A deck I built for casual play with a friend using only cards from System Gateway and Elevation. This is pretty much my first attempt at building my own deck from scratch, so I expect it to be flawed.

The main game plan is to punish the runner at every opportunity. Trash their installed cards if they don't respect the tags, flatline them if they don't draw back up to full, and score your agendas if they don't run your remotes. You get to choose whether or not you want to install your agendas face-up, which introduces an additional mind game to capitalize on with the advancable assets.

This looks pretty punishing! Thanks for sharing

Why Manegarm and bot Byte? feels like you could splash the influence for another net dmg and tagging card.

@Lazer Sea Horse thanks for your input. I didn't expect anyone to leave a comment on a random deck that doesn't even make use of the full card pool.

The idea behind Manegarm is to deny the runner the ability to recover after making a run on the remote. They will be left with a single click which hopefully is not enough to draw back up and remove the tag - something needs to stick.

I heavily considered Byte though. I may swap out Semak-samun for Kessleroid and change the number of Urticas and Retributions to free up some space and Influence. But at the same time, I am also concerned about not having enough econ. I will have to get in some games to get a better grip on where the deck stands.

What I forgot to mention: If they decide to pay for Manegarm using credits, it just makes it more difficult for the runner to avoid the Measures Response that will surely follow - especially if they also want to trash the Manegarm (and a potential Clearinghouse).
