Tag punishment, NBN style ;)

Don't you think you should include some tagging? No player in their right mind would get tagged by data raven. I would run at least sea source, but more likely midseasons.

The meta currently, in my area of influence, consists mostly of "tag me" decks. Data Raven is not there to necessarily tag the runner, its very costly ice, in my opinion, especially good 4 centrals. As you might have noticed, the tag punishment is not overabundant, consisting of 4 cards. It is there 4 the cocky "tag me" runner or the unlucky one to get caught by DR. In all other aspects this is a taxing type of deck with sansan+ash and the astrotrain.

@mephi Your response to x3r0h0ur doesn't make a lot of sense. You say that your meta consists primarily of Tag Me runners. You then go on to say that Data Raven is costly and good for centrals. But against a Tag Me runner, the card might as well be blank.

Also, If you are going to be devoting 4 slots to tag punishment, it would be a good idea to add in a way of reliably landing a tag on the runner instead of having those 4 cards be essentially dead draws when you go up against a runner that doesn't float tags. This is especially true for NBN since they have so many ways of landing a tag in faction.
