Keep Em' Poor

So 419 is great and I love him. Might be one of the best Runner's out there. I took 419 and added in some of my very favourite cards. You're a Criminal, so you should get out there and steal some stuff. That's the main concept of the deck anyway. Couldn't slim this down to 45 cards, but that's alright. It has done really well for me already, and is the first deck I've felt confident to publish. Feedback is welcome of course.

Trusty ol' Turtle is 419's best friend and will get you to all the magical places where you need to go. Mulligan for him if you have to. If you get Zamba with him, even better. Drive By and Falsified Credentials will tell you if it's worth running a server, or trash that junk if it's not. Dean Lister is the friend that will get you in when all seems lost. Your other breakers will help where all of the above fails.

Corporate Grant, Diversion of Funds, Hernando Cortez and Xanadu will all drain their money at various speeds.

Emergency Shutdown and Maxwell James will make things expensive and probably help you get in to that pesky ICE'd up remote.

The solitary Film Critic seems to be enough and definitely saves the day. Along with The Source it's just fantastic. The latter has won me games when the Corp is at match point. Best served last click before your turn ends.

No One Home is great against kill decks / Hard-Hitting News.

Hijacked Router against those pesky asset spam decks.

Zamba is a great console and I don't see it enough in 419 decks. Having it on the table means the Corp will usually choose to pay the extra credit, which is a win for you. Should they choose not to, it's still a win for you.

I chose Indexing over Maker's Eye as I had one influence left, and it can be really beneficial against spiky decks, and combo's great with The Turning Wheel for some safe multi-access.

Now get out there, Divert some Fun and Keep Em' Poor!

What about -1 grant -1 hijacked server, +1 dummy box +1 dj, to get Renia? The box to keep the source and other things around, and renia for the tax on the ice.

I like the DJ idea, however shouldn't need Dummy Box as long as Film Critic is on the table as well.

I guess unless they score an agenda.

Might add Dr. Lovegood instead. He works really well with The Source.

I suggest you remove Hernando Cortez. When you are trying to strangle the corp's credit pool, they're probably not going to go above 10 credits too often.

Also, as a former CEO of Cerebral Imaging: Infinite Frontiers, I was saddened by the game I had against econ denial.

I find Hernando to be quite crucial. Often the Corp will get around the drip econ denial in this deck and stay about 10 credits. Hernando just makes them think twice about rezzing at that point, and if they do, usually gives them a heavy econ hit. He's done really well for me so far. Along with Xanadu, even better.
