Guerilla Journalism

obscurica 1318

Gonzo journalism at its finest: hit them where it hurts, profit off the infamy. Everything that they do just gives you more to work with, and the more you work, the easier it is to hit them.

The secret to a good gonzo hit is to be lean, mean, and cheap. A flashfire through the ranks of the corrupt.

Notable combos

Account Siphon+Patron=profit in two currencies (three if the anguish of corporations counts)

Account Siphon+Aaron Marron=profit in three, not only turning a drawback into an advantage, but also makes catching you like grabbing... smoke.

Beth seems like anti-synergy to this approach, but she's basically a Plan B for if they manage to Ark Lockdown your Siphons and start filling up their bank accounts.

If they don't, well:

Account Siphon+Levy AR Lab Access+Same Old Thing=cycle of poverty.

Further Notes

Clone chips is better than Test Run, strictly speaking, but it's hard to fit it in with Siphon and Aaron taking up all your influence.

Also, for fellow newbies like me: if you have Net Mercur on the field and you're NOT spending every click adding a coin to it with at least a Dagger activation, even if you're not making a run...

...why do you hate money?

You can't use Patron on HQ and benefit from Account Siphon on the same run; Patron will take precedence. Also keep in mind that Net Mercur only triggers during runs.

Regardless, the deck looks solid and quite stylish.

@zeofar Truly? Weird. Doesn't Patron only replace the card access effect? Wouldn't both acknowledge the run's success-state?

Account Siphon also replaces the card access effect. There is only one card access effect so you can only replace it once.
