I thought I'd throw up a deck for scrutinization seeing as how there's
been such little activity on the list lately. I've been using this
amalgamation ganger/rigger deck pretty effectively. It can manifest as
a ganger/big bully deck or a rigger deck depending on the draw which
keeps thing interesting. The stratigic key is the objectives, The
Initiation and Turf War; first turn all your runners into gangers on
the initiation, then send them to fight turf wars to gain +1/+1
experience tokens. I was turning them into Scatterbrains because of the
high number of gear cards in the deck, but found the gear-holding
requirement too risky and frustrating.

One of my favorite combos is playing a Lonestar Undercover on an Ambush,
so this deck has four of those challenges. Nothing like watching
someones own runner decimate their team, inflicting damage first, and
sending any survivors home (assuming they sustained enough damage that
they can no longer overcome the challenge, which is common). Nasty.

I welcome any comments or criticisms, just make sure that you change the
reply address to the list address. I can't keep my personal addy from
overwriting the list addy, it's an e-mail-at-work thang.

I've got more challenges and fewer specials then I've seen most people
use, but it seems that when I use more specials I end up with a handful
and no opportunity to use them. If I'm going to have a handful of
anything, I'd rather it be challenges. At least they're free to play...

Thanks,

Travis
