When someone calls one of my decks cheesy it usually because it ends up
annoying my opponents. They are usually beatible, however you pretty
much need to be playing a deck to counter them - which means playing
a deck they did not want to play for the most part. If any of us
runs into a "cheesy" deck we usually just move onto a differant type of
deck, so that we can continue to enjoy the game.

I find it interesting that so many people are trying to take objectives
that they can go on easily. I tend to play decks that make their own
objectives very tough and then send my runners on my opponents objectives.
I usually can manage to run on my opponents objectives sucessfully, thus
forcing them to try and run against my objectives if they want reputation.

I don't think it will really hurt your chances. Everyone on this list
knows about this deck from the first message, and I think that if everyone
goes out trying to counter this deck type, they hurt the strengh of their
own deck. I was able to play against your deck a couple of months ago,
and I think that it is safe to say that your deck has evolved far enough
along that it should fair quite well against decks that use the same
mage/cermak blast strategy. It will be interesting to see how the new
cards in Underworld and 2nd Edition effect the power of this type of
deck as well as some of my personal favorites.
