Madani Virus Sabotage

Vermilious 120

I had an old favorite deck which ran Noise and every cheap virus, and while I miss it every day, it's not gone forever.

The basic theory of this deck is simple; find your Avgustina, install a virus every turn, trash 15 cards, and Ashen to do it a second time. The corp helps you out by drawing cards and installing cards, so you go from needing to handle 49 cards on your lonesome to only needing to handle 30 or so. Still, 30 turns is far too many. That's where Madani comes in. Suddenly, you have access to installs on the corp turn, often for free with DZMZ, and 30 turns is more like 15. The Nihilist will get you further, too, because nobody ever lets you draw. Heliamphora will punish purges if the Corp is up for it, too. The secret key to the deck is that you shouldn't be too attached to Leech or Heliamphora, because, well, those are really just fuel for Spec Work.

Build your credit pool, draw cards, loop (or Loup) through the deck, and be patient. 20 cards in archives will look tempting, but you're only going to get in once or twice. Wouldn't 25 be better? Or 30? See how far you you can push the Corp. Make them sweat.

This deck looks dope. I'll give it a spin. Looking forward to seeing Noise do his thing, even when he is a mere resource.

this list is sweet, really digging it!

how often do you get value from the ID ability? seems like you want to minimize the amount of running you do, unless it's just for the consistency of 40 cards?
