Fisking with the Shards

I've been playing around with this on Jinteki.net and having decent success. The ideal play is to have both Utopia and Eden installed. Start your turn with Fisk investment seminar, make a successful run and trigger Fisk's ability. Then pop the Eden Shard. If they already had 5 cards in hand, they will start their turn with 12 cards! Then as soon as their turn ends and they have discarded down to 5, activate the Utopia Shard to get oodles of goodies in archives. If you have Hades installed too, then great! That's ideal, but usually I end up using them individually and it still works out pretty good. I included Vigil for the free draws but Desperado would still be a great pick, as the Corp often creates a bunch of naked servers when they have too many cards. I have a Networking in there to help with clearing siphon tags; but also because Gutenburg, Data Raven, and other tag ice are very popular. It's also great if you happen to be facing Sync. I've typically only been activating Fisk's ability if I've used a seminar, if I've stolen all the Corp's credits, or if R&D is too well protected and I need fresh cards to access in HQ. I'm still tweaking, but it's fun to play.
