Maximum Denial

Denial pushed to 11, well as long as Reina's not here. Playing all the tricks to make rezzing really costly.

Rook + Xanadu are amazing, Cortez chip is particularly useful for derezzing then Forged Activation a painful but cheap Ice.

Lots of expose, more often than not, Satellite Uplink is really useful to keep money and crypsis counters from an unnecessary run on remote and at the same time now what's the cost of the ICE on HQ, can enable a free account siphon with Cortez chip the next turn.

Smart players will dump ICEs hosting Rook as soon as possible, but with less Ice in the way and a few Forged Activation Order, this strategy still contribute to stay longer in the early game.

Pretty sure there is some tuning to do, I didn't try Katie yet for exemple, and an earlier Sneakdoor Beta with a second copy can also be devastating with the Shutdowns. Maybe more Same Old Things too but space is scarce.

And by all means, mulligan for a rook, without it early you play a basic crypsis only deck without Gabe economic power to sustain
