Blinded me with sCIence

I love playing CI. This is the CI variant I used to win a winter 2014 tournament with 10 players. It's not invincible, but it is pretty reliable.

General guide for playing this deck: be patient. Get an ice in front of R&D, then concentrate on building a bankroll and drawing cards. If the runner is building pressure add a second layer of ice, and don't forget to protect archives if you are up against Noise or you think sneakdoor might be in play. You will probably draw through half the deck before you are ready to start scoring. If the runner manages to grab an agenda early it is no reason to panic, especially if it was an NAPD. The first combo to look for is Biotic Labor, Biotic Labor, and score Bioroid Efficiency Research out of hand. Next you'll be looking for install + advance Priority Requisition, then use all of your Efficiency counters to play two shipment from san sans to finish it off. You'll probably have an IQ or Ashigaru that you can rez now. Ideally you'll have Project Vitruvius and a single Biotic to finish the game.

That's the ideal scenario, but there are always exceptions. If the runner isn't playing breakers, call them out. This is especially true against a lot of the current cache-shop Noise decks that don't have an effective breaking solution. A single IQ can provide a safe remote for getting agendas scored. On the other hand, a Shaper deck is going to have the economy to get through a remote, so just leave those ice in hand making it harder for them to find your agendas.

Cards

IQ

It should surprise exactly no one to see this card in the deck, as it has CI written all over it. The goal of the deck is to make runs extremely taxing, and CI does this very well by scaling strength as the game goes on. The runner will need use a Femme or David to effectively deal with it.

Oversight AI

These are a great way to offset that high cost of IQ. You have three of them in the deck, so making one fragile isn't that big of a deal if it means you save your economy.

Ashigaru

Another card that cries out for CI. Putting a ton of subroutines on a barrier is a great way to implement the taxing run strategy. The runner is going to need either Morning Star or a Parasite to effectively deal with it.

Shipment from SanSan

These are critical if you want to use those Efficiency Committee tokens for scoring. While Efficiency Committee bars you, the runner, from directly advancing an agenda, Shipment from SanSan is a cute loophole that lets you get around that.

Questionable Choices

Anarch is so hot right now. Cerebral Static is here in an attempt to shut down Noise nonsense. Being a one-of means you aren't guaranteed to see it early when you need it most. I might consider swapping it out for something that will be effective in every game, but for now my meta demands that I use it. Architect is another questionable choice that I might look at replacing. It is a solid card in it's own right, but it doesn't really provide any synergy with the rest of the deck.
