Streaking Andromeda

This is one of the first decks I've put together and it's a little all over, but I basically wanted to put together a rush deck which gets you to the fun business of leaping face-first into ice nice and quick. While trialling it, someone on OCTGN described my playstyle as 'like an Anarch on crack', which I'm pretty happy with even if I did totally lose that match, haha.

Basically, the plan is to get Darwin up and Surged ASAP then start facechecking hard. Crypsis is for cheap ice, Darwin for expensive, Surge is to get them back into the game when the corp inevitably virus clears. Mimic and Inti are in there as a result of early tests - without them, this deck can be very weak against Swordsman and Wraparound. Pull them out with Special Order as necessary.

I'm a big fan of heavy HQ pressure, because too many corps try to hide stuff in there. This deck is pretty disinterested in remotes except for when strictly necessary. I love deploying sneakdoor on the first click of a turn when they have a full HQ and then running three times in a row - it's a ridiculous play, but it sometimes pays off and it definitely keeps them on their toes.

Dirty Laundry, Siphon and Sure Gamble are your primary economy, with daily casts as a backup for longer games - hence Networking and Lawyer Up to get rid of tags to keep those casts going. The one Blackmail is pretty much just a surprise card to screw with BP-happy corps who have made beautiful, elaborate, unrezzed ice towers which you haven't touched yet.

I'm still fairly new to the game, but definitely looking for feedback, advice, and a wider audience for my terrible ideas and ridiculous playstyle. :)
