initiative's text is blank unless the runner steals some very specific agendas.

You could mess around with the ICE suite, because I'm sure it's far from perfect. Also, feel free to switch the amount of Hedge Fund and PAD Campaign, idk what is right. I would not recommend Celebrity Gift though, because it might help to keep your plans secret.

If there is anything else I have missed, make sure to let me know in the comments!

TL;DR: Power Shutdown your deck, protect Archives, don't get milled using Museum of History, and score out through Old Hollywood Grid. Weep against FIS, this is jank for a reason.
