A Bulwark Is Engaging Your Location

(note: you should probably save your Batty for Archer)

I've been playing this deck for a while and it's been fun, so I thought I'd publish it! It also came first in a very small university Netrunner league (alongside my Akiko deck), but I won't pretend that's like winning a Store Championships or something. I love big ice and trashing the Runner's stuff, so this deck was ideal for me.

It's a pretty typical Outfit deck in most ways - Hostile Takeover and Too Big to Fail being amazing economy as you'd expect, and Bulwark and Trebuchet being excellent when they only effectively cost 7c and 4c respectively. Because it's rigshooting rather than killing, we've got Trojan Horse, Archer and Marcus Batty as our fairly common program trash. Border Control means that you've got a chance to kick the Runner out enough times to score an SDS Drone Deployment and trash programs (as well as gain points... I guess). And of course we've got Archived Memories and Preemptive Action so you can do it all again.

We have a few weirder cards here for taxing the Runner out so that you can rigshoot and score effectively. Exposé is one that I've not seen in a lot of Outfit decks, but I love it in here. It acts like copies 4 and 5 of NGO Front, both at baiting the Runner to break a big ice and waste money and at improving your economic standing (by worsening the Runner's economy, in this case). This makes it easier to get a later Trojan Horse off and generally makes your servers more taxing.

We also have Corporate Town. Trashing big economy resources is your game plan against Shapers (particularly stealth, which any big ice deck struggles with). Once they access and trash it you can probably then get another Trojan Horse off, or just score an agenda in a huge scoring window. There was one game during the league where I forfeited four points to two Corporate Towns against a stealth deck, but it opened up a scoring window larger than the sun so it was worth it.

Finally, Game Over is even more tax. You'll usually call Resource, but Program is useful for dealing with Rezeki and similar, and trashing a console and some Simulchip with Hardware is great. And you get a (nearly full) refund by taking a bad publicity, which is even better. In the end, even if you don't trash anything, the tax the Runner has to pay is very useful.

Anyway, if you like shooting rigs but also having some kind of midgame plan where the Runner doesn't just waltz over you with eight bad publicity, this has served me well and it might be worth trying! Big love goes to the Warwick Uni Netrunner community for being great fun, although I am surprised that they still like me given how much rigshooter I've played.
