The idea behind this deck is to be able to run even without icebreakers. Using Parasite and Bishop alongside with Ice Carver i will tear down all early ice played by the corp. Later on i'll bring on my Knight to demolish those heavier Ice's. With Levy AR Lab Access, Déjà Vu, Retrieval Run and Clone Chip, i'll be able to recycle my parasites a lot. In theory this should work, any Input is appreciated :)

Need datasuckers to speed up the parasite killing :)

Nice idea. I agree with pleaix about using datasucker maybe also djinn to help get out parasite and datasucker if required. Maybe replace one of the money cards to use on a cyberfeeder to reduce the costs of reinstalling parasite.

  • when you recur over heap, Levy is less usefull
  • to much eco, drop a Laundry
  • I'd drop the retrieval runs, you can recur often enough with clone chips and deja vue

Take a Djin, cyberfeeder and dont forget Surge... awesome card for these purposes

p.s. mayby Grimoire is the better console here?

Thanks @pleaix, @rotage and @Crashdown. I do see what you all mean, but still i'm indecisive. The Datasucker can be an important card in this deck. but than i would need more MU, and i don't want to spend clicks that add cards that add extra MU. In last resort i could switch Deep Red for Grimoire, but i would be trading 2 generic MU for 3 caissa-exclusive MU. Since Bishop is a crucial card i prefer to stick with Deep Red. I can see myself dropping the 3 Retrieval Run to add 3 Cyberfeeder or

  1. plan on how to deal with big barriers?

  2. when the corp finds out, what you're doing, you're toast so you need an exit-plan --> breaker. I'm tempted to say overmind because you recurse anyway but with deja vue, Crypsis should offer more options and can be tutored with djin.

  3. datasucker/djin combo or wyrm... there's no other way to kill ICE (still the plan?) in an acceptable amount of time. Wyrm is freakishly expensive so... the earlier and a crypsis should give you a lot of more options. Djin gives you the bonus MUs for the suckers btw.

Remember: killing ICE - as awesome as it may be - isnt enough to win the game.

@Crashdown I don't want to kill ALL the ice i just want to be able to destroy that early less expensive ice that usually corps use. For bigger i would run Knight, but i see your point. Big Barriers can be an issue. I suppose i could swap my 3 Retrieval Run and my 3 Infiltration to add 3 Djinn and 3 Datasucker, giving me some tutoring for virus and also some more MU. With this change i'd probably be better servedwith Grimoire instead of Deep Red. Finally i could drop 1 Knight and add a Crypsis or a Darwin.
