The giant battleaxe (version 2.0)

This deck is very strong. when I played this on Jinteki.net, I defeated every single startup Corp identity.

Every Corp startup identity also defeated me.

I updated this from previous versions, getting rid of Retrieval Run, and increasing T400 Memory Diamond, Buzzsaw, Cleaver, and Mimic to 3 copies each instead of 2.

true, this deck has only 10/15 influence, but I will fix that in a future update. the deck is currently fine for now.

I do not want to include startup expansions to this other than system update 2021, because I want to make sure more people can use this deck. for those who want a deck using the cards from midnight sun & parhelion, I will make a seperate deck later.

Now this deck isn't called The Giant Battleaxe for nothing. I often encounter a thick wall of ice in front of a server, and this deck busts right through it most of the time.

To properly use a battleaxe like this one, you need to find out what everything in this deck is for, and what combos this deck holds.

Events

Career Fair: This card is soooo helpful. it makes almost every resource in your deck FREE!! this will always be very helpful, as we will see later. but why 2 copies? if its great why is there only 3? every card adds to the deck size. you don't want Career Fair and no resources, right? ;-)

Diesel: cards are cards.

Dirty Laundry: you know what this is for, don't you?

Jailbreak: it gives you a card, and it increases the chance of getting an agenda. also, it's good to know what the Corp has in his hand.

Sure Gamble: I don't even need to explain.

Wildcat Strike: either you'll get cards, or you'll get money. try to predict which one the Corp will choose based on the situation.

Hardware

T400 Memory Diamond: you are likely to need a bigger hand size. also, with lots of programs installed, every bit of memory helps a lot.

Resource This is where Career Fair makes all of these but That guy over there. Be sure to remember that)

Cookbook: You'll have 9 cards in your deck that need more virus counters.

Ice Carver: this will save you credits on boosting strength, which is very helpful, especially because of Mr. never 3+ strength.

Liberated Account: read the card. you'll know why.

Xanadu: The Corp is rich, lets make that harder.

Icebreaker

Buzzsaw: a great code gate breaker.

Cleaver: It's a cleaver!

Mayfly: can't get the right icebreaker? no problem!

Mimic it's good, until you see you can't boost it's strength. that can be annoying, but Leech & Ice Carver save the day.

Program

Botulus: as long as Magnet doesn't show up, this card is just amazing. combo this with Cookbook and the ice is as good as derezzed.

Egret: Egret will save the runner who only has one type of icebreaker.

Fermenter: doubles your credits? wow! (corp goes )

Imp: finally, trash End of the Line!

Leech: suck out that ice's strength to make it easier to get past it.

Good luck! - KV-Boom
