Gnat Bug Out Bag Baby

This is the deck I built for Jank-uary tournament that, at the last moment, I couldn't attend. Tournament restriction meant all card cost must either be all odd or all even, with no zero cost, but 'x' costs are ok. Initially I played around with a Hoshiko 'odd cost' deck but it just looked like most other Hoshiko's. So with a min 40 card deck i turned to Gnat. Game plan is to start turn with 2 cards in hand (careful use of Guinea Pig helps) and enough virus counters on installs to feed the Nihilist. Stuffing a bag full of goodies before playing GP is an enjoyable play. Use the Secretary to filter out the programmes and run heavy into RnD with perhaps a Finality to dig deep. Other that Maw there were no viable Consoles so i went without. DZs seem to fill that slot.

Testing was tricky, I'm clearly running a below optimal deck designed to go up against decks with similar constraints.

I think this deck can be worked on for Sunset format (swapping Laundrys for Strike Fund) and i'm not sure i have the right Virus suite yet. but it makes a nice change to play.
