First public deck. Yay! My first standard meta. Yay again! So far this deck has a 12-3 win rate in my not so experienced hands so i'm pretty happy with the build. The gameplan is obviously to kill the Runner. Further details:

Economy: Usually just small chunks of 1-2 (Cohort Guidance Program, Bladderwort, Petty Cash, Tithe) and some burst cash of 4 (Hansei Review and Tatu-Bola). Never play Petty Cash from HQ, that is our main trash target and we want to trash a lot of our cards ourselves (Cohort Guidance Program, Hafrún, Anemone, Hansei Review). The tricky part is when and how to keep ourselves around 4 for our Bladderworts and our cheap ice rezzes and when to become rich to rez Hostile Architecture and Reaper Function, or rez ice against multiple Runner attacks and still have leftovers for a Byte!. Therefore we want to have many assets installed and kept unrezzed so that we can rez those to get down below 4s before turn start, like our Reaper Functions and Hostile Architectures.

Card draw: Yeah, this is basically provided with our ID which will trigger a lot with this deck and our Spin Doctors. Depending on Runner aggressivity we sometimes need to click for draws during the early game.

Defense: We only use very cheap ices and barely protect our remotes. There is a Fully Operational version of this deck running around but i believe this is superior. Against s Boomerang and Matryoshka meta, our Semak-samun is bonkers good, place it on HQ and RD and that might even be enough. (It's also good against Botulus). Anemone is for our Archive trap and our favourite ice mid and late game basically anywhere. When the Runner wants to get into somewhere, 2-3 damage from this with a Byte! and/or agenda damage + Phật Gioan Baotixita following up with some Bladderwort or Reaper Function next turn is just fireworks. We keep enough agenda damage in HQ and in Archives that the Runner might die but do not reach enough points and keep our Spin Doctor ready to change the math on the fly. The Runner attacks Archives? Let's rez that Anemone and put a Sting! or Nightmare Archive into Archives for him. Speaking of Nightmare Archive it is a very important and influence-costy include. If the Runner reaches 4 points our agendas stop being nasty damage tools and just become blank lose conditions for us so getting an early lucky Runner back down to 3 points is crucial in these instances.

Asset spamming: We love our assets, but barely protect them with ice. Bladderworts and Phật Gioan Baotixitas have good rez-trash value and when the Runner decides to run one of these to trash it, we rez Hostile Architecture for the fun times to start. Depending on the Runners economy and remote aggressivity we can sneak in Sting!s and Byte!s as well on our remotes. Warm Reception and Cohort Guidance Program are amazing in the deck and not expensive enough to trash so those sometimes get a Tithe or something. An unprotected Warm Receptions derez can be utilized though for retriggering our Anemones, Hafrúns and Spin Doctors which i always do when i have the economy for it.

Agendas: We do not want to score to 7, we only want to score a single Sting! so the other two copies become worse for the Runner. We also score Blood in the Waters when the Runner has 0-1 cards in the grip because these are damageless points for the Runner (without an active Phật Gioan Baotixita at least). Longevity Serum is actually the worst of our agendas and only sometimes have the luck to use it if the Runner really ignores our unrezzed remotes. It's ability meshes well with the deck, but i'm mostly hesitant to put down a defenseless and damageless 2 point agenda even though i've found that it often works. All that being said if our limitless damage destroys the Runners icebreaker set, then we might be able to have a defendable remote and actually score agendas, but this is not amongst our plan A, B or C. We want to flatline them so they rudely don't respond to our ggs, or they concede midgame, or immediately ask for the decks link. All three only happened to me so far with this deck.

Hope you enjoy. Now go and flatline some Runners!
