Every Door is the Front Door (8th place at Sunrise)

When I saw that my previous favorite Runner deck only used 2 FFG cards total, I knew what my first deck of Elevation would have to be. Losing Divide and Conquer hurts this strategy a lot, but with Devadatta Drone replacing eXer and a powerful new economic resource in Rent Rioters, this deck is better than ever.

The other big change from the previous iteration is the inclusion of Beatriz Friere Gonzalez. It makes the influence tight, but she allows me to attack R&D through all three servers, making it much easier to pivot to where the Corp is weakest. I've cut most of the breaking tools, relying practically entirely on Mayfly to get me where I want to go. Currently, Privileged Access is my tool to get them back, as well as install any key resources that may have been milled or trashed, but I want to experiment with Scrounge as an alternative recursion tool.

I've learned a lot about piloting this type of deck through the many versions of it I've built and played, and the biggest takeaway is patience. It's easy to get into a position where you have 3 multiaccess and a Mayfly prepared, but if you go too early, you risk whiffing on a larger R&D. It's usually best to wait to strike until the mid to late game, when you have more multiaccess and R&D is thinner. Plus, the longer you have the Mayfly out, the more you can force the Corp to preemptively protect their remote, even if you never plan on running it.
