Unstable Ally, Shady Manager, and Poor Craftsmanship.
I know that it has the standard look of a Bully deck, but while finesse
did not work this deck did. My opponent has a habit of using Wanted, Bar
Fight, and pumpable challenges in his deck. None of these worked against
this deck.
My opponent resigned the first game after my gaining only one 25
reputation objective (I have not figured that one out yet).
The second game he pumped up a Lone Star Patrol challenge to 18/18,
only to have me use a Tactics: Converge to make all the damage go to one
runner. The virus tokens from Bio Lab Raid and Genetic Monstrosity kept
his runners weak a good part of the game with the help of Spreading The
Disease.
As stated below, the deck strongly resembles a bully deck (and I guess
that it could very well be), but 12 of the 32 runners are rockers, and I
tried to put in a good number of skills. The major hinderance to my
opponents deck was the virus tokens added to the damage taken from the
challenges. The big runners helped me to be able to deal with my own
objectives if need be (Bio-Lab Raid & Hell House)
If any of you have a deck idea that does well against Bully decks
without using a number of big runners, please let me know. As I said in
my first posting of the deck, 9 of the 14 skills are represented by the
runners in the deck. I consider that to be a decent chance to sleeze
some challenges, and not just a steamroller tactic deck.

Yep, That is 74+12 cards. A little too big for my taste normally
(I prefer 60+8). I figure I might cut it down a little after playing it
once or twice. I look forward to reading the responses to this deck
idea.
