Siphons Are A Girls Best Friend

My experience has been that once DLR comes into play and is able to function it becomes priority one for the corp to trash it. Criminals have the ability to twist the knife better than any other faction while the corp is distracted with this card. As decks become more streamlined each card serves a purpose and thus trashing the corporations options becomes extremely powerful.

The concept in my head was credit denial via Cortez Chips, FAO, AS, and ES with a mid to late game transition into multiple DLRs milling for one or two cards a turn until you have the corp completely credit starved and then hitting DLR with each click resulting in decked win or an archives glory run. My thinking is that Fall Guy will have to be trashed prior to DLR conceivably costing the corp many clicks and credits. SOT will allow you to continue to apply pressure with siphons and indexing if they attempt to build their credit pool back up. You can leave an Armitage charged for dealing with Closed Accounts (again Fall Guys will save the day, unless we get some character assassination happening). Knight will force them to trash early game ice or grant you access (try to keep Knight installed only hosting on ice that has been rezzed). Sac Construct one of to make you breathe a little easier if you can get it in play. (Grim is a beast!) Cortez Chips double for Power Shutdown protection (although you want to see that card played). Crypsis because he communicates that if I have enough money you can't keep me out - and once the siphoning starts you should be credit flush.

I admittedly play very little Criminal (Im a Shaper guy) so its taking some time getting used to the play style. I will say many games I have played have resulted in the trashing of so many agendas that the corp simply was unable to win before decking out, or they opt to Jackson Howard back agendas so late in the game that I can index with a near certainty of scoring 3 to 4 points on a turn.

There is still testing/work to be done as I still think it could be better but I'm having a lot of fun. Ultimately, the goal is to siphon everything - economy, ice, agendas, assets, upgrades - because if that isn't criminal then what is?
