Deck valid after Fifth Rotation |
With the Liberation cycle upon us, and with it the rotation of the Flashpoint cycle, I wanted to share a deck that I've really enjoyed playing the last couple of months. If I had had the time to attend a tournament this year, this is the deck I would have taken, as it's the only build I've had any sort of consistent success with on Jinteki.net.
The game plan is to get as much money as you can with Algo Trading and Rogue Trading, then Counter Surveillance. The trick is knowing when to Counter Surveillance; if you have Obelus down it can be worth doing with just 4-6 tags to draw you into more economy or breakers. Sometimes you don't even need to Counter Surveillance, as you can do quite a decent remote lock with the help of Light the Fire! In terms of mulligan targets, you ideally want either Dummy Box or Obelus in your starting hand, as without them it's difficult to get Rogue Trading or Algo Trading generating credits. If you suspect you're facing a BOOM! deck, Obelus or Jarogniew Mercs are good cards to have on hand.
Algo Trading is a bit of a pet card of mine, and I think this is actually a perfect deck for it. It helps you dodge Market Forces, is pretty safe if you have Dummy Box, and generates 2 credits a turn, which is basically Bloo Moose levels of economy! Fermenter is perhaps an alternative, but is obviously weak to being purged. The only Corp effect you don't want to encounter with it are return to hand effects (Self-Growth Program and Amani Senai) so be careful if you suspect those.
Hope you enjoy this deck while it's still legal!
