Wait, what? Oh... Oh FU-

Do you like provoking questions in your local playgroup? Questions like "Why aren't you playing EtF?" or "Why are you playing the worst econ card?"

Well, this deck is for you! Make friends! Blow up your enemies!

While thinking about the best way to win in this meta, I weighed up the options. Scoring out? Taggy-switchy stuff? Losing? Screw that. Just nuke everyone.

Sure there's some meat damage protection and tag prevention out there, but do you know what they usually can't deal with? Two more missiles straight to their faces, thanks to a sea of tags.

There's two good reasons for playing this deck in the worst ID. Firstly, no one has any idea why you're playing this awful thing, and so you come in with the element of surprise. Secondly, it turns out that using your expensive but valuable assets to force the runner into a no win situation, where either way they end up with less credits than you, is a really good way to blow people up.

I don't think I've ever bothered trying to score an agenda with this deck, and you shouldn't either.

ICE is chosen exclusively to be annoying. Sadly there's only room for one Architect since influence is so damn tight.

This deck is pretty alright, I guess. I don't know, just go blow people up or something.

How well does this work with Runners playing link?

Custom Biotics, you sure do have the element of surprise minus not being able to have any Jinteki traps.. Looks like a fun deck to play anyway..

@martinimon Against link try to start fairly aggressively, then transfer in to losing.

@The Shiny One It definitely throws the runner off after they trash a BOOM! and then get tagged to hell. You don't need Jinteki traps when you have moments like that.

Strange, whenever I see Custom Bio I assume kill deck. This surprises people to see meat damage out of CB? Must come from our meta where people just can't stop trying the id...

@vor_lord I envy your meta. From my experience, the local CB decks are weird FA things. Blowing people up is way better.

You could switch Mandatory Upgrades into 2x False Lead. Combo with Hard-Hitting News -> BOOM!.

@EnderA That's definitely an interesting idea. Given that runners tend to run on clicks 1 and 3 with a False Lead scored, it makes mathing out turns even harder with the clickable ICE. The only problem is that you'd actually have to score one for it to be effective, which this deck is woefully unequipped for.
