~!~!~!~!~!
First and foremost, this deck is made to snag a couple of Objectives up front
and then stall your opponent while you hit Fuchi a few times and seal the deed.
It's built as a sleaze deck (Runners w/ skills, Matrix programs, Duncan) but
can pack a whallop when you just need to hammer through.
This deck possesses five counts of Recon and 16 points of Decking (18 if you
Nerps a Fuchi Cyber-6).
16-18 points of Decking and two Fuchi's... 'nuff said. ;o)
Nu yen denial for opponents between Shady Manager, IQ and Sticky Fingers
(Nerps can mean mean two SF's depending on how you want it).
This deck does NOT rely on fame for nu yen. An opponent's Shady Mgr on you is
a waste. Fuchi and StPtB very early on mean you can draw to seven on your turn
and still get an income.
The Rugers and Cyber-6 often are freebies with Mole or Kracker Jack on the
table.
Metahuman Predjudice can keep a Bully from hitting the table for a while, or
keep some necessary skills from coming out via a metahuman runner.
I've just learned to love Better Offer. Drake has found himself working long
stints for me on a couple of occassions. Plus it can keep a Cherry Bomb from
taking out Fuchi if she finds herself an employee.
Poor Craftsmanship gets rid of cyberdecks when you want to Blackhammer an
opponent or strips them of their own BH. It also is useful in taming the
Bully's by knocking off their weapon's or cyberware. (Plus you can nuke the
pesky Maglock passkey.)
Objectives are purposely low-rep to make Saeder Krupp more effective. Your
opponent, especially Bully players can't make use of those tailored Objectives
if they're not on the table to take.
Roboplant, Shadowplay, and Cottonmouth can buff up your Electrical Challenges,
making Renraku's ability all the better.
Crime Wave can't hurt you, you don't have any LS Challenges. Plus it makes
Louie even tougher.
Renraku can still make Cake Walk something to be reckoned with.
