Power Transmission

Welcome to power transmission. An experiment to see just how much trace-nirvana transmission dish can dish out.

This deck works its way into Muckracker and Shinobi surprise hits and capitalizes on as many cards as possible for trace-synergies.

Transmission dish helps to ensure that your TMI can be rezed sooner and more reliably. Viper with the trace boosts can become a strong code gate for cheap. Caduceus can end the run more reliably while making money and muckraker and Shinobi can land more of their traces thanks to the dishes.

Invasion of Privacy with the extra trace strength becomes viable, Taurus, Ash and Power Grid Overload are also strong candidates but I've chosen to focus on multi-sub Shinobi instead and I didn't want to drop vipers and caduceus to include them (it is a possible alternative version with the Taurus and/or Power grid overload).

Midway station can become great with your ice that generally has 2+ subroutines (except the small ones and TMI but those are for the early game).

Broadcast squares with your dish make it so that you can play as much bad pub as you want and not worry about getting any.

PSF gives you some tag punishment but honestly NAPD would be better but is risky because you could collect a bad publicity.

I've gone for asset economy here but this can be replaced with a more burst-economy. But the higher cost ice suits better a longer lasting economy. Plus it gives you a touch of additional account siphon protection.

Other cards that didn't make the cut: Snoop: because I have Invasion of Privacy and would rather have Ice that kills or ends the run. More data-hounds: because they don't end the run and can become a liability later on. More code gates: because I am trying an all-in trace strategy, may need to put in more "traditional" ice like pop ups, toll booth etc... but trying to avoid this. More tag punishment was considered but dropped to keep the focus clear of the deck, but a different deck with a lot of tag punishment (SE, Closed A. and the new bad times) and chilo city grid could be interesting too. Near Earth hub was considered but I just want more trace power to the max.
