Gah! Pop-pups!

Basic Jinteki. Mind games, net damage, meat damage. My only personal touch is the addition of 3x Pup and 3x Pop-up Window. Seems to me that throwing ice down with an asset makes it more of a threat. Or is it? Mwahaha...

Also ChumPupping someone sounds cute.

If Contract Killer weren't four influence it'd be a good way to snipe Film Critic, which is this deck's biggest threat.

Himitsu-Bako can free up some inf to bring in tag support to help bring her down.

Eli 1.0 is pretty steep with the restriction so I like Himitsu-Bako as a replacement. You're definitely right about Film Critic, somehow I thought about that in my Runner decks but forgot about them when making the Corp deck it effects the most. Haha.

A quick look through tagging ice and I see potential in Data Raven, Muckraker, Turnpike and Hunter. I like the guarantee of Data Raven, and I like the Pop-up Window effect of Turnpike. Muckraker seems a little overkill. I could do one Data Raven, one Turnpike and perhaps use the remaining influence on one more Cerebral Overwriter.

What do you think?

I'm struggling with what to remove for the tag support. I think Turnpike fits with the theme of cheap spam (Where's Waldo?), and with the deck as-is the only ice that costs more than 3 is Komainu. As such, I'm tempted to try the deck with 2x Eli 1.0, 1x Himitsu-Bako, 2x Turnpike and removing Celebrity Gift entirely.

I also hate the idea of giving away information with Celebrity Gift, but I can see the mind games around revealing everything and then placing multiple cards down. I would have to try this out and see how it feels economically.

My second choice would be to remove Shock!, however I appreciate the additional hate from R&D - I like damage coming from every angle possible.
