Legitimate Businessmen: a deck powered by the good and honest people of Weyland Consortium.

The latest mods to this deck are very slight: -1 Curtain Wall -1 Hadrian's Wall, +1 Orion, +1 Changeling. For Orion, I wanted something with a little more beef than Curtain Wall to slam in people's faces. That it can net me 1 more credit back from the Oversight AI Blue Sun: Powering the Future trick is just ICEing on the cake. Changeling is to have a 4 Str ETR, that can prolong the mid-game if the runner doesn't have a full suite out by nature of being able to swap between Barrier and Sentry. Also -1 Daily Business Show and +1 Jackson Howard. This is just because Anarchs are more popular now, so I want more recursion available.

I'm using NAPD Contract along with 3 sources of Bad Publicity (2x Hostile Takeover, 1x Grim). Elizabeth Mills is able to manage dealing with all those sources - is a clutch player against Valencia builds, and can single handedly wreck a Personal Workshop player's day... And can also cause Noise some trauma as well by nuking his pawnshop and/or wyldside.

With a single Bad Pub though, NAPD Contract looks like Priority Requisition - which can really mess up a runner's math.

Follow the chain 2 versions of this deck ago for an extended speech on how awesome Elizabeth Mills is, and some of the other decisions in this deck such as SEA Source vs Midseason Replacements.

Possible changes for the future

I'm debating trying to fit a single Taurus back in this deck. It's been sitting in my deckbox next to the ID for weeks now.

I'm considering going back to a no-kill variant, it'll depend on how much I've Had Worse messes with my kill shots I guess!

My only thought is that you only have 5 ice in your deck that are punishing to face check - Caduceus, Tollbooth and Datapike. Its something that was highlighted as a problem in some of my decks, and I find that Weyland (with their abundance of barriers) suffers from it a great deal. I think trying to squeeze the Taurus back in would help (for those Criminals who put down Desperado and run). Also, how are you finding not having Crisium Grid with the abundance of Eater/Keyhole/Wanton Destruction/Account Siphon decks around at the moment?

I'd argue that Archer and Grim are pretty punishing to the face check. :D

My avoidance of Crisium in this deck works here by just making the servers really expensive to go through. Runners need a tonne of money to get by 3 pieces of ICE. In the opening turns, Hive costs Eater 6 credits to get through each pass. If someone is Keyholeing me that early - it's really only possible for them to do so once a turn with such a tax set up.

Blue Sun: Powering the Future is somewhat naturally resistant to Account Siphon. Just spend all your money on rezzing ICE, then bounce it back. ICE all of the things!
