How to play this deck:

Draw everything in your deck using the events that let you draw things from your deck. Gain money using the events that let you gain money. Use Icebreakers to break into servers. If the icebreakers are too expensive to use to break into the servers (hint: they always are), then Sifrsite the problems. Also Sifrsite the non-problems. Sifrsite everything. Levy so that you can Sifrsite more.

Don't Sifrsite Lotus Field though. That doesn't work. Use spooned. SoL on Architect; you'll just have to pay your way through that one like a peasant.

If someone wants to kill you, put on armor.

I got worked over the other day by this deck or one like it. I had a great draw and everything. yup, unfortunately it's still pretty good. Of course the way I measure this is by the fact that it dominated me - so perhaps I just have an ego problem.

Solid deck, would personally slot in a Xanadu, go up to 2x Medium, and a recursion killer too (archives interface is my personal choice so you can RFG all the ICE). Not sure how much need there is for the Levy, I took a variation of this deck out for few spins online and never needed to use it... Could go up to a 2nd Sifr or Rumor Mill. The Xanadu is pretty brutal since your opponent's ICE just gets crushed and they have to keep re-rezzing or get Medium Dug hard.

Yep, I doubt you can go that fast through the deck with inject and IHW to find your 1x sifr copy consistently, because if you don't and with clunky events like day job I feel there is lots of potential for awkward hands and the need to break with Orchestra and MkUltra..

@Cyberzack glad you like/experienced demolition by it!

@Snake Eyes Levy sees very infrequent use, but when it does, it's the difference between winning and losing. I'd be hard pressed to lose it, and if I did cut it, I'd have to restructure to account for it. Your other suggestions seem reasonable. Unsure off hand what I'd cut though. I'd have to reflect on it.

@bakunin75 fun fact; this is a remodel of a deck that contained 0x Sifr, and used cutlery along with the heap suite to break down ICE. So, to reiterate, that is 1) more clunky events, and 2) primarily breaking things with the heap suite. That previous version lost exactly 1 game to a 24/7 boom deck (there was also no plascrete). Yes, you will break things with the heap suite from time to time (it's in the deck for a reason lol). Yes, you might have an awkward Day Job in your hand (or pitched to the heap) because you can't afford the tempo to play it. These are basic problems that every deck will experience, and any decent player can work around.

As an addendum; we're talking 1 game loss in a small pool of games; this deck isn't 399-1 by any means. But it does work well against what seems to be popular meta decks. The notion I'm trying to get across here is that I've never had a a hand with this that I haven't been able to work around and get through the situation at hand (neglecting, again, meat damage death I did not prepare for at deck construction).

Maybe you'd have different results, but I'd caution against knocking it without trying it.

My cuts were Spooned (Just accepting the Black Orchestra break cost for Lotus Field when it shows up), Freedom Through Equality, and Plascrete in exchange for Xanadu, Archives Interface, and the 2nd Medium... And Levy for Sifr # 2. The Plascrete is probably a silly cut that I'll put back in if I see more kill. FtE is probably the easiest cut, unless the corps are all Current Crazed in your local meta!

I can def. see the case for wanting to hang onto Levy in a PPVP deck though, the 2nd pass through is just so rich.

Going down to 2 Day Jobs is something I could see happening too. Whiz is working hard enough as a professional gamer as is. :p

The list looks great. I think the singleton Sifr is the right call.

@Snake Eyes I think -1 Spooned for +1 Medium and -1 FtE for +1 AI/SS would be my first draft changes. Plascrete and Levy, while both only situationally, do too much for me. If I was to axe the Levy, I think I might give preference to 2nd RM over 2nd Sifr (uncertain, but leaning in that direction); the deck is functional without Sifr, and finding RM in female clone detective meta is fairly important.

@Sforza Looks 1000% more great with that Plascrete in there, doesn't it?

By "do too much for me", I mean in the situations where I need them, of course. They're situational, but life savers in the situation.
