On a quest to make a viable Surveillance Sweep deck!

Improved Tracers to make all your strong Tracer ICE more expensive to break, forcing the Runner to play the Trace game. Throw in some cheap gear-check, ETR ICE to allow you much needed early pressure.

Keep the ETR ICE relevant with aggressive Ichi 1.0 or Data Raven/Keegan Lane servers to trash their icebreakers.

Information Overload is great with Surveillance Sweep to scare the Runner into pre-paying against a trace for a tag on each Encounter.

News Team, Ghost Branch, SEA Source, Data Raven counters, Information Overload, Ichi 1.0 and News Hound all possible tagging methods. Even includes a clutch Restructured Datapool, which as the potential to drain the runner of credits during a Trace Storm. All to set up the Coup de Gras.

AstroTrain and 15 Minutes even gives a viable early, never advance pathway to victory.

Really like this deck, looks like fun to play.

My thoughts: I would probably put Assassin instead of Ichi, freeing up influence for 2 more GFI instead of 3pointers. I would also remove some 1-pointers in favor of 2-pointers for card space (slotting sweeps week). Remember that every time they steal a 1-pointer, you have to spend 2 to keep your surveillance sweep on the table. It would be a sad day when you couldn't trigger your ability since you were too poor.

@mmc31 Its super fun to play! When you have scored out a few Improved Tracers, you get to watch the Runner stop to think if it is worth blowing credits to break your pumped Tracer ICE, or try risk a Trace War, where they have to bet first and the Corp might possibly just let all the Runners credits evaporate. When I originally had all the possible cards in the deck, Assassin and Sweeps Week were both in there, but I had to trim down to 40 cards. The reason I chose Ichi 1.0 over Assassin was due to the higher cost of Assassin and the lack of Tag effect. This deck is already quite credit hungry. However, the option of decreasing Agenda density AND slotting the additional Econ is probably a great trade-off. Thanks for the useful feedback!
