VS.
-2 Duncans (you have enough street)
-3 Siskos (he doesn't have any skills)
-2 Ajax (just for 1 skill, I wouldn't)
+2 Scorpio (Skills, ability)
+1 Foxy Roxy (ability)
+1 Ivan (Theme)
+3 Thrash (your main problem is money)
-2 Nets (too weak)
-3 Maglocks (too weak)
-1 Flock of Geese (too weak, for this deck)
-4 LS Drone (with 1 LS HQ all your LS guys are at least 4/4)
-1 LS Undercover (you know why)
-1 Change of Plans (open a card slot)
-2 Whoops! (why lose 'em a skill and still have him there to take some
<they'll divide it right> of the damage, when you can send him home and
concentrate more fire on the others...)
+3 W.Goose Chase (acts like a challenge that can't be sleazed)
+1 Guardian Dracoform (almost every deck should have one)
+1 Squatter
+1 Elven Hitman
+4 Beat Cops
+2 Yakuza Assasins
+2 LS Sergeant!
-1 Riot Foam(card slot)
-1 GAQ
-1 LAoTL
+2 Minefields
+1 Ivan
-2 911 (too small a chance to work)
+2 Cowards
-1 NERPS! (i'm no longer a NERPS! fan)


Objectives:
-2 Street Wars
+4 Operation Cotton Mouth
+2 Overseas Interests (make 'em spend money, dont run on these unless you
have a mafia/yakuza deck, and even then it isn't always free)

standard disclaimer:
Looking at the screen, this looks good to me. Shuffling and dealing it may
be different, so take this with a grain of salt.
