Reina Chess Tax 1.11

ncaron 111

This is a variant of a Reina deck I played a while ago.

Reina's ability combined with rook and xanadu are pretty taxing on the corp. Parasites and caissa's mean that a lot of ice gets trashed thinning the defenses of the corp.

Keyhole puts a lot of pressure on R&D and if they leave HQ lightly defended, you coumpound the taxing nature of this deck by shutdowning their defenses. Cyber Threat synergises really well with emergency shutdown and keyhole! The corp HAS to rez defenses on R&D or you just keyhole them all day, then if you cyber threat HQ, they are forced to waste precious credits to defend that server or be vulnerable to emergency shutdowns.

The deck is pretty draw intensive so professional contacts helps a lot to generate some economy while you search for your pieces.

This decks can be vulnerable to have a lot of its caissa trashed so I am tempted to add a 3rd pawn even though it brings the deck up to 46 cards.

Thinking of replacing the 2 professional contacts with 2 quality time and Yog with a Gordian Blade. Seems there are more nasty code gates around than when I first played the original version of this deck.

I am also thinking that burst draw of quality time might be better than the slow draw + econ of professional contact.
