I know, I know...why am I so worried about tags? I've got IHW, a few link and Sports Hoppers. Well, on top of the fact that BOOM now exists, the corp can also sneak 3 pointers back for the price of a Breaking News or 15 Minutes. They can also O&D now, kill your Wyldside the old fashioned way, or be a REAL asshole and see your hand (Harischandra).

I figure, with the amount of draw I have, I should run into Networking or Paper Tripping sometime, and that will, along with generous money gain, knock the wind out of those pesky HHN threats. That's the theory anyway. I was able to slaughter a Blue Sun on Tuesday with this deck, as Kim's ID triggered 5 or 6 times to cut out monetary gain or avoid a nasty Punitive kill. Getting rid of Consulting Visit was also nice...1 less guaranteed Oversight to deal with. My opponent was flooded (5 agendas in the deck, go figure) and I didn't even realize it. I grabbed a Vanity off the top, and then sniped out a High Risk from hand as I was hunting for operations to toss.

Suckers are an MVP here. Shocker, I know...but Mimic and Atman sort of demand their presence. While operations are a fairly big part of today's Corp decks, there's no telling when you might see some horizontal shinanegans...hence, the Scrubbers. Again, like my Corp deck, it's going to be sad to say goodbye to the first 2 cycles soon, so the asset trashing ability here will take a bit of a hit. Econ will also get hammered, so it's gonna be back to the drawing board in a matter of months.

Still though, if anyone (I'm looking at you, x3r0!) has helpful feedback on how this deck can be improved, I'm certainly open to it! I know I need to add D4v1ds...

You could get rid of the HQ Interface and the Spinal Modems and take a few Gauntlets. I've found that console to be worth it every time so far, and it has natural synergy with Kim and a breaker suite running Datasuckers.

Paper Tripping is a huge pain to use, I've tried and it has never worked out for me. Next week Misdirection is out and I think it's the superior choice.

Gauntlet, eh? I like it. :) Then I won't have to slot in Turning Wheel, which could get trashed easily against certain opponents. Paper Tripping is definitely a royal pain. I had it in a Sil deck one time, went tag me against a Sol running Psycho Beale, and right AFTER he got his 7 pt. Beale (I was on 6 pts. at the time) to win, I drew a card for the heck of it. Guess what that card was...

Really good suggestions, though, FarCry...much appreciated! :)
