Reina Choke deck 2.0

Forged orders and cortez chip play so well together. Scout HQ for ice and other things, imp good ice if you hit it, if you don't try to remember what you've seen and make educated guesses about where the archers, tollbooths, etc are going. Use Cortez chip and forged to make the corp either rez them at inopportune times, or trash them.

Destroy ice with wyrm and parasite, or break it with knight. Knight should keep you free to get in and collect sucker tokens.

Alter your threat angles by playing but not necessarily using nerve agent/medium. Use them only if they don't react to them (much like the swiss army whizzard does).

Forged orders works well with parasite as well, you don't have to facecheck anymore. If you lose a wyrm or knight to swordsman, don't sweat too much, you have a few, or deja vu to get them back.

Considering switching out quality time for notoriety or snitch and 1 other card since draw hasn't been too bad to me yet.

I think the deck needs clone chip x3 rather than the cortex chip x3. The clone chip is going to do so much more over the game than cortex chip imo. Find a spot for rook x3...I've been saying it with FAO and it's incredible! Clone chip/pawn to get it back. I see what you're going for with this build but I think the clone chip/rook/ pawn recursion is going to be better.

Rook was substantially slow for what it am doing, especially when the ice destruction keeps it to 1-2 ice per server, I literally had no where to put the rooks and utilize them. If I had more Tudor, i'd agree but the 2 credits to install and click to put on the board and click to move, it's too much, in addition to eating up precious mu (if you don't draw Djinn)

Clone Chip vs Cortez I think is still up in the air, since Cortez is way more surgical, and I get more ice kills for 2 clicks and 1 credit, rather than sucker tokens and 2 credits and 2 clicks. If anything I want another deja vu, but same old thing covers that in a pinch. I'll see how the next 15 games go and see if I ever want clone, because before I almost never wanted it.
