Headlock Null

The name really says it all ... The concept is to pressure all three central square while neutralizing ICE. Early testing suggests the deck can put on solid pressure, but ?I feel I run out of steam. Not sure what is missing.

draw should probably be inject, cbi raid and eshutdown going to temujin to rely more on eater/cutler would probably be better. IHW for draw as well.

As much as I like trying cards outside the box....honest changes: -2 cbi -1 eshutdown + 3 temujin

-1 e shutdown + 1 parasite +1 rebirth -1 DJ

-1 retrun +1 bhagat/slums/scrubber maybe? Maybe the retrun is fine.

@x3r0h0ur I have no idea why I keep forgetting IHW in every deck. Inject is an interesting idea, but I'm never sure I want to trash programs. Conspiracy breakers probably help in this regard. Maybe swap a mimic for MKUltra?

Who should I rebirth in to if I went that route?

In my opinion, one of the problems of Headlock is when the Corps get out of your pressure. If they can do enough money your strategy fails. In that moment your bullets are Vamp and/or Hernando Cortez, I think u need them to play Headlock.

Emergency Shutdown is a good way to keep ice unrezzed and the Corp poor, but u need a succesful run to use it, you have Crescentus or Muertos Gang Member to derez without running succesfully. Your are playing a mixed strategy of derez and destroy, the star here is En Passant, not cutlery. And Spooned? Don't forget DNA Tracker or Mausolus

I haven't tried CBI Raid, but u have Wanton Destruction in faction.

Do u really need 2 Retrieval Run?? Without Inject or Street Peddler?? Just try Déjà Vu instead. No Datasucker or Ice Carver? What's your answer to Archer?

I love Headlock, but i think you need Hernando Cortez. Anarch breakers are good but big ices are problematic, just try Aghora instead Eater is 3 creds for a Lotus Field...
