Supplier Iain

This is a Supplier-powered Iain deck I've been playing and tweaking for a couple of weeks. It's still needs lots more work, but it does quite well against slower decks and Inside Job and Bank Job give it a fighting chance against faster ones.

Good opening hands are generally those that have The Supplier and some econ or Earthrise Hotel. Hostage is here mostly so that you have a better chance of getting out a Supplier earlier.

Even though you're Iain you still want to run early and try to take agendas. But being Iain means that when you're not sure if something is an agenda or a trap it can sometimes make sense to just let the corp score it, the extra credits help you get set up a lot faster. This is doubly true if you have a Logos out and can also take the opportunity to find a missing tool.

Specific cards:

• If your opponent is playing a slower game, getting Rachel Beckman out early is extremely powerful, she's another Hostage target.
• Scrubber is very helpful against resource-heavy decks and can also be tutored with Hostage.
• Public Sympathy + Logos lets you have 8 cards in hand, which lets you survive a double scorch, ignore brain damage from big ice and Cerebral Overwriter, and safely use your interfaces even against Jinteki.
• Sneakdoor Beta is a great thing to drop mid-game, especially if you have an HQ Interface out also. If you haven't lost by mid-game you're probably threatening enough that they can't easily score in a remote, so very often agendas start building up in the corp's hand.
