The modern distinguished ladies and gentlemans PE toolbox

Jcree8 63

We all know there are a lot of problems with PE so here are a few solutions. 1- more then one way to kill with philotic 24/7 news, lots of fan sites around these days. 2-another way to score and or kill Prisec/ Psy field 3-some siphon speed bumps Excalibur/crisium 4-some extra cash cel gift can be used to set up traps in later turns. Takes some skill and proper timing but can be effective. 5- one thing I've learned playing PE a long time is always run 3 neural emp. With this build you can actually use them to tax for drawing up giving you a chance to score out naked agendas. Instead of saving the emp for a kill only having one use in the deck. Ice selection 1 cortex always does work now even more work on other open servers for early running criminals. 2 rainbow well they are going to break your ice anyway, block that early mimic also more of an early tax then quandary and vanilla. 3 swordsman lots of unchecked ai right now

An upgrade I wholeheartedly recommend if you have the is Georgia Emelyov. The runner can't just bounce off Rainbow scot-free.

Also, Enhanced Login Protocol is still great

@Jashay Georgia seems fun, have you tried her? I've sort of gone away from trap ice and trap set ups involving ice to give me more time to go wide. Trying to put more focus wide because keen players just dig centrals against PE, while levy is around in force, 1000 cuts seems to not the best option for PE right now. ELP seems good but I feel the inf cost of that current while running 13 agendas is to high for a card that could get trashed quick. How has ELP been working for you?

Recently? Poorly. Everyone and their mother has Rumor Mill or Employee Strike. I just can't make it stick.

Georgia Emelyov has done me proud, although again, Rumor Mill is irritating. However, only 1 to rez, so you don't lose much. The ICE I'm using is stabbier and expensive (DNA Tracker, Komainu, Tsurugi), and she's pain incarnate after them. Your ICE is cheaper, and 1 damage after bouncing off a Rainbow is admittedly probably not the biggest hit in the world

If you're looking to force a runner to check your remotes, Bio-Ethics Association and Ronin are good choices. Well worth squeezing in there. Ronin if you've only got 1 or 2 slots, Bio-Ethics Association if you can fit all 3.

Also, Project Kusanagi could be worth a look

Project Kusanagi and Stock Buy-Back could be worth a look over Sweeps Week. A rich PE is a happy PE

Thoughts on Medical Research Fundraiser vs. Celebrity Gift? I would think you wouldn't want them to be able to guess what was in your hand, but sometims revealing might be some good deterrence from them running HQ.

@dawspawn I've run MRF a ton in PE, even ran it as the only Econ card in the deck. It works especially in PEndecks where it doesn't matter how much money the apponet has..but this build is trying to give you room to breath and go wide, fight siphon just enough to set up and not give the opponent early credits hence rainbow, avoiding early easy acces to mimic and or atmam 0 etc. a well timed Cel gift in PE can also be a trap set up, Cel gift is easier to pull off in PE then one would think.
