Reina Choke deck

x3r0h0ur 8969

Good chunk of cash reletive to what the corp will have when you drop xanadu and hopefully a rook and start making some runs. They either trash ice, or choke rezing it. Use FOA on ice in front of rook (never forge orders where your rooks are).

What ice does get rezed can be dropped by parasite + datasucker. The wyrm is there as a worst case with parasite (shouldn't be breaking subs with it). Chucking out medium on djinn is a win condition as you destroy the ice on the way into R&D. Clonechip on the corp's turn gets you an immediate 2 counters on it when grimoire is out, making for easy pickings for your datasuckers.

Never clonechip a caissa, at least mid run, you can't put them directly on the ice you want that way (like you would with deep red).

I like this. I planned on making a whizzard deck next specifically in the parasite/data sucker/wyrm only build. It looks like took will be an awesome addition to that as well. Props for addi g Xanadu. I've been wanting to put it in a deck since it came out. I'm a little confused about the clone chip parasite getting 2 counters on opponents turn...grimoire and ? What am I missing? Thanks.

If you play Parasite just before the start of your turn, it gains 1 counter from Grimoire and 1 from the start-of-turn trigger.

I'm really excited for knight and pawn out of this deck, which might put in bishop (due to the sheer volume of caissa programs since pawn also becomes an option).

Future addition might look like: + 3x knight +3x pawn, +3x bishop + 2x deep red (using bishop to drop ice strength suddenly to destroy it with datasuckers +parasite (its 0c to install anyway, plus pawn to bring it back for free). This version should be harder to keep out and starve of datasuckers than the posted version. Toughest part is the cuts.
