21 ICE IG (Made to Spar Fisk)

demoy 402

Way back I made a successful Fisk deck (https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/50482/i-keep-trying-to-fisk-ci), where the goal was just to play clean simple Netrunner. Although the deck was named "I keep trying to Fisk CI" (Cerebral Image was a thing back then) the most fun games I had with it was when I was up against Industrial Genomics (and those games have also been only times I enjoyed playing against IG). I intending to at the time one day to make an IG companion deck to spar.

After trying traditional GI for a couple days I realized I hated playing it, I got more creatives using Punitive Counterstrike, Virtual Tour and Warroid Tracker for some nasty kills but the auto lose to Freedom Khumalo hurts. So I went sutler trying to play simple Netrunner using IG (ICE, Money, Agenda) with the ID helping to make our win conditions (Jeeves) stay in place.

We don't asset spam and we can and usually do ice everything, even Jeeves (eventually). The goal is to never advance to victory.

2 Viral Weaponization to get rid of all those run events the run holds in hand because of all our ICE and to make Obokata Protocal better, 1 Sales Team since the third Weaponization is usually over kill. The rest of the agendas are 3/2 so we don't have to really on Jeeves too much.

The ICE suite meant to be cheap to rez, Anansi goes on the scoring remote everything goes wheres it's needed. 3 Macrophages to mainly punish viruses. I don't like tech card so I added Sandstone to make Macrophage better in general.

So far I have been greatly satisfied playing this deck, and apart from one opponent who forfeited turn 2 assuming asset spam after Rashida Jaheem fired, all my opponent so far have enjoyed the games. It is tempting to ask if an untrashable Jeeves is worth playing such a strange deck where most of the time your ID doesn't matter. But every game I played I have never once wished I could swap out my ID for another. So it feels good even if your ID only matters at crunch time (Kinda like Biotech) .

You can spar this deck against the Oracle May Fisk deck I made (https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/56704/oracle-may-fisk-made-to-spar-industrial-genomics-) or just play it in standard!

footnote: If you count Breach Dome as basically ICE for archives we actually have 24 pieces of ICE!
