So I was itching to make a 'Chess Deck'.

The aim for the deck is to make it costly to ress ICE and when ressed lower it so I can break through with cheap ICEBreakers.

Make it Expensive: Reina, Rook and Xanadu

Make it Weak: Datasucker, Bishop and Ice Carver

This is a deck under progress and might be updated a few times over the day(s).

Well, not much changed since your previous version. Most of my remarks still apply. You fixed your econ though, which is good. This revision also introduces a new problem - fixed strength breakers with support of only ice carver and parasites will not do, I'm afraid.

Debating in econ is 3x Codebusting or 3x Liberated Account or a mix (2/1). I bit afraid that the Liberated Account is too expensive to get out sometimes.

Whatever suits the deck, as long as you have those minimum 9 econ cards. Armitage is not great (nets you pathetic 11 creds for 8 clicks) but it works when you are broke, which is important for anarchs. It also enables Liberated Accounts - clear Armitage few times and you are ready to do a "liberated turn". Both armitage and liberated are playable in tagme style, so splashing 2 siphons is a fine choice me thinks.

What is your take/idea on recurring cards? Remove Deja Vu or Clone Chip? Replace with?

I would remove clone chip to save influence. Deja vu is in faction and this deck doesn't aim at instant install tricks anyway.

I made changes in v0.3 before I saw this. Please check the 0.3 and comment on that one.
