Strategies:

The deck is a highly successful sleaze deck. I won't take the time to
break down the levels of skills included, but when coupled with the
magical and matrix support runner teams will walk through a LARGE
number of challenges.

The deck is also fast. I worked to keep the cost of Runners and Gear
fairly low. (Runners: 3 @ 3¥, , 6 @ 4¥, 4 @ 5¥, 5 @ 6¥. No gear costs
over 4¥ and none require additional costs like burst fire.)

The two locations also help to occasionally decrease runner deployment
cost.

The deck packs alot of nu yen denial for opponents (Ice Queens, Sticky
Fingers and Shady Manager), while offering you money (Glitz's, SF and
SM).

I left in some of the ol' Big Bully counter measures from the PE2
backbone, but was able to tone down a little as 1/3 of the Runners are
now dwarven.

The biggest change is from Ancients to Halloweeners with the Gang
HQ's. The strategy here is of course to hinder recycling of Runners
and Challenges. You start with four gangers and three Initiations to
make more.

I included a Wanted for possibly fragging a specific Runner if need be
(i.e. Torgo). However, I didn't want to eat up more Special slots with
Wanteds and Barfights, so I tossed in a multi-use SoC that may give a
chance to re-target another players Wanted or Bar Fight on occasion.

Your Objectives are pretty much the same as PE2. 3 ganger factories.
Two others benefit Gangers in one way or another. Sucker Run to bleed
Challenges. D-Day Device cuz you'll recover faster than Big Bully
decks. Hell House cuz it's fun.

I am looking to trade for a Z-Zone and Runners on Retainer to swap in
as they'll take further advantage of the Halloweeners.

Any other strategy questions...just ask.
