Many End-the-run ice to protect your Assets and early Agendas. Don't allow the Runner to hammer R&D. Crisium Grid to protect against a whole variety of nasties.

Dedicated Response Team forces Runner to take Meat Damage instead of Tags from Agenda thefts.

Jackson Howard back your The Cleaners/Vanity Project if they come out too early.

Consider a risky attempt to score a The Cleaners, even if the Runner steals it. This will give you a Media Blitz target.

Also, scoring a Private Security Force really opens up your flatline options. Note: Media Blitz cannot be used on Private Security Force

Flatline options:

Case A: No The Cleaners

Case B: Scored/Media Blitzed The Cleaners

  1. 24/7 News Cycle the Posted Bounty + 2x Scorched Earth

    Case A: 8 Meat Damage
    Case B: 10 Meat Damage
    
  2. 24/7 News Cycle the Posted Bounty + Scorched Earth + Click a Scored Private Security Force

    Case A: 5 Meat Damage
    Case B: 7 Meat Damage

Above are the most likely Flatline scenarios. There are still even more flatline options which are less likely to occur (eg. Runner Tagged + 3 Scorched Earth or Ready to Score Vanity Project + Runner Tagged + Scored Private Security Force + The Cleaners effect, having 2 The Cleaners scored/1 Scored 1 Media Blitzed).

Let me know the crazy combos you pulled off!
