The Chairman

AceAttorney 17

When I saw Chairman Hiro I was intrigued by his high risk but powerful effect. His card is a pseudo 2 brain damage. So I said to myself, "what cards can benefit from lowering the runner's hand size?". Well more brain damage, so Tori Hanzō and Data Mine are in. Jinteki: Personal Evolution turns Fetal AI into a very dangerous card when the Chairman is out. Snare! is also very dangerous. Gyri Labyrinth would stack with the Chairman. The rest was sprinkled in.

This deck is all theory, haven't tested it yet (and if some think it might not work, I might not even).

Hm. I think you need a more stable server to protect the Chairman. Other than that, it could be an interesting twist on the Glacier decktype. Make it costly to get the Chairman, while also limiting the runners hand. I'd add at least a couple of RSVP or Tollbooth to protect him. Maybe Jinteki: Replicating Perfection would be a better ID choice? Then you could also add Encryption Protocol to make him even more expensive to trash? I love the idea of protecting him with Caprice though. That could make it an interesting choice for a Nisei Division: The Next Generation deck as well. Good thoughts in there.

@aermet69 All interesting ideas. I had an idea of running Scorched Earth with Cerebral Cast (as a tagger alongside Snare!) and Closed Accounts (as a way to cut the trashing funds) but dismissed it. Scorched flatlines when Chairman Hiro is about and Cast is a tough choice for the runner: take a tag and maybe get Scorched or take brain damage and make 3 net damage cards (like Snare!, Neural Katana, and Ronin) flatlining cards. I dismissed the idea due to influence (Scorched costs a lot).
