>The Ancients (85/8)


Too big. Go down to 70/6

>Runners (18)
>4 x Viper
>4 x Redline
>2 x Tinkerbell
>1 x Loki
>1 x Foxy Roxy
>2 x Glitz
>2 x Orion
>2 x Red Widow


You need more Runners. Try adding Fame, it will greatly improve your deck.
Replace the Orions with better mages, perhaps Highbrow and/or Tempest.

>Gear (28)
>4 x Yamaha Rapier
>4 x Harley Scorpion
>1 x NERPS!
>4 x Fixed Fire Cannons
>2 x Robo Doc
>2 x Switchblade
>2 x Katana
>2 x Fireball
>3 x Hand Razors
>2 x Muscle Replacement
>2 x Dermal Plating


Way too many. Take out the Robo Docs (Add a Hawkwind) the Switchblades, the
Katanas and the Hand Razors (You have little Melee), and the Fireballs,
which should be replaced with Sleep and/or invisibility.

>Locations (4)
>1 x Ares Macrotechnology
>2 x Tir Taingire
>1 x Club Vortex

Good, except for the Ares Macrotechnology.

>Contacts (4)
>1 x Elven Hitman
>1 x Media Chick
>2 x Ganger Leader


Ditch the Ganger Leaders, they will harm as often as help.

>Specials/Stingers (11)
>3 x Ancients
>1 x Halloweeners
>3 x Luck of the Irish
>2 x Déjà vu
>2 x Leader of the Pack


Why the Halloweeners? Ancients is more than enough.

>Challenges (20)
>4 x Ancient’s Turf
>4 x Halloweener Hell
>2 x Scatterbrain Raid
>2 x Steppin Wulf Ambush
>4 x Razorhead Turf
>2 x The Funhouse
>2 x Yak Attack

Woa woa, spread your challenges out a little more. In my deck I only have
one double for challenges. A greater breadth allows you to get sleazed past
far less often, and please, cut down on Ancients Turfs, they pale in
comparison to the mighty Halloweened Hell.

>Objectives (8)
>2 x Gang War
>1 x Turf War*
>1 x Crime Wave*
>3 x Initiation
>1 x Street War*


Add another Initiation, and cut the Crime Wave.
