Summary

Use grip size as a resource for core damage. Take core damage to sabotage the Corp and draw more cards using Esâ Afontov: Eco-Insurrectionist's ability. Maintain 7+ cards in hand to avoid BOOM!. Mitigate PE's net damage threats.

Main Engine

Obelus - Increase our grip size. Minor source of card drip.

God of War - Generate tags and feed them to Obelus to indefinitely increase grip size.

All core damage cards (Running Hot, Ghosttongue, Light the Fire!, Begemot) - Self-inflict core damage up to seven times, for a total of 14 sabotaged cards and 7 cards drawn.

Economy

Since we are floating tags, resource-based economy is a bit dangerous. So our economy is generated via events.

Ghosttongue - Improves the efficiency of our event-based economy.

Creative Commission - Free to play with Ghosttongue installed. Gain five credits from a zero credit bank with one click.

Dirty Laundry - Run Archives to see sabotaged cards. If the Corp isn't protecting R&D, run it and get card draw from Obelus.

Hot Pursuit - Eight credit gain with Ghosttongue installed. Increase grip size with the tag and draw a card with Obelus.

Wildcat Strike - Can't go wrong, especially at a reduced cost and larger grip size.

Sure Gamble - Of course.

Win Conditions

There are three. Mill out the Corp, "Deep Dive" with Counter Surveillance, or score enough Agendas from Archives using Sabotage.

Chastushka - Very painful. Accelerates mill and trashes combo pieces. Telegraphed with Esâ Afontov: Eco-Insurrectionist. The Corp will ice HQ.

Counter Surveillance - We'll have a lot of tags. Very easy to see deep into R&D, or access all of a sabotage-filtered HQ.

Support Card Selection

Light the Fire! - In addition to core damage, it will kill Spin Doctor, NGO Front, Jinteki traps, heavily upgraded remotes, et cetera.

Buffer Drive - Core damage trashes a random card from our grip. This regularly upends plans because heap retrieval comes at a premium. Put those valuable cards back in our stack.

T400 Memory Diamond - We are using memory-heavy cards like Stargate, Begemot, and three Botulus'. We may also find ourselves in a tight spot without Obelus and need the extra grip size to dodge BOOM!.

Harmony AR Therapy - Bring back core damage cards to commit more sabotage.

Steelskin Scarring - Pray that core damage hits this card. With Ghosttongue, it's an objectively better Diesel without having to pay influence costs.

Leech - Make God of War a usable icebreaker.

Botulus - Ensure HQ is always runnable.

Stargate - Punish the Corp for not protecting R&D.
