I certainly did not forget that the corp can choose to purge, but I think you are underestimating the power of credit denial. Prior to executing the combo the virus counters are not essential. The nerve agent is just there to apply pressure. And if the corp spends a few turns purging virus counters, that means I have that much more time to set up my combo. Once I execute my combo, that leaves the corp with 0 money and essentially a completely unprotected R&D. Even if they purge virus tokens, I'm just going to run R&D 4 time again since they still have 0 money. The best possible response from the corp would be to play burst economy from their hand and try to get some money so they can rez ice on R&D. But with the demolition run on the turn before I can control what cards the corp is going to be drawing. |
Well, if the corp sees you have many virus counters he can always use 3 clicks to purge them all, and this would probably kill your strategy. I know many players forget his option, but you shouldn't rely that much on your virus...
