Pretty simple idea. Score an early Nisei MK II or False lead with chimera/bastion. Put out Pad Campaigns, Sundews, JH, Snares and Ruhr valley but don't rez until you have a lot of cards out. This is a good way to sneak out a braintrust. Snares often discourages nosy runners to check every card you put out, most of the time they don't risk checking every asset after hitting one. Junebug & Thomas for making wealthy runners spend credits on two (Central+Remote) taxing runs in vain (especially nice if put in rezzed Ruhr-server).

When the time comes throw down and double advance an Executive Retreat in a server with Ruhr. Forfeiting false lead after they run a central = 1 click left, not enough to run your remote. If you have a Nisei and they run your Ruhr-remote, end the run when they've gone through all ice = 1 click left, they can't run it again. A totally safe 3-pointer! Best when ending the game since runners tend to forget to do the math/about the Nisei counter when they're excited. Extremely satisfying when runners realize they were shut out from beginning and just wasted their turn on nothing ;)

Had thoughts about putting Strongbox in but realized that it doesn't work very well with the Executive end game scoring part of the strategy so took it out and put in some vipers and anti-tag float instead.
