If you look for a subtle deck, pass your way.

Gargantua draws cards by 10, gains credits by 9, trashes ICEs and cards from R&D, and to conclude accesses cards from Archives without a run.

It's a 2-pass deck. First pass, play only econ cards and install all hardwares and resources, run the least possible. Second pass, sack R&D. That's all.

Thanks to Da&Da (D4v1d and Darwin), you still can access the remotes.

Obviously, you mulligan for Duggar's.

Looks fun! Love a bit of ICE destruction. I suspect this deck will either win hard or lose hard. Swordsman in particular would stop you pretty much dead. Since you won't run much, a well-timed Chronos Protocol will hose you.

How quick is it? Obviously you get through your deck pretty fast, but setting up everything must take you a fair while. Tack on the 4 turns you'll spend drawing everything, and you might be giving rush decks too long to get rolling.

Nice deck, love the idea. I think you really really need to find room for a Same Old Thing though so you don't have to worry about your Levy getting net/meat damaged away. If you lose the Levy this deck fizzles so quickly. And I'm curious, what's the reasoning for Quetzal over MaxX?

Thanks for the comment. If you like the deck, please consider clicking on the heart.

@Jashay:

Indeed, Swordsman can be a nightmare. Fortunately, not every deck contains three Swordsmen and it's possible to trash them with Keyhole before they are installed.

One way to deal with Swordsman is to replace Desperado by Box-E and one Public Sympathy by Mimic, but I don't know if the deck makes enough credits like that.

I don't know if it's possible to do something against Chronos Project. If it happens, hum… you play the game very poor. Fortunately you still have three Cyberfeeder and Desperado.

In the vacuum and no interaction (except Dirty Laundry), it takes around 12 turns to draw and install everything with Duggar's in the opening hand. However, you can threaten the remotes even if you are partially installed. Like against every other deck, you have to react against what the Corp does. I just recommend to avoid useless runs.

@ BTrain:

I have no idea why MaxX could be better than Quetzal. At least Quetzal prevents the Corp to score an agenda behind a single barrier.
