Whampoa Industries

obscurica 1318

Heavily based off Highwire's list, but modified along the following reasons:

  1. I was inspired to make an IG list in the first place off the fact that Breached Dome and Whampoa Reclamation were respectively effective substitutes for Shock! and Jackson Howard.

  2. Quicksand plays better into IG's "inevitability" strategy, whereas Mother Goddess becomes weak Paperclippable fodder as soon as Kakugo turns on anywhere. I was thinking about Excalibur too, but all that really does outside of AgInfusion is save that server for a Click Four run.

  3. Since I'm going for a more traditional 54-card list, I have more space for Diversified Portfolio, Preemptive Action, and other utility pieces.

  4. If you can expect most Runner lists to include a full set of Employee Strike, the corp must be able to meet them install-for-install with a current of their own. Increasing the number of Enforced Curfews should do the trick.

  5. I feel like you barely need the Snare!s now that Obokata Protocol is a thing. Good enough that it's a pain and a half to keep a sufficiently large hand for even one server, I think, much less enough to secure just one Obokata.

Note: if the rumored MWL update puts Friends in High Places to 3, it should be feasible to replace them 1:1 with Team Sponsorship. It's not anywhere near like the most reliable replacement, but at least IG inherently protects TS -- and, lets face it, FIHP was hardly fair in the first place.
