Crisium Grid and Off the Grid combo makes running a remote an expensive proposition – once set up, the runner will need to get into HQ twice before they can run your remote, plus spend 5 to trash Crisium Grid.

Lots of money and ETRs, with a couple program trashing ICE. Power Shutdowns to get pesky programs off the table. Punitive Counterstrike for when you get an agenda or two snagged from you early (which can happen).

Crisium Grid is pretty powerful. Here are a list of things it's saved me from so far: • Account Syphon (installed on HQ) • Sneakdoor Beta (installed on Archives) • Hades Shard (installed on Archives) • Nerve Agent (installed on HQ) • Medium (installed on R&D)

Not sure about the ICE break down...will need to play around with that a bit.

Wait crisium grid stops sneak door?

Yep.

Yes, when installed on Archives it stops it entirely. If installed on HQ, the access of HQ still occurs but I think any cards that trigger off of a successful HQ run (Nerve Agent, for example) do not trigger.

Another note on this deck - Crisium/Off the Grid combo is really expensive to set up. I'm "toying" around with Eliza's Toybox as a way to mitigate this (and Rez some of the more expensive ICE!)

@jeremyorion Have you tested it yet? I built my own version of Crisium/Off the Grid deck, but now I'm in a Quandary! xD

@iMarco ha! Nice. Yeah, I've tested it a bit and found that it's sometimes hard to keep enough money around to rez ICE, upgrades AND score out 5 cost agendas. I suspect that I may be playing it wrong, as I'm not used to running many 5-3s. That said, it wasn't too hard to fit in 2 Eliza's Toybox... I think I went -1 Tollbooth and -1 Heimdall 1.0 which leaves you with 18 ICE still. Like I said in the initial post, playing around with the ICE options is probably the key to making this work right.

@jeremyorionthanks for your heads up!
