Hannibal Lecter

I've finally gotten a little burned out on the variance that comes with MaxX, so I'm trying a more traditional suffocation strategy - in this case, financing Vamps with Account Siphons and the grim inevitability of that Iain drip.

Their doesn't seem to be any real econ other than your ability and as nice as it is it's not going to carry you to the end, I also feel the Breach would be better than Inti it's in faction and great against big barriers which Corroder isn't.

This isn't a normal Criminal deck, where you're trying to get constant drips out of Katis/Security Testing. For one, those cards don't play well with tags, and this deck is more than happy to float tags in most matchups, because most of your resources are temporary and the goal is to put your opponent down to no money so they have to spend potentially their entire turn just to trash, say, a Daily Casts. For another, your goal is to not have to play that kind of long-money game, where you have to pay, say, eight credits a turn to keep the corp under an R&D Interface lock. Once your opponent has been Siphoned and Vamped down to nothing, you often can just keep them under a regular-old soft R&D lock or just access their entire hand on the cheap.

Inti is sketchy, for sure, but I really really really don't like Breach. You want Inti principally for two cards - Ice Wall and Wraparound. It's a second Corroder for those occasional horrible situations where your first gets lost to random damage/trashing.

@greyfield i get its your back up breaker but i prefer a back up breaker that's better in different situations and considering the deck i think it would be wise. Blue Sun is gonna cause you some major problems and breach is brill in that situation, otherwise you get OAI on curtain wall turn 1 and that's you done. Maybe you don't play against blue sun alot so u could be fine but its the only Weyland i really see these days.

You say your not looking to play the long game and then you have Logos in your deck it seems counter intuitive. I dunno maybe its just my meta but i find Account Siphon can't keep a corp down they have so many easy ways to get their cash back Sweeps Week, Beanstalk Royalties or Oversight AI.
