Ok, this deck is pretty much a browse and sleaze
deck. With the combination of skills that the runners
possess, I should be able to sleaze just about any
challenge. The bad news is, however, that my runners
can't fight worth a damn. The good news is that I'll
know what I'll be up against before I attempt the run.
Static and Browse make a kick ass combo.

Just a little comment...

Since you have the deckers and the room, I'd add in a couple of Crash and/or Steamroller
cards. Nothing like being able to just toast the card without having to worry about
sleaze or combat.

Add a Foxy Roxy and change the two Glitz to thrash, that way they can go
to the Iron Lung. Then add Fastjack and Duncan and lose the two Hollywood.
You would also want to consider dropping down to only one Mole and
one Macabre and putting in a Knuckles or two to save your weak
players from wanted, riots etc. This is just my opinion on how to
strengthen the "sleazability" of the deck.

Guard canīt save a Runner from a Wanted attack. The combat doesnīt take
place in the safehouse, so Knuckles is not present with the attacked
Runner. ---Felix
