One of the first decks I made when D&D was made available at Jinteki.net was an annoying little "let's put all advertisments of the game in a single deck" troll deck. Guess what? It worked.
Disclaimer: I know that you have to play Haas-Bioroid to actually be able to put in ALL the ads. But the main point is to abuse the Spark ID ability, so yeah, whatever... No Rex Campaign!
The first version of this deck actually had too much money and not enough to spend it on. Even when the runner did his (or her) best to trash my asset eco, I still ended up with 40 and more. And lost the game without being able to turn the money into a victory.
Enter Dracō. I reorganized the ICE suite to be able to create a glacier that actually can keep he runner out and slow advance stuff. It may not look like it does, but together with the terryfiing eco denial machine that is Spark agency, this deck can shut out a lot of runners.
The current version is tested and strong, though I'm still tinkering around here and there. I even tested it against a Whizzard with a strong eco and recurring parasites. I gave him a hard time keeping up.
One important thing to mention is that this was never meant to be a rush deck. It is slow. And I play it slow. I did not include fast advance tools and I did so for a reason! Most agendas are scored out by a never advance tactic or classic slow advancing. Even Astro tokens are used for never advancing out NAPDs more than for fast advancing out Beales.
This also means that the deck is not too big. The games are going for a while and you usually use more than 1 card per turn, so you might actually use Jackson Howard to draw cards for using them.
P.S.:
I just won a game vs a Kate that installed Mopus turn 1, triple Rabbit Hole turn 2 and Security Nexus turn 3. Damn, bypassing is hard against this deck! It was a very close game that ended 7-6. But I still won it and here's how:
I rushed out an early 15 Minutes installed in turn 1 naked, and scored in turn 2, just because, hey, it's 15 Minutes! Who would have cared if it was stolen turn 1? Then I didn't score for a while, trying and failing to get an eco advantage. Then I sneaked out an Astro by never-advancing more cards than she could check. For the next agenda, I used the Astro token to FA out another Astro when Clot was still in the Stack and no Clone Chip and no SMC were installed. After that I faked another FA attempt to make her Clot it and run it. Then I glaciered up and made the scoring server so taxing that she just could run it one more time. Then I installed an Eve in the scoring. Beale or no Beale? Well, she ran it, made the huge mistake of trashing it and I installed the real Beale instead. I ended the game with 3 sad Dracōs in hand that had no use against 5 .
That game was a perfect example of why this deck works. I can use many different ways of scoring out agendas. Usually, I don't FA, but by all means, I can do it if I have to!

I tried this out a few times and made some changes pal. Here is the adjusted deck: Notes: Reduced the agenda and overall card count. Food is a great include so that you can just score that plus a three-pointer, and then two one-pointers to win. 2x Archangel are very taxing. TMI for the same reason. 2x Ash come in, they seem perfect for this deck and maybe better than the currents originally selected. Eve is reduced to 1x due to the above needs for influence. Anyway, these are just my preferences. It's great fun! In one game I completely wore out a runner deck, exhausting all their cards, whereas my deck still had plenty of steam left. Ad Blitz is just the best! |

Also, you may like to consider adding Surveillance Sweep to really make Dracō into a terror! |

Hmm, maybe not TMI, it can be very expensive to rez. The barrier slot is problematic because we're using the influence elsewhere...for now I decided to give Quicksand a try; its value may well increase in a long game. |

Thank you for your feedback. I checked out your version of the deck and I think you did a great job adjusting it. |
Your deck makes my fresh review of Draco sad. Kudos for that clever use.
