Paintbrush deck with a focus on draw-based economy. With some VoicePADs out, Sure Gamble, Lucky Find and Dirty Laundry are VERY good credit-generators.

until they go 6 cheap ice on RD and then what is your back up?

Lol, win before they install and rez 6 cheap ice on R&D?

They would be pretty well undefended elsewhere if they managed to rez 6 ice on R&D.

If the game runs long, that's where Escher, Infiltration and Satellite Uplink come in. Either rearrange R&D so it's got code gates in the middle of the ice stack, or just force successful runs on the remote servers whenever there's an agenda on it.

Tried this deck in a game tonight and it was pretty fun to play. Have one question though. How do you handle facechecking ice that's buried in a server? I could expose it I guess but that doesn't help me get through it unharmed. Fortunately I was able to force enough rezzes with Gordian where it wasn't an issue but if a server got two or three unrezzed ice on it I would get a little nervous running into it blind.

Nevermind, I'm an idiot. For some reason it didn't occur to me to click the Paintbrush immediately after they rez the ice.

You can't use clicks during a run

Yeah, it's more that it's relatively reasonable to facecheck with this deck. Net damage and tags aren't that big a deal because there's a lot of ability to draw and get income. Program-trashing is a bigger problem, but Test Run and AR Lab Access make program recovery doable.

After testing this deck for a little, I think Omega is a waste. It's just too expensive given its limitations. I'm considering replacing it with Snowball.
