Skorpios Rigshooter (Post-Rotation)

"Boy, I am really having a lot of fun with my Corp deck lately! I can't wait to see what new tools I can put into--WHAT DO YOU MEAN THE IDENTITY'S ROTATING OUT IN A COUPLE MONTHS"

Anyhow, have a post-rotation Skorpios rigshooter. Standard Kala Ghoda Real TV-based approach, though with some modifications in the assumption that Jackson Howard is no longer the three-card solution to Corps' resource access/archives control issues.

Instead, you have to make room for things like Preemptive Action and Anonymous Tip. No, I don't feel great about it either.

Otherwise, it's straightforward. Door to Door is a constant threat, either taxing them or hitting them up for cards to remove. Blacklist means that it takes extra effort to bluff you out of wasting your ID's ability, and that's likely effort they can't really afford or built into the deck to support.

If they take anything, slap them across the face with Hunter Seeker, or tell your sleeper agent to activate.

Just curious: Why not Housekeeping? DtD taxes a single credit whereas Housekeeping is guaranteed to hit a card.

@Handsome Jack Up to play preference. But if you invest an additional credit per turn to force them to burn the equivalent of a tag-removal cost anyhow, the tax imbalance has, in my experience, strongly favored the corp. Keeping the trash effect out of Runner control when the tag sticks is also injurious.
