Nobody plays Swordsman

First draft. Plan is to Eat or Immolate ALL the ice, especially on R&D, then medium-keyhole-medium. Quest Completed if they get cheeky and try to score in a Remote.

You are right that not many people play Swordsman.....

How are you dealing with Turing, which you can't break, and Architect, which you can't kill? Turing, in particular, is a problem for you.

Architect on Archives is really only a problem for Medium (and even so I can build medium counters with Keyhole runs although that lets the corp install an agenda). Turing on a remote is fine, QC can nab an agenda the corp thinks is safe. Turing on a central, however...

I could make room for Parasite, but that requires 3 parasites minimum, and probably more cards. Suggestions?

Actually, Architect on R&D with a Crisium Grid behind it is a problem for you. And yes this is definitely a possible set up.

As to Turing, -1 Immolation, -1 Knifed, -1 Forked, +3 Parasite? Replacing ice destruction with ice destruction seems ok.

But then I can't call it "Nobody Plays Swordsman" - I can just parasite it :<

Apart from that, excellent suggestion. The question is then to Grimoire or not to Grimoire.

Ok, if you really want to keep the name don't run the Parasite and just use Yog.0 instead :) seems like a bad idea though.

And tbh if you are running as much as you seem to intend I would actually prefer -2 Security Testing +2 Desperado.
