A criminal mill deck, the mill works in two parts first spamming Fisk Investment Seminar recurred with Déjà Vu and Same Old Thing those for more recursion if needed. Then when the corp floods use Officer Frank with Mad Dash, Net-Ready Eyes (for Mammon), and Titanium Ribs (synergy with I've had worse) to get those agendas into the bin for accessing. SYN Attack can either add to the corp rapidly drawing through their deck or getting the cards in the bin depending on the state of their hand.

A lot of draw in the deck to keep fast tempo and hopefully trip up the corp trying to keep up before they can wall you out of servers. Mammon is saved for choice runs due to the money it burns through, usually Information Sifting a big corp hand or a glory run on archives. Some other things are gang sign and inside job to try prevent the corp rushing agendas out of the flood.

I've had some real fun with this deck so far, my favourite moment was mad dash into archives that whiffed followed up with Officer Frank trashing two agendas I ran to win the game. I'm sure someone else can do a better job with the idea so I'm happy to hear comments. The deck is reliant on AI and also really waiting for Jackson to rotate.

not of a of credits in this deck. is it usually hungry for creds?

@adran06 Hey, it can be if it doesn't run into good draw early but usually bearable when it gets going whether that be partying or kati. Most cards in the deck aren't very expensive the key is timing mammon runs, unfortunately this means the deck is rather passive not really running remotes and trashing the corp's setup. Any suggestions of some good money cards that would work well in this deck?

@DrJekyll Daily Casts / Temüjin Contract both alot better than Exclusive Party also a 3rd Tapwrm would be nice that works very well with Fisk.

I've played Fisk and I actually think he's really good & tactical too many people try to mill the corp to death and fire his ability every turn with no regard to the Corp player. His ability needs to only be fired when the corp has no money / has other things to do like Purge virus counters or score an agenda.

@DrJekyll``@Pinkwarrior Temujin probably isn't the best option since the deck isn't made for Running. Otherwise, I'd agree Temujin is a must in Crim. Overall, Daily Casts might be worth more, but in this case the Exclusive Party gives accel and cred gen at a decent level, so I actually think keeping it is worth it. I'd consider adding Daily Casts though. If it wasn't so full on Inf, I'd maybe add Sweeps Week too, as it's proven very useful to me.

@Pinkwarrior Hi thanks for the suggestions, I'll definitely be experimenting with the econ of this deck. I normally run an aggressive Ken deck so the choices for money are more obvious.

Yeah I'm only starting to learn when is best to try mill/flood the corp with maximum effect and when best to fire officer frank. It has been a great experience so far and surprisingly tactical as you mention.

@adran06 Thanks for the comments really want to improve this deck as it is a lot of fun. I think I will try with exclusive party and daily casts first see if that helps and maybe try squeeze in a third tapwrm as well to force the corp into more hard choices. I'm guessing you meant an different card than sweeps week, I'd be interested to know which card you were talking about.

@DrJekyll I'm just spacy. I'm a corp player 99% of the time, so I think of corp cards more than runner cards. Mixed up what kind of deck I was looking at and thought this was a corp that could use sweeps week. XD

22 May 2017 DrJekyll

@adran06 Ah okay fair enough too many cards nowadays. I would love sweeps week in this deck, that would sought out my money problems for sure :)

You could use councilman to take care of Jackson.

24 May 2017 DrJekyll

@WhyohWhy Councilman is fairly easy to play around for Jackson, the corp only has to rez jackson on their own turn. Councilman would only shine if it was my turn and the corp was trying to surprise me with a unrezzed jackson and I surprise them with a councilman, at least as far as I can tell. I find most corps I've played just rez jackson as soon as its played and pop it shortly after to get those agendas out of the bin and this prevents PolOp as well :(

I'm sure it would have its moments but card slots are tight, more so in the updated version I'm running.
