I lost to this the other day on jinteki.net. I would have rage quit, but its so beautiful.

The biotic is so clutch.

I went undefeated with this deck during the Nationals, losing only in the finals to an Exile which assembled his combo early on and wrecked my servers. I can only warn you, don't play this deck if your meta is full of Exiles. @gumonshoe I'd have cut Biotic for something else but couldn't find a worthy replacement. It also helps you when scoring that NAPD Contract out of hand on a SanSan City Grid.

@Humanoids: Have you considered Caprice Nisei? There's no way any Runner can afford to pay through that fearsome ICE package multiple times, and you can easily afford the PSI games.

I love Komainu out of faction.

what the ef is going on here o.O

I want to understand this, but I will definitely need some explaining if that is to happen. What's the general plan here?

Playing this deck is like a waltz - so much going on but it all comes together nicely.

@Kelfecil this deck is like a curveball, you can't beat it because you don't know how to play against it. Incredibly fun to play with and against, excellent work on the deck @Humanoids

I don't get it. How do you pay for rezzing those ICE? 4 is not exactly a cheapp ICE. How do you pay for SanSan or Biotic? I don't see any eco except the standard 3-of Hedge Fund and Sweeps Week.

How do you punish tags if your ICE are tagging the runner? Except for Quantum of course, but is that enough?

How do you lay the ICE? Are you stacking them like a glacier? I guess you'll have to, because you don't have anything to go horizontal behind them...

I really want to try out the deck and see for myself, but I just would be as baffled as the runner. I know the "trick" of laying out a quantum behind a single Raven, but other than that I don't get what I'm supposed to do playing this deck.

@Kelfecil @Krams You put annoying ice on centrals, like Gutenberg, Komainu, Data Raven, Lab Dog, Pop-Up, Pup. In your scoring remote you have stopping ice, like Goddess, Fenris, Enigma, Uroboros but on top of them you put nasty ice, like Grim, Komainu, Archangel. You do click for credits a lot but that's kind of how it works. Also, your centrals are somewhat safe. On tag punishment - this deck obviously scores QPMs if the runner is tagged but it also can seem like it's a kill deck or psychographics deck if they haven't seen all of your cards.

Hell a single Psychographics would probably do wonders.

Also feel like this can function well in Haarpsichord.

This deck has to be played out of NEH because there's so many assets to synergise with the ID.

Also, sometimes if you need to draw, you jam your leftover ICE in new servers to draw new cards. A favourite move of mine is intalling Komainu, then saying "Oh, crap!", then waiting for the opponent to offer opportunity to take it back, then saying that it's fine. They'll run that server next turn. Guaranteed!

They'll run that server next turn.

why would they? Sec testing?

To gain valuable information. That must've been an important piece of ice you just placed down, maybe even revealing information on your influence spread.
