This deck was designed out of extra cards for visting friends that wanted to
play but didn't have or bring a deck of their own.

It should be an easy deck for anyone to construct. Of the 76 cards (including
Objectives), all are Commons except for 10 Uncommons thrown in for color. The
deck has held its own against Rare infested decks fairly well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strategies
The deck is heavy on cash cows (Glitz, Kromagnusm, Ceska and Ragnarock bonus).
Your pumpable Challenges can become formidable in game play. The extra nu yen
also lets Bounty Hunter spring on an opponents Runners pretty much at whim.
Maglocks, Gut Check and GAQS help give Bounty Hunter a chance to do his thing.

Two Crawler drones and Corp Secretary provide Recon.

Two silencers offer chances to reset triggered alarms.

Robo-Plant Revolt plays off of the Electrical Challenges, and Shadowplay has a
chance of making them beefier as well.

Likewise Shadowplay and Operation Cottonmouth provide an opportunity to get an
extra squeeze when pumping up the Yak Attack.
