Centrals-only Leela - first place Fair Game tournament 2/2

Snipafist 91

Hit centrals as much as possible. Get your tempo up with Datasuckers and Desperado, which have a lot of synergy with central-only breakers and let you run pretty cheaply. Cards installed in remotes are not nearly so safe as they first appear. You've got a couple options: 1) Make a Maker's Eye/Legwork run and snag an agenda. Either return the unrezzed probably-agenda in question to the corp's hand and try to access it later (or as part of the same access with Legwork if you're lucky) or bounce the ice in front of it if it's only defended with one ice. 2) Nail the corp with enough Account Siphons that they cannot rez the ice in that remote. 3) Use some combination of ice-bouncing and Inside Jobbing to get in there.

Against opponents who are not expecting it, centrals-only Leela can get into remotes much more easily than they'd expect.

Otherwise, Leela's ability tends to slow down the early game for the corp. Run naked as much as you can until you need to set up your suite. There's enough duplicates that you can afford some early zaps if you need to. Exploit openings as much as possible and try to snowball them into a power turn or two.

This deck can and will go tag-me if necessary. If you're swamped with tags, you can play and use Same Old Thing from hand to recur events for 3 clicks total, giving you one more click to cause more trouble.

Be careful vs. Jinteki flatline decks. You normally want to draw up and run all over the place and that behavior will get you killed and/or decked vs. Cambridge-style Jinteki. I've been meaning to find room for a Feedback Filter in the deck but so far have not decided what to cut if I do decide to make the change.
