I have been trying to "unlock" this ID since it came out. I'm not going to say that I've done it for sure, but I think I'm finally on to something here. So much more consistent than my other builds.
There are only 3 cards that this ID actually has any effect on, but they are crucial - Jackson Howard, Caprice Nisei, and SanSan City Grid. That's it. I think my problem before was going "all in" on the ID ability. With this build, I have consistent economy and nearly untrashable SanSan City Grid and Caprice Nisei.
Comments are more than welcome. I'm sure it can use some slight tweaking!

Believe me. The threat of Shock! (because people expect that from this ID) has been enough in the last ~8 games. It could definitely go in. And Trick of Light + Ice Wall + Commercialization has been pretty awesome in this deck. Especially with SanSan City Grid. Seriously give it a try. No, you don't get the free tokens like you would from Tennin, but you have plenty. People are starting to figure out that this ID auto-includes Cerebral Overwriter, Ronin, and Shock!. And they're learning how to play against it. I think this alternate take akin to a Fast Advance is equally viable, if not more so. But, I was wrong once before :-) |
I think Shock! and all cards that hurt from Archives are the most important cards for this ID. There is no reason for runner not to go in Archives every two-three turns and you even can't defend it with powerful ices. Also Trick of Light + ice Wall + Commercialization isn't cool for this deck — it's for Tennin)
