[STANDARD] Where's your precious Paperclip NOW?!

Mancini 62

I'm sure that many of y'all on Jnet know me for playing various flavors of rig shooter. Well...here's another. This is probably my most successful yet, because of how versatile the ID is for stuffing high value run events like Diversion of Funds and Chastushka. Always mulligan for econ and any non-Chiyashi ice. The ideal first turn is: Hedge Fund, ice HQ, ice R&D. The good thing about Ag is that you can afford to play expensive ice since once you have one rezzed, every unrezzed piece of ice practically becomes that ice.

Another good thing about that? Once you Trojan Horse and/or Ark Lockdown a specific type of breaker (let's say...Paperclip), you can repeatedly bounce the runner into the corresponding type of ice until they concede.

Big Deal is an excellent game closer, especially with a 5/3 agenda suite. Signal Jamming is because Chiyashi kills are funny.

This deck works decently well vs Esa, which just so happens to be my arch-nemesis on Jnet (I don't know why, but I CAN'T STAND Esa). The ice suite is good vs the bin breakers with the exception of Chiyashi v. Paperclip. Mavirus stuffs any Botulus shenanigans. Esa players tend to chuck all their bin breaker copies into the heap, which makes for the most satisfying Ark Lockdowns in existence. Worst comes to worst, your servers are still glacial enough to tax the runner out while you get enough money to Big deal your final agenda. It's sometimes worth keeping your Subliminal Messaging in hand so that you can discard it to sabotage.
