Do you love to make money and draw cards?

Sure. We all do!

These loves might even inspire you to try playing this deck, but do you like to win games? Well, then this deck is not for you. Go look elsewhere. I mean it. It CANNOT WIN. Don't try this deck unless you are a good sport and like to be angry.

The goal is to save up lots of money and draw lots and lots of cards. Then score, quickly behind the Ashigarus and the IQ's. Unfortunately, the scoring part never works.

The deck is 0-18 or so in our current meta, which is, as @locusshifter said, "very competitive," and the deck is 1-50 or so on OCTGN, but the one that I won was against a dude's first try at Netrunner, so I was coaching him throughout.

Still, the first time that you flip over that Ashigaru when you have 17 cards in hand, the only thing that a runner can do is mutter "Oh, explitive!" and chuckle softly or type "lol," as he ends the run. IQ is just ridiculous expensive most of the late game, but sometimes in the early stages you only have 8 cards in hand, and when you recycle the Restructures over and over and over with your Reclamation Order and your Archived Memories, you cannot help but end up with about 45 or 60 credits, so you can afford it.

But then, after the laughs die down, the runner changes tactics, finds a D4vid or saves up all his bread and somehow manages to push Kati into giving him more and more money. Next thing you know, your Ashigarus look like Usagi Yojimbo, and the runner skips right on by that silly rabbit.

Just keep in mind that the deck can't win.

So, whatever you do, don't run it.

Seriously. It's only frustration.

Give this a a try just to see how it plays for you: 1 less ashigaru, drop an Accellerated Beta test and either both Chronos Projects or Pet Project and one of them to put in 2 Efficiency Committee and 2 Shipment From San San.
