A flatline deck using Weyland's innate meat damage specialty. Instead of relying on the usual burst damage and card combo method like SEA Source and Scorched Earth, this has a constant, persistent amount of meat damage that will overwhelm the player the longer it's there.

The main strategy is to ice up hard on HQ, have a healthy amount of protection on one remote and archives, then have as many Dedicated Response Team + Off the Grid servers as possible. A good mix of barriers and observers to make sure the runner stays out while being tagged. Ichi 1.0, Wraparound, and Swordsman are there to mess with the runner's rig and stall them.

The low amount of agendas keeps the runner running, which you want them to do so DRT triggers. Their higher points lets you have a viable chance of a Punitive Counterstrike killing or severely setting back the runner. It is also still feasible to win by scoring agendas, and if you can get both The Cleaners and Private Security Force, you can easily take out Plascrete Carapaces and flatline a runner that doesn't have larger handsizes than default.

Economy is burst-based and should be protected by thick ice on HQ and benefits from the ID power. There's no bad publicity in the deck and there's no forfieting of agendas, so you can be pretty straightfoward in just getting money, laying down ice and assets, and killing the runner when the opportunity comes up.

Powergrid Overload might be nice here based on my experiences. Maybe even just a 1 or 2-of. It's already pretty ice heavy so you could cut maybe 1 enigma.

DRT will chip away at plascrete if the runner drops them but with powergrid overload and weyland's $ you can destroy their safety mechanism pretty easily if necessary.

That's a super good suggestion, thanks!
