Viral Blackmail

dupl3x 50

So this deck is ridiculous. It has no breakers. The whole idea is to set up for these killer turns where you use Blackmail to do big Medium digs.

You set up with a Medium or a Nerve Agent (or both) preferably after you have Grim out. Make sure the corp has a Bad Pub via Activist Support too. Then, you set up for a big 5 click turn. Ideally something like:

1) Blackmail, access 2 cards

2) Surge (bringing it up to 4 counters)

4) Blackmail again for 5 cards

4/5) SOT or Deja Vu for another Blackmail run. Access 6 cards.

Of course, it goes without saying that you should never ever run without a Blackmail. Target HQ/R&D as appropriate. (Its a special kind of fun to use Nerve Agent on a Cerebral Imaging player who thinks their hand is safe because they're holding a boatload of cards).

You can try to keep tags under control but you will probably end up floating some because the deck lacks any way to trash Activist Support. An Aesop's would work but who has time for that? I put the Lucky Finds in because its nice to have decent Event economy when you are tagged all to heck. The deck doesn't really need tonnes of cash once you start into the Blackmail runs though.

If the corp manages to rez something, switch to the other central. If they manage to rez something over both, flip the table and pull out your six-shooters cuz the time for cards is over and the time for shootin' has just started.
