Starter deck: Neel's festering mess

A starter deck for a friend who only has O&C and Core.

This is going to be a little difficult to play, but should be fun.

You have a ton of virus' and your ID ability makes these particularly difficult to deal with. You want to get Datasuckers out quick, if possible (either by drawing them, or by getting them via Djinn). These combo with Parasites to enable you to destroy a bunch of ice! The Datasuckers should also help you with lowering ice's strength to the strength of your breakers that unfortunately cannot be "pumped".

Ice Breakers. You only have a single copy of each of your breakers, so you will probably need to use the Special Orders to grab them when you need them. Hope you don't lose them, or else it's frown town.

Economy. You should have a decent economy, but the Cyberfeeders are important to help you play your viruses and to help pay for runs. You can always Déjà Vu a Day Job if you're in a pinch. The Armitage Codebustings should help you out as well.

A good win condition is a Medium with a few counters on it (perhaps from Virus Breeding Ground ground), and consistent runs on R&D.

Don't die. I've Had Worse is your meat damage protection, so you don't want to play it if you're playing against damage (unless you have a few in hand).
