I have at least one Corp Sec in each of my decks except my all
Challenge replacing Objectives deck (see next post). I put her in
there because
she is a good card just to have on the table. Here is a few of the
times when she comes in handy.
1. Lost all your deckers due to Riots,Tempset,....
2. Closed systems
3. When you know your opponent likes to put more than 1 security
decker
in their deck.
4. You are playing a non-decker heavy deck and your opponent is playing
a decker heavy deck.
Now the cost does keep you from using her alot, but when you need to
see that last challenge before committing your runners, 3¥ is not that
much to pay.
