Agile Pragmatist v1

I pretty much consider Leela my runner. This is a deck that is meant to be very adaptable and punish corp scores heavily.

The toughest aspect of this deck is remembering and piloting for mid-game. We must remember who Leela is, and where she shines. Early game should be spent setting up for the corps first score and not face-checking ICE...can't bounce rezzed ICE yeh? Ideally by then we have at least 1 Gang Sign out and Logos, with Logos being the most important card to have installed before first score. Leela is a counter-attack runner. She waits for the opening (which she creates with the bounce), and exploits the opportunity. Logos amplifies that opening. Leela can attack every server: Sneakdoor, Indexing, Account Siphon, Legwork, and can guarantee she has the right card with Logos.

I've played some variation of this deck for at least a year and I will continue playing Leela, as I thing she is the best and most fun runner to play. Gang Sign has been fantastic for this deck. It scares Corps into odd ways of scoring (if they are smart) or just ditching agendas in Archives (a wonderful scenario for Hades Shard). Most of the steals in this deck come off Gang Sign and Hades Shard honestly. Jackson has given Corps a sense of security in having agendas in archives with Jackson on the board...and they usually don't expect Hades out of Leela.

Aside from secondary access/steal methods, this Leela can set up a full rig and make a lot of money for breaking down walls. I'm a huge fan of the AC + Kati combo as I think it provides good burst and good late game financing.

I find Rolodex to be enough "draw". Clicking for cards isn't a big deal as most of the time is spent building up and waiting for the right moment to strike.

DDoS is a lot of fun. Using it in conjunction with bouncing ice, it can be quite powerful and open up multi-server attacks.

I really enjoy this deck and it annoys the heck out of Corps.
