Free Bird

This deck can be either Quetzal/Reina Build. All credit goes to Andrew Swanson who pioneered this build at our weekly league. Its a strong deck in either identity. In quetzal most of your opponent's ice is invalidated and in Reina you pressure their economy so hard that they often can't keep you out. If you build in reina, you should swap the e3's for 2x lucky find and 1x clone chip/2x crescentus.

The main economic engine is sec testing+spinal modem+john masanori+viruses. Its very easy to bank data sucker tokens and credits off of a central. And when you need to access you can usually use some combination of the identy,d4v1d, and mimic to gain accesses.

Parasite should be used mostly on cards with multiple subroutines or on code gates. (In Reina, barriers as well). Typically, unless the ice costs too much, you're going to leave sentries on the board. This usually means that putting new ice down is a 1 credit tax; which is like having a xanadu on the board or being reina.

In the RP match up you'll want to threaten medium and quest completed for the win. Quest Completed is an all star for the deck and will often get you your winning point if you can keep it a secret that you're running the card. If not, you're probably going to have to shoot for a medium lock.

HQ is usually the best place to sec test. It often means you're robbing the corp of a credit with lamprey. And if you follow it up with a run on R&D they won't always see the quest complete coming. Many an OCTGN screams have been heard.

I have more experience playing this as reina; but either ident is good.
