Did you run into any Film Critics?

@Thike I did and it was painful! Midseasons turned into a dead card the moment Film Critic hit the table.

The runner seemed dedicated to scoring points via Film Critic, which to me felt really click intensive. Resulting in the runner not checking my remotes too often.

I had the opportunity to sneak in a Breaking News in a remote server pretty early on and later score to Traffic Accident Scorched, which felt really lucky.

I also really like the idea of the Profiteering. How did it work out over the usual TGTBT? Did it ever bite you in the ass?

@Thike Hmm I've never actually played with TGTBT in this deck.

I've definitely lost games because I took all the money from Profiteering, but I've also come back from almost losing games for the exact same reason. It's a really nice credit swing and if the runner does steal it it's not too big of a deal.

It's very hard not to pass up scoring it early for the extra credits. You just have to be very cautious about the runner you're up against and if they can utilize the badpub well or not.
