Would you mind giving a primer of this deck similar to your early Jinteki decks? I am running a very similar one to this but I lose a lot. I really suck at Anarch, which is shame because in theory this is my favorite faction.

@Addison hehe I wasn't sure anyone was reading those walls of text :)

Generally, I have a lot less time to write now (due to real life events) so that's why I avoid writing more than 10 sentances about a deck, especially if it's a rather common meta deck, or somewhat self-explanatory :)

I'll keep that in mind and I might give you a few tips, but when I have time :)

@Dydra I spent a lot of time practicing over the weekend (bless my poor wife who hates this game) and I think I got the rhythm down. I am now confident enough with my econ engine that I even took out my Sure Gambles. That is a brave first for me...

I think the main issue I was having is I didn't have any Scheherazades and I was misusing my Cyberfeeders. They really are invaluable in a deck like this.

Also I was relying way to much on Crypsis. I know you don't use them, but I find having a backup Mimic and Corroder goes a long way. Knight was one of my favorite cards when I first started playing, but Blue Sun: Powering the Future and Swordsman have both curbed my excitement for it.

This deck ... honestly, is almost a never-run deck ... you would want to run so they rezz ICE and you can parasite that ICE... and that's it ... you seldom care about actually accessing the services you run.

The good "idea" of this deck is that both Eden Shard and Utopia Shard are "mill" cards. And unless they preemptively use Jackson, you can easily Hadess Shard for 5-6-7 points.

This deck should mill the hell out of your opponent. That's it's entire job.

The one or two times you actually need to get in a server, you stimhack a Crypsis and go for the win :)

Played against Blue Sun on Octgn and only ran once, using Crypsis, to stop Corp from scoring game-winning agenda. A few turns later I cashed in Hades for well over 7 agenda points. Mwa-hahahahaha!
