Noise the Cyber Threat (Upstalk)

ImTheBanker 141

I've never quite been able to understand Anarch, but I've actually found this to deck to playable.

Your main goal is to mill the Corp. Now with Upstalk, you've got a couple new toys. The less important one is Lamprey, which isn't actually here for use, but because it's a 1 cost Virus. The important one i Cyber Threat. Best used when you have either a Medium or Nerve Agent down, this--along with Forged Activation Orders--serves as a safe way to rez ICE so that you can plant a nice little Parasite on it. Apply light pressure on either HQ or R&D when necessary: anything to divert them from winning quickly. Your 3 breakers are all Knight: use it to get in when you need to. Otherwise, just keep installing viruses and sacrificing them to Aesop's Pawnshop to keep enough creds. You'll know you've struct gold when they put that 2nd piece of ICE over Archives. Don't even worry about running there, just keep milling.

As a quick aside: has anyone else noticed a particular lull in the quality of character of OCTGN players? The number of players who quit rather than accept a loss has been more the rule than exception lately for me.
