ICE I've build my ice suit to be taxing for the faust + D4v1d breaker suit. The tech of the deck is to make the runner pass through a piece of Grail ice two or three times in order to reach a server using Mumbad City Grid. From my understanding if you make the runner encounter 2 or 3 times the same piece of Grail ice then that piece of Ice will have 3, 5 and 7 subs, something rather expensive and potentially lethal, especially if you pair it with a Caprice Nisei and/or a Marcus Batty. After a lot of test I actually added 2 Assassin. They are better than komainu just because of parasites. Also Inazuma is an iteresting choise but I'm still not 100% for it.

Economy. I rely on my ID ability and the 9 Operations. Right now they seem to be able to fuel my economy. This is mostly a reaction to the Whizzard meta that is popular right now and I try to give him as little targets as possible.

Agendas I decided to have only 2 point agendas(for the runner at least :P). This means that the runner will always have to score 4 of them in order to win while I usually need 3

Cards that I'd like to include Cerebral Static has become better in my mind. Right now runners rely more on their abilities than when Kate and Andromeda were a thing, naturally I'd like to punish that :P Chronos Project is a good agenda these days considering that 3 out of 4 decks rely on Levy to stay around for the long game.

Critique is always welcome :)

@PsymonTheWizard I can't see any fault their with the grail & Mumbad Grid combo and that is an excellent idea. Tho this idea would also work on Komainu which altho more expensive would be less influence. I think the deck will need Cyberdex Virus Suite tho just to stop the Parasite's & Datasucker's.

This deck needs more love. I played against it 3 times at the SC (1 in Swiss, 2 in the top cut) and only managed to win it once. NO USELESS COMBOS HERE: everything is there to tax the hell out of your deck, breakers economy, card draw. What was your experience with anarch Faust/ICE destruction builds?
