Baby's First Scorch Deck

too many positional ice

Just to expand a little on @x3r0h0ur's comment, I think that Cell Portal and Chum will be difficult to place at optimal positions (respectively at the root of a server and after another ICE). Besides, as you only have 14 ices, with 4 of them being CHum and Cell Portal, your servers will be really porous (which is not always a bad thing if you are trying to scorch.

A few other thoughts:

• False Lead is usually good in this kind of deck (if they can hit a snare click 2, you can make the tag stick). It also works with Data Raven.

• Corporate Troubleshooter is usually played with a destroyer ice (like Archer). I'm curious as to why you would put that here.

• Data Raven coupled with Chum is a good combo ;)

• If you can find the room for Mushin No Shin, I would remove the corporate troubleshooter to add a Ghost Branch or even a Aggressive Negotiation. A mushined ghost branch in RP means that the tag will stick. A mushined agenda means that you'll be able to score it next turn and trigger Aggressive negociation, so that you can get your missing Scorch/Sea Source.

• I would remove a Shi.Kyū to add another PAD Campaign. It' hard to have too much money when you want to trigger traces.

• depending on your meta, I would remove a Zaibatsu Loyalty to add a PAD Campaign (see above).

• Remember: the most succesful Scorch decks actually try to score points to pressure the runner into making mistakes (see the Supermodernism deck description). You want to get the runner into a lose-lose situation.

Good luck on your first Urban Planning project!

Thanks @x3r0h0ur, @Bananifier I really appreciate the feedback I've only been playing with a friend of mine and this was fairly successful to the point that he asked me to stop playing Jinteki, so I've un-sleeved the cards... but I cant wait to come back to this deck soon!

First off I'd like to point out that when I made this deck I only had the core set and honour & Profit.

1. Why Corporate Troubleshooter - I chose to add it in in the case that I could boost the strength of a piece of ice an stop the runner from taking an Agenda and to use up my last influence.
2. As I was looking through my cards for my new deck I wondered why I hadn't included Aggressive Negotiation and/or Mushin No Shin
3. Good call on Shi.Kyū but Mental Health Clinic seemed to be enough as the runner never trashes them for that sweet hand increase.

Again thanks for the critique @Bananifier I'd love it if you could have a look at my new deck.
