Infection (1 Core + Deluxe)

First deck!

The idea behind this deck, is to break your opponents defences without exposing yourself to unnecessary danger, building up your virus counters to erode the corporations ice.

You want to mill your deck as much as possible to get the key cards immediate. There is a low focus on economy, as you aim to avoid expensive runs and expensive cards as much as possibly, by trashing your opponents ice and removing the need for a heavy economy. With 3 x I've had worse, 3 x Diesel, 2 x Deja Vu & Same Old and a single Levy AR Lab Access, you can afford to discard the majority of your cards until you have exactly what you want, and then reboot the entire thing with Levy.

Key combos: You want to host your Hiveminds on Progenitor, to protect them from purges. Once you have all 3 up and running, your Mediums and Parasites will always have 3 counters on it regardless of purges, allowing for cheap and easy Biter Cutlery runs on the corporations ice.

Use Biter to force the corp to rez their ice, then use or the cutlery events (Spoon/Knife/Fork) to remove the ice protecting the server.

Use Djinn to get your virus' cards in play as fast as possible, and move counters to Hivemind with Virus Breeding Ground.

Technical Writer is your bank, Magnum Opus for when you need those extra credit and Daily Cast as a decent passive income.

You can use Same Old Thing and Deja Vu to return spent virus programs and events, and Levy Access to reshuffle your heap and grip into your stack, as you will be discarding most of it initially to get the combo cards as fast as possible.

This will allow you to break up to 8 type-specific Ice, and at minimum 6 type-specific ices if your game drags on, and to re-use Daily Cast once they've been bled dry.
