We're kinda serious this time.

Q: How many clicks does it take to steal an agenda from Argus and escape unscathed?

A: Somewhere between 2 and 5. How many will it be this time?

Testing Zealous Judge as method of making tags stickier. The runner expects to clear a tag after stealing an agenda, but if one or more zealous judges can be rezzed in that window, there may not be enough clicks left to both clear the tag and trash all the judges. Subcontract makes the follow-up turn of Zealous-Zealous-Subcontract-Traffic-Scorched possible. Or, you know, Zealous-Subcontract-Scorched-Scorched-Scorched if you prefer your steak well done. More subcontracts could be chained for additional absurdity, but you get the idea.

Snare! is another Zealous window. As if hitting a Snare! wasn't bad enough already.

Ice are a mix of gearcheck to threaten scoring out (or protect a judge), and tagging to give additional Zealous windows. Excalibur can be paired with other ICE to assist with either plan. Assassin is because, well, I like Assassin. It could be swapped, maybe for another Housekeeping since it would be a problem if my employees went on strike for any length of time. Or more money, perhaps. Dedicated Response Team also could possibly find a place? Still testing. SEA Source doesn't fit the plan quite so much, since we're not under the delusion that we will ever be holding a credit lead in this game.

As a side note, I prefer my ICE to be as many 1x as possible, to make it hard for the runner to guess what I've played even if they know my decklist.
