Insta-Parasite everything. Find Parasites with Djinn. Recur them with Deja Vu, and recur Dejas with Same Old Thing. Use Workshop or Peddler to be able to install them during a run. Then reduce the ICE strength to zero with Wyrm, Null's ability, Datasucker, Ice Carver, Scrubbed, and/or the free virus counter from Grimoire.

If the enemy ice strength is low (after using my other tools) anyway, then it doesn't matter that Wyrm has to pay "twice the ice strength". Wyrm guarantees that I can get the ice to zero just by paying creds no matter how high it started. And if I'm destroying most of the enemy ice, then it doesn't matter that Crypsis is slow. It's really just there for Architect and Lotus Field (and it can be tutored by Djinn). |

Not to mention Yog costs an influence... I'm actually concerned about the Djinn. Is he there just to search for Imp/Medium? If so, it'd be better to just run more copies of those others, especially Imp. My actual worry about this deck is how it deals with CtM or other Asset Spam lists. Can you handle getting hit by Hard-Hitting News? |

Djinn can search for Parasite, even though it can't host it. You want to draw at least two copies of parasite to get the most value out of deja vu. I don't have much to deal with asset spam, unless I want to use stimhack to pay trash costs. Though I can recur Imp as easily as I can recur Parasite. |
The big problem with Wyrm is that you must boost it's str to the ICE str, before you can interact with the ICE. In the end, between Null, Grimoire and Ice Carver you really have all the tools you need to pop most ice, i would consider going -3 Wyrm, +1 Mimic, +1 Yog, +1 Corroder... You'll be better off, besides, keeping Crypsis as a "just in case" breaker is fine, but having him as your primary is suicide - It's impossible to keep up with keeping Virus counters on him, without grenading your deck speed.
