I will find you . . .

I've been playing a Cambridge PE deck for the better part of 6 months. I won a local tournament with 25+ players and my corp went undefeated, with 5 straight flatlines. You could say I'm partial to this archetype.

A player in the local meta has been trying to make this identity work and I'd like to throw my proverbial hat in the ring.

The Basics: I feel like 9 of your influence is immediately taken. 6 for Snare! and 3 for Jackson Howard. Snare! protects your HQ and R&D and Jackson Howard needs no explanation in a deck with 13 agendas. The remaining 6 is where you decide how your deck will play. I feel the best options include Ghost Branch, Psychic Field, Cerebral Overwriter, and Data Raven.

I've chosen Cerebral Overwriter and Ghost Branch for my particular deck. Psychic Field is an incredible card but I was mainly using it as a deterrent against checking un-advanced remotes and thereby better protecting un-rezzed Dedicated Response Teams. I feel Snare! is enough for that regard. And it's probably more important to make running double-advanced remotes more precarious, hence my choice for Cerebral Overwriter and Ghost Branch. Finally, Data Raven has such synergistic potential but I suspect it will ultimately stand as an ETR ice the runner will simply avoid, and Weyland has plenty of other options in that regard.

In playing the deck, a great many of your turns will simply be: install-advance-advance. This is a stark departure from a Cambridge PE deck which tends to favor installations without advancement. This change will make the stolen agendas a bit more painful but puts you in a much better position should your agendas survive. Twice advanced Vulcan Coverup and Posted Bounty can simply be saved until the opportune turn. I'll admit, this is the hardest thing I had to learn in playing Cambridge PE - just because the runner ignored an agenda the turn after you installed it, you shouldn't immediately score it out. The fewer things you rez, even to score, means less information for the runner and quickly puts them in a more precarious position. The exceptions would be Project Atlas for a token, The Cleaners for the extra damage, and False Lead for click compression.

It's also worth noting you should aim to stay at a 9 credit minimum at all times. This gives you the leeway to survive a single Account Siphon and still trigger Snare!. Furthermore, you'll want to review the timing windows for rezzing cards during a run because of Dedicated Response Team. It's not as willy-nilly as triggering a House of Knives counter and you don't want to make a silly mistake.

Finally, if you're having trouble developing the steely exterior necessary to pilot this deck and unnerve the runner (and meditation isn't your cup of tea), store the monologue below in the back of your mind and let the gravel in Neeson's voice chisel your soul into a monolith of cold granite
