PE Deck Drainer

I know this isn't the most original deck or even most unique PE deck but I've had a lot of fun playing it and also a lot of success. What I like most about this deck is that it can win all three ways: 1. Flatline the runner 2. Scoring 7 agenda points 3. Milling the runner deck to where they can no longer steal agendas

Using Mushin No Shin is pretty key as you can use it on a trap or just as likely an agenda. I have often had success using it on Ronin and leaving the 3 tokens on it until the runner goes below 3 cards (at least twice I can recall this). Usually the runner will assume it's a trap if you leave it alone.

Took a while to find a balance of econ and ICE but I find I'm rarely poor or clicking for credits. Formicary is excellent especially early game when you can install a 3/1 agenda but put Formicary on a central server just to have it pop up when they run the agenda early. The versatility of Formicary with the harsh 2 net damage cost will make most runners end the run (though pretty weak late game).

I usually don't bother ICEing up HQ unless it is a Criminal runner and instead leave my hand full of Snares!. I also let the mandatory draw act as a click and let the deck come to me, rarely clicking for cards. Better to build up a stronger remote, economy and install agendas as they arrive.

I usually inflict between 15-20 total damage dealt to the runner but have reached 25+ as well. This usually causes the runner to mill out or at least get below 4 cards making Protocol impossible for them to steal. Granted, if you run into Buffer Drive, Caldera. Heartbeat, Guru Davider or another damage breaker it will be an uphill battle.

Still not making use of the full 15 influence points so if anyone has suggestions please let me know. Perhaps there is a better economy card I could include from out of faction.

P.S. This is a fun deck because it involves bluffing and mind games. If the runner always guesses correctly or gets lucky accessing R&D that is ANR.
