Ian Sterling: Man of Passive-Agressive Kinda-Sorta Action V.

Lumin456 4

EDIT: Deck profile is below. Made some small changes, took out useless cards, (Mr. Li didn't work) most prominently took out grappling hook and replaced it with crypsis. I also toned down on the bug/feint combo and took out a logos. This turned the deck from horrible to mildly potent. Virus up crypsis on your off turns, and then use it to run on remotes after the corp has spent their money keeping you out of HQ and RnD. The corp can't purge it, your automated economy will let you just repeat virusing him up while gaining money, so he's covered there. Have fun!

This is my Sterling interpreation. I hope you enjoy it. Basically, use globlasec to activate underworld contacts, and build up your rig of three icebreakers for cheap. Get Katie ahead in agendas while you're setting up your rig, relax. You'll just get more credits to make up for it. By the end of the game, you can get Jones out, and you can make a lot of money with underworld contacts. HQ and R and D interface are for when you start running agressivley on central servers. You need to make the most out of your runs there. However, you have time to kill. By the end game, you can usually run sucsesfully through ice-infested waters every other turn. During your "off" turns, beef up crypsis, get more money, draw cards in hope of more interfaces, you get it. If you get a decent division of both interface types, just run on RnD, trashing constantly like it's going out of style, and use Bug to make a fatal HQ run when an agenda is drawn. This is only in the late game, your economy won't be able to handle the strain in the early game, so don't use it then. Emergency shutdown pressures the corp even MORE while you sit on a comfy pile of credits. They won't be able to protect HQ and Rnd perfectly withought a lot of economic strain, so abuse that to take crypsis out for a ride when the time is right. Networking is for if you run into a tag-happy corp, as you can search it with logos. It's quite a fun deck in my opinion, and I would reccomend it if you want to sit calmly back at the table and feel like the game is under your control.
