Haters Gotta Hate

There's always been a powerful combo of Data Loop / Kakugo / Obokata Protocol which feels great until the runner sticks down a Hunting Grounds and suddenly you've paid 7 credits each for an IP Block!

Uprising bought us a new toy to deal with the Hunting Grounds Hate in Scapenet!

It also gave us Konjin which pairs with Data loop in a very fun way - doubling down your Server at the cost of a psi game or spreading your rezzed Data Loop to the Centrals.

This is my idea of the deck with Hate cards for the Hate cards you will see against it.

Scapenet is for Hunting Grounds first and foremost - Konjin and Data Loop are on encounter effects so clearing away the immediate answer to that stops this deck falling flat to a single card. Also great against a variety of things I'm seeing in the current meta - Hoshiko's Companions, Null's Devil Charms, Geist and Hayley's Simulchips, Leela's Gang Signs, Adams logic bombs, and 'Everyone's' Turning Wheels!. I haven't not been happy to draw one in a match up yet - Let me know if you can think of a match up where this would be a dead card.

MCA informant is there to deal with Film Critic, but also good against Tech Traders, Cybertoopers, Kati Jones - A card that IMO probably doesn't see enough play.

Konjin is amazing here - Worth slotting the 2 even though its unique just to be sure you see it. My remotes usually consist of Kakugo's and a Data loop and i usually put a Konjin on the Central that is likely to get pressured the most. It'll cost you money to keep it going but not as much as it'll cost the runner you keep bouncing into your Data Loops and Anansi's Changing the DNA tracker for a 1 of Chiyashi as a further Konjin Target could also be a shout. Konjin is also Great protection against Hippo as it has no subs - Just try to Scapenet any devils charms if you are against ice destruction to avoid it being chiseld

Salem's is a pet card of mine - It pairs well with engram flush if they facecheck early and can help you in the apoc match up (assuming you've scored a nisei counter by then) Wait for the inevitable 3rd run - bounce them out and salems for apoc next turn (also feels amazing when you can diversion of funds and hit THREE out of a 419 grip - it can happen!)

The rest is really just money and La Costa to help you score out your Niseis

Flower sermon should probably be something else - but i wanted to try it out - Maybe the virus sapping sandbox!

Have fun - and consider slotting a 3rd scapenet (may need to drop an MCA & Salems - but is probably worth it!
