Want to feel like a con man? Want to pull a last hustle? Want to speak with you eyes and say "I dare you!"? Here is an ode to shell games and bluff, the ultimate cup and ball trick.
Game plan : put EVERYTHING with a counter on the board, even Rashida Jaheem and dare the runner to make the wrong choice.
Mulligan plan : Hedge Fund, ices or Mitosis in hand.
You put everything (except Spin Doctor) on the board with a counter. This is important, because the goal is to push the runner to make the mistake of running the wrong thing.
This is why Cerebral Overwriter is privileged over Clearinghouse, because every core damage makes the game plan easier. Cerebral Overwriter is an important win condition.
With Mitosis and Business As Usual, you can easily put 2 cards on the board with 3 advancements each. It is ok to leave an agenda with 3 advancements cooking on the board.
With Reaper Function, Fujii Asset Retrieval, Sting! and Clearinghouse, there is a lot of ways to flatline the runner., as long as we can get them low enough in cards.
On the ice side, Diviner is just a gear check. Tithe is very annoying for the cost and Anansi is there to have a game against Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga and Mercury: Chrome Libertador.
The most fun card is Kakurenbo. This will keep the runner guessing a lot! What was brought back? It could be a Spin Doctor or it could be Clearinghouse, but what if it is a Cerebral Overwriter?
This is top tier jank, even if only tier 2 on the competitive. But I promise it will be a lot of fun... for one of the player haha!
Cheers!

Also, note that using the ID to put the asset on the board with an advance means that we cannot rez and use it on the runner's turn. Often, the Rashida Jaheem that I've put on the board with an advance, would need an extra turn to be used. Does this answer your question? Cheers! |

My lack of expert is showing because I hadn't noticed the ID says you have to wait a turn; which makes it quite a bit more awkward! |
Diogene! Love it! Have you tried Charlotte in here for the econ? Seems similar to NGO in being able to take advantage of the ID and being trash-safe
