The basic idea of this deck is a simple one, make servers that are too taxing to run repeatedly and make lots of money. It did very good and lost once against Whizzard and once against Leela . The most valuable cards were Caprice Nisei, Ash 2X3ZB9CY and Enhanced Login Protocol. Biotic Labor is there to sneak an agenda or two when the runner that can get into your server and thinks that it has locked you down. Chronos Project is a must card both against Prepaid Kate and Anarchs.

I might consider changing two ice to Excalibur but other than that I don't think that I'd change anything else even after Chrome City

  • Chrome city was not legal for the event.

Played against this deck both in playtesting and the finals.

This is a very strong solid build, giving you a sense of desperation when running against it. Probably the way EtF is meant to be played.

After the tournament I think that ELP could be replaced (as Leela it cost me the game, but with event heavy PPVP Kate it might not pull it's weight) but other than that it was the most interesting corp deck in the field.

Can I ask how you get enough cash to build up a remote for the campaigns (and protect with ICE), and have enough for centrals?

Adonis + Eve+ breaker bay grid and the ID ability are more than enough money. You don't need a lot of remote servers and usually have one or two campaigns open at any given time. Even by keeping one of them behind an Eli 1.0 the runner has to pay a lot of money to trash them. If you used a breaker bay to rez it the money swing is even greater. You defend your agendas in the scoring server with ash and caprice. Don't get me wrong, this is not a fast deck, even with Biotic Labor but it is extremely taxing for the runner to both kill your economy and steal your agendas.

Keep in mind that good Whizzard: Master Gamer can make your life miserable.

Very good deck, may only lose to agenda flood, otherwise a very strong deck, too taxing for locking R&D and/or threatening remotes as a runner.

I was the only one to win it in 6 matches and that was due to agenda flood-nerve agent kind of thing with Whizzard.
