Runner Strategy

Yeah, I know, a speed Corp will probably stomp you, but who gives a damn! This deck is so much fun to play, I don't mind losing. (Good thing with a 50-50 record!)

There are lots of risks involved in this deck (and notice, no Force Shields or revealer cards!) and lots of luck is a plus. Getting the virus combination to work is very cool! Corp don't usually want to waste actions to prevent something that isn't actually happening "to them", but rather helps you indirectly. On top of that, the Corp must protect the Archives. Ha ha ha.

If all goes well, you will have a nice income at the beginning of every single turn, thus avoiding financial difficulties. Of course, if the budget runs thin, you could always take that hit of Lucidrine you hid in the bedroom...

Maybe we could ask the aliens I've occasionally seen running around the Net. I tried, but they wouldn't talk to me. So instead I ordered myself twelve dozen pizzas from Pizzajet and billed it to the Democratic Committee on Multiculturalism.
