Counter-Rielle Weyland v1.1

trustworthym 1382

-1 Swarm (was basically always a dead draw for me), -1 Flare (propping up that trace was too costly too often), +1 Curtain Wall, +1 Ichi 2.0.

Curtain and Hadrian have similar functionality - put them on the outside of a server so they're at least very taxing to break and then put an Archer or an Ichi inside. This tactic is of course susceptible to Femmes, but with that much taxing ice it's very difficult for them to figure out what exactly to put the counter on. Combined with Oversight AI on the Archer to tempt them to Femme it instead of the Hadrian and they're likely to have to mill the card a few times to get set up correctly, buying you scoring windows.

This tactic is also very resistant to Knight nonsense, as they're quickly too strong to break until they've chucked a few virus tokens down - and you can upgrade the Hadrians / virus clear as necessary if you want to play that war of attrition.

I find that it's usually best to ice up R&D and draw extremely slowly, getting a solid remote set up so you can throw agendas into it as necessary.

IDK, I'm still working on this, but yeah. Any feedback welcome. One thing I've been finding is that it's rare to surprise the runner with ice in this deck - they usually know exactly what they're getting into. I'm also getting very limited play from the troubleshooters because of all the money I spend on getting the ice up, so I'm thinking of changing them out for something a little more suited for this. Same goes for wraparound. I'll edit this as appropriate!
