First time publishing a deck!

Basic plan is to trigger the corp ability as much as possible through the use of various pieces of ICE (Yagura , Data Mine and so on), score out House of Knives early as possible and use that to continue the fun! Pick out any icebreakers or recursion the runner has in his grip.

After some fun with that, use blacklist to guarantee the runner can't get there important cards back. Use Archer on a scoring server ideally, or an important central server if needed, using a used up house of knives to rez it.

I've not had a chance yet to play this version of the deck, but this is my second build of the deck. The first build used Ichi 1.0 and Eli 1.0 but found that they didn't secure me as well as the runners would click through them, so i took them out for archer and more cheap stop the runs.

I'm experimenting with using Quandry, but originally built the deck using Pop up Windows, which I've found fairly effective of keeping the runner out... not entirely sure why but thinking it's due to it being quite taxing to pay through and giving me a credit.

Targeted Marketing is fantastic. You shouldn't expect to get the ten credits from it ever... but if you make the runner desperate enough they will be forced to play the card you name! Even if they don't play it, this isn't bad as you're keeping something out of the game. Against known netdeckers this can be handing for keeping rid of there important Ice Breakers.

Any feedback would be super useful and plan to keep updating the deck and improving it through play!

I'd consider Mamba in Chronos Protocol almost always. With this build I'd also look at swapping in a Chronos Project for one or your House of Knives. With 2x Blacklist it pulls so much weight it's absurd.

I'd also cut whatever you have to for your third copy of Neural EMP.

Wall of Thorns is a solid Jinteki barrier that meshes well with the identity and will let you score out a little easier. I'd throw one in.

@FarCryFromHuman cheers for the feedback! Mamba I wasn't aware of but will certainly try it out seems like a good idea. I was toying with the idea of Chronos Protocol: Selective Mind-mapping but feel I need to ensure that House of Knives is scored out ASAP. I suppose could swap one out to try it with Mamba.

Neural EMP will get a third copy in as soon as i've played with the deck a little more, and I can figure out what to take out (Currently it's tempting to take out 1x Targeted Marketing because while it's effective for preventing the runner from playing something, or taxing them should they play something, I don't see it making the deciding difference in a game...)

I had a Wall of Thorns in the original deck, while it's quite strong, it's a tad pricy to rez up compared to a lot of the other ETR ice I am running... I may once i've had a few games and can see how effective the ICE I'm running currently fair. It's certainly on the 'Side deck' of potential cards for this deck.

Cheers for the feedback!

Right after the advice from @FarCryFromHuman I've made a small change..

-1 Quicksand +1 Wall of Thorns
