Why lose when you can party?

Trevyn 9

Darlings and Lovelies! This is an Exclusive Party you've been invited to, and I don't want any riff raff showing it's face here! You leave your silly computers at home! Arrive in your fanciest Sports Hopper, get those Spy Camera's flashing upon your fancy new Plascrete Carapace... Wait... you came to a party dressed in a Plascrete Carapace?

Fine, whatever. You did bring a date right? Oh? A Doctor? Is it Doctor Tran? No? Then who? Dr. Lovegood? Oh my! He seems something of a curious sort. What's that briefcase he's holding onto? Did he bring a The Black File into my party? Don't worry darling. I won't let anything happen to him. After all, we're beautiful and Guys Fall at our feet to keep us happy!

All right, enough of that. Let's get to business. You'll note there are ZERO ice breakers in this deck. You're not here to win. You're here to not lose. You will never have to run, never do anything but dance the night away, and probably annoy your Corp dance partner. How?

Dr. Lovegood and The Black File. On your turn, you blank it's card text, thus never losing a token off of it. This will force the corp to try to kill you. But how can it? Most of the moves it needs requires you to foolishly go to them. This isn't their game, it's yours. Humiliate them accordingly.

But, what if they have ways to tag you? Pay it off. If they can't kill you (and if you keep out your Plascrete Carapaces, they shouldn't), then that means they need to pay to break your The Black File. You've got Fall Guy to leap into the way to save them! Déjà Vu to help get them back, as well as a pair of Levy AR Lab Access to keep you good.

But, the corp is fast. You need to be too. With Exclusive Party and Sports Hopper to draw with, and Spy Camera to stack your deck quickly, you should be able to get to your stall tactics well before they get set up. Hostage will get out your Dr. Lovegood or your Kati Jones fast, and the rest falls into place.

They are going to have a long time to stare at you, and once you're properly set up, there will be no need to do anything but dance the night away! This is a ball, after all. You should enjoy yourself!

Note that blanking The Black File with Dr. Lovegood when the Corp is on 7+ points will result in the Corp immediately winning, making this party - unfortunately - finite.

(This is the second time I've noted this exact interaction in a deck comment. Help, I'm stuck in a loop!)

@DevencireAbsolutely true. Hmm... I wonder if there are ways to pop resources back into your own hand, so you can just refresh this over and over... >_> Good catch. It's not perfect, but now you've got me thinking.
