Blackgabe

Emergency shutdown and crescentuses. The idea of black guard is to force the corp to spend their dollars rezzing ice and not advancing agendas. You need more denial.

I like Kati Jones over Mr. Li in a Blackguard strat...but then again, I also use Diesels in my setup, heh. Cool concept though...I'd love to know how this pans out for ya.

@x3r0h0ur - What would you take out to fit in those cards? I had Emergency Shutdown in, but took it out due to it's conditional (have to get into HQ)

-2 infiltration +2 eshutdown. I'll be honest and say I also don't think planned assault is quite that good here, since all you want to get with it is siphon (you should naturally draw the other events quick enough IMO), and that makes it so you can't float tags, sacrificing your li and SoTs. So then -2 PA +1 more Eshutdown +1legwork/+1inside job maybe?

My point is, snitch is basically all the expose you really need in your average blackguard deck, especially if you're getting shutdowns off effectively. I'm not quite sure where you'd fit crescentus in unless you swapped to overmind for the entire breaker suite, and then ran E3 (helps with HB too).

Overmind ensures you stick siphons early too. In that case i'd do -2 corroder -1 crypsis -2 ninja -2 zu +3 overmind +2 indexing or 3 TME...crescentus still doesn't fit because it becomes tough because overmind is pretty expensive, thats why I didn't suggest that route first....

Definitely on the shutdown though.
