Income Tax 357

A post-rotation deck I've been having very good luck with.

Main scoring strategy is to get 2 solid pieces of ice, plop down at least one Red Herrings and get to scoring ASAP. Oaktown Grid and Warroid Tracker support each other. If you manage to get them both on the remote, chances are your upgrades aren't going anywhere for the rest of the game.

Make sure you put plenty of defenses on R&D. With Special Report and Reeducation, you'll find that your hand stays pretty clean at the expense of making R&D very juicy.

The econ is solid. I enjoy Biased Reporting, both for its flavor and as a more interactive replacement for Sweeps Week.

Don't fear Film Critics, turn them into MCA Informants! Aaron doesn't do much against this deck beyond save them some tempo after being hit with Reeducation. If Dedicated Processor Yog.0 is getting you down, sic some Hunter Seeker bots on them!

Potential improvements: Change up the ice suite. Little Engine is great against Anarchs using Black Orchestra or Criminals using Abagnale, but that's about it. Assassin is a nasty surprise, but mostly used as a tempo speed bump rather than as any actual rigshooting. Try the following changes and tell me how they work out for you:

-1 Archangel, -1 Tollbooth, -1 Assassin, -1 Little Engine, -1 IPO +2 Data Raven, +2 Data Ward, +1 Macrophage

Very nice deck! How is the money situation? Do you find yourself ever strapped for cash with 3x Tollbooth?

Actually, I don't have much trouble with money. I usually only need to rez two.

Biased Reporting usually hits for 8+ credits each. Targeted Marketing can make money if you force the runner's hand (mostly by playing fast or killing key cards like Magnum Opus or a breaker).
