Criminal Mill

trafalco 226

The idea here is to eventually get out the following combo: John Masanori, Data Leak Reversal, Crash Space. After that combo is out, you can simply bounce off of a harmless server, click twice to trash two cards from R&D, then remove the tag obtained from John Masanori with Crash Space. Notice no credits were spent. Every turn you can mill two cards from R&D or three if you played an Early Bird.

Either mill the corp to death or more likely make a run on archives when there is a nice stack of milled cards in it.

The almost fool-proof way to make a run on archives: Blackmail

If corp doesn't have bad publicity yet play an Activist Support with New Angeles City Hall or a couple Fall Guys to prevent the Activist Support from getting trashed.

A couple of nice side affects:

1) For your milling turns you are not making any successful runs (no worry about those operations that state: if the runner made a successful run last turn...).

2) Crash Space also protects against meat damage

I have actually been milled to death by this deck. You sit there thinking, "My Archives are fine, there's no getting in there" and then before you know it you remember that there's another Runner win condition..

I built an earlier pre-Logos version of this and had fun with it. Problem is Jackson Howard which everybody uses. With it, the agenda draw to hand always outraces the mill. Source helps a little, but not enough. I found Mr. Li to be worth it to help setup and then Hostages to get him first, then Masonori 2nd.

@vreely: Yeah Jackson Howard is definitly a pain. Hopefully he gets milled, but in my experience corps have three of them in the deck. I typically don't run the remotes until he sees that I am trying to mill him. Corp then gets comfortable putting an agenda in a remote server with some unrezzed ice in front of it. At that point, I'll Infiltration to make sure, then Blackmail or Overmind my way in.
