argus v4

What up, Johnnys?

Here's an Argus list based on the Timberlake Scorcher that is all about tempo. Rush implies binary ETRs on the remote, but we know those are no good vs Faust these days, so the main idea is Data Raven on the remote. The Raven tag plus ID ability should keep runners starving for clicks. 3x Fast Track to keep pressuring them with remote plays before they get Wyldside setup. You don't want to run out of agendas mid-game after an explosive Hostile-Oaktown start! Getting to 5 points means you can force them to play "Snare! or Atlas?" And technically they have to play around SEA, too, even though it's not included.

My favorite things about the deck:

• The playstyle makes Film Critic irrelevant. Two clicks is just as much of a tempo loss as two cards or a click and 2c to remove a tag.
• You never have enough money to SEA Source smart players as Argus anyway and cutting it feels liberating.
• I like to think of 3x Snare! as clickless Medium defense from turn 1, in conjunction with the ID ability.
• Oaktown baby. Tempo tempo! The closest IAA comes to verbal taunting.
• Nothing special for Whizzard to trash.
• Faust D4 don't use Bad Pub to break subs.

Tips:

• I don't get Atlas counters usually, I just get the points mostly.
• I don't fetch Scorch with Future is Now usually, I just get Oaktowns mostly.
• Archer is usually dead but can tax Faust at times. Caduceus I miss u. I'll try to be more ethical in my corporate expansions. <3

It all adds up to a nice, interactive game of honest Netrunner. No go out there and beat those Whizzards!
