Nasir - Taichi Master

“Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup, you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle, you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.” Bruce Lee

Nasir requires a very different approach to running than anything we've seen thus far. Instead of building to mitigate his weaknesses, let's instead build to capitalize upon his strengths.

Like water, Nasir redirects the brute force and strength of the corporation back upon them. As even the heaviest of glaciers can not exert a force great enough to displace the ocean, Nasir will be able to withstand any piece of ICE, no matter how great.

Just as a Taiqi master will never let their opponent gain firm footing, we must never let the corp establish permanent servers. ICE must be destroyed upon rez immediately. Between Personal Workshop, SMC, and Clone Chips, we should have a steady supply of Parasites on demand. Between Datasuckers and a triple touched Wyrm, it will be very easy to destroy any ICE that we encounter as soon as it is rezzed.

Atman provides a backup plan with Crescentus to derez anything in case it is missed the first time around. One should be set to 4 to counter Lotus Field. Kati should show up to join the party as well, providing an emergency wad of cash when the need inevitably arises. Chakana has a home in this deck to slow down FA shenanigans.
