All the Way Down

Want the fastest Turtle around?

Then you need to think about the other half of it's text. You can get counters for both access and expose. So let's do that!

Strategy: You're going to get everywhere with a Turtle. Any remote, any central, you just need to keep it charged. As you get to the end game you may be less reliant on the turtle as you get out a few real breakers, but really you'll be turtling up for as long as you possibly can.

Specific Cards

Deuces Wild: Hey look. Economy with an expose at the same time with a run that will charge the turtle. Yes.

Drive By: This was good normally. Now it also gives you a turtle token.

Emergency Shutdown: There are some problematic ice for the turtle. Make them rez them alot. How many times are they really going to rez a Chiyashi. And hey, you're going to HQ anyway.

Exploit: See above.

Inside Job: This deck is about moving fast early on. Inside job does this very very well.

Special Order: It's a 4th turtle.

Sure Gamble: Have you guys seen this card yet. It looks really good.

Doppelgänger: This is one of the best uses of this console I've ever seen. A 5th run with the turtle brings you up to 6 counters per turn without even getting other support (assuming you can get into HQ).

Bank Job: You know what the turtle likes? Not accessing cards.

Daily Casts: Why not?

Data Folding: This really does a good job of providing all the money the turtle needs for the long haul. Be careful with your programs not to turn this off unless you have to.

Dean Lister: This card should have been called Splinter because it's very good at taking small turtles and making them big.

Film Critic: This was a meta call. There was alot of Jinteki and Skorp around.

Political Operative: Because who wants to deal with Ash?

Abagnale, Mongoose, Paperclip: Use these to break out of the lockout that your opponent is probably trying to build. In many matches you won't install these at all. In general only install them when you need them.

Aumakua: Pass

Datasucker: Similar trigger to the turtle, and is complementary. Great.

Equivocation: Because you need to actually win the game when you can go anywhere.

about Bank Job: not accessing cards means the turtle doesn't get counters, as it says "If you access" but the Bank Job says "instead of accessing". How about some GPI Net Tap instead? one counter for each Ice they don't rezz + some security?
