Icebreaker v2

Wrecko 494

This is an economic stress deck that tries to stretch the runner to rez cards and then parasite them away or sacrifice them to get rid of the caissa.

Tweaked to included e3 Feedback Implants which will preserve my Overmind and make the Knight cheaper.

i would opt to run Quality Times in here to increase consistency

Is Xanadu really important enough to warrant a 3x? Is the economy strong enough if you cant find an early siphon? UWC takes time to set up, and i feel like you're gonna be a lot poorer than the corp...

Thanks @d4spien, I'll think about adding those. I replaced the Scavenge with another e3 Feedback Implants, but I might pull that out for a couple of Quality Time.

@GammaCodeX, I have Kati Jones, and Underworld Contact along with the Account Siphon, I have found that an early Rook and/or Xanadu will slow down the corp enough to get my economy running. I haven't tested it much, though. How would you recommend improving the economy?

Well Sure Gamble and Dirty Laundry are popular for a reason, as they can be a great burst of money if found in the top 5-7 cards, and if you can find influence Hostage can improve the odds of getting Kati Jones early, and is not a dead draw as long as there are Underworld Contacts to be found. Armitage Codebusting is popular in anarch as its one of the best cards to go from poor to not poor, but as you are keeping your tag hygiene Liberated Account could be a more efficient alternative. I must admit i missed that you ran kati, shes pretty solid if you can survive to get her loaded well before you empty her, but that takes time, and so can finding her. But it wasn't meant as critique just as a question. I like the deck over all, but going from a deck with over half the cards for economy its one of the things i can stare myself blind at :P (A shaper deck, so i don't think you can use a lot of the set i use)
