The Red Queen Returns

Now that Reina is back in business with her chess programs. It's time to test!

with money for Cassia could this be a base for something. Maybe run some keyhole or mediums to back it up?

I'm trying the Queen as well. Maybe Street Peddler, DDoS or soon Technical Writer? I'm trying to fit a Xanadu, maybe for a Bishop?

What are you looking for in you first hand?

I like where this is going.

I feel like I'd prefer Muertos Gang Member to be Forged Activation Orders... However I haven't played a Reina Rook deck in a long time. If they choose to rez they're wasting money, if they choose to trash then you only have fewer Ice to worry about, useful because Knight only breaks one ice per server.

I have never really looked at Muertos Gang Member and it has led me to a rules question. Is uninstalling different than trashing? If not, it seems a bit risky.

@triplenine uninstalling is anything that results in it no longer being installed. Trashing it counts.

where's the Multi Access?

Looks pretty interesting, a few questions though:

1) You do address the need for some central pressure, such as via Medium and/or Keyhole. However, do you think that you would have sufficient MU, and what would you cut (applies to all questions)?

2) What are your thoughts on Xanadu? It seems to synergise really well with Reina, and would actually stay on board since you don't appear to be going tag-me.

3) Why Muertos over Emergency Shutdown or Forged Activation Orders?

4) What @Il_Falco raised. Any room for new SanSan toys, and if so, which ones?

Sorry for the massive chunks of text and possible poor English. Once again, the deck appears rather solid and I can't wait to try it out this weekend. Long live the Queen! ^.^

I really like MGM in combination with Queen's Gambit. If you play Muertos Gang Member and they derez a jackson, no biggie, just Gambit the jackson for 6 creds.

Bishop isn't doing much for me, so I replaced it with Medium. took Career Fair out for e3 Feedback Implants because it saves you a ton of money. Pancakes out for earthrise hotel and Queens gambit.

What are your thoughts about it?

27 Oct 2015 CJFM

@Il_Falco After you MGM a Jackson they have a window to rez it again, so that probably won't work.

27 Oct 2015 M0H4WK

yes, but who does it? 1) I play MGM with an ice and a jackson rezzed. They choose the jackson. 2) play QG. They can't rez jackson because its my turn. Between 1 and 2 they could do that, but why would they? If they know your plan, they will, but currently, nobody does that.

They might re rez it to protect from another muertos, since you tipped your hand.

Is Bishop good in this? Bishop can accelerate a Parasite, but I don't know if it's worth it.

I'm condering dropping Wyldcakes for Earthrise hotels, Symmetrical Visage and now we have space for Xanadu etc.
