Viral Blackmail v3

dupl3x 50

So here's the newest version of my Viral Blackmail ridiculousness (v1 here: http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/4680/viral-blackmail). This one works very similarly to the first version, but swaps out some cards for a slightly different feel.

3x Diesel instead of 3x Lawyer Up. I think the free card draw is way nicer than the tag removal. The reality is, this deck will float tags once Activist Support hits the table and Lawyer Up's tag removal isn't really of value.

3x NACH instead of 3x Decoy. Decoys are nice in that once they hit the table, they do their job for free, but only once. NACH is nice because you can keep it there as long as you need it and can pay for it. This can be hand to stave off Activist Support tags while you're setting up for the big virus dig but have a Joshua B. or SoT on the table that you don't want trashed.

On a thematic note, I wish Hostage was more useful in this deck. Decoy was a Connection but I didn't have the influence to use 3 of them with 3 Hostage too. The idea of taking hostages and blackmailing people seems like a fun way to play Netrunner. Perhaps there's a Criminal deck that can accomplish it...
