Argus Security: Vanity Takeover

Agendas: The idea behind this deck is having few, high value agendas and using Punitive Counterstrike to punish any agenda stolen, possibly flatlining the runner. I wouldn't usually try to score any agendas, but if forced, I'd try to score Utopia Fragment first and any other agenda installed with Casting Call after that. Except for Hades Fragment & Utopia Fragment, any two agendas scored win the game.

Assets: Get your agendas to safety with Jackson Howard and PAD Campaigns for some trickle econ.

Upgrades: Crisium Grids protect your R&D and HQ from multiple card access, for a while, and stops Gabriel Santiago from getting any money. The Research Stations allow you to hold so many more punitive cards in your hand and also further decrease the chance of the runner accessing an agenda.

Operations: Housekeeping offers a synergy with the punishing nature of this deck. Snatch and Grab against those new Film Critics that spoil the fun of Punitive Counterstrike or alternately open up a killing window for Scorched Earth.

Ice: I think Data Raven will synergise well with Casting Call, forcing the runner to grab three tags, which they, probably, will no be able to shake off in their turn. Alternatively this offers you the opportunity to actually score an agenda. The other ice I'd use to 'close' my remotes and try to keep the runner ouf of trashing the PAD Campaigns.

Some thoughts: I'm not sure about dropping a Punitive Counterstrike and Scorched each to include two Beanstalk Royalties. Economy shouldn't really be a problem with PAD Campaigns, Hedge Funds and even clicking for credits, though. There's not much money spending going on here, since there's little to none advancing or doing other fancy stuff. The Research Stations and Jackson Howard allow to to keep drawing and ultimately discarding cards without hurting too much.

What are you thoughts? Any insight is much appreciated. Cheers.
