No room for Scheherazade ? What made you choose the Hunting Grounds over it if you don't mind my asking?

@Cliquil Scheherazade is a cool card and I can definately see all the sinergies inherent on its inclusion in this list. However, I cannot stresss enough how much work Hunting Grounds does! First it completely counters back Tollbooth, Data Raven, Komainu, Turnpike, Pop-up Window, just to name a few. And secondly, albeit being a more niche use of the card, it can install facedown cards to feed Aesop's. But, back on its most important function, the liberty it gives you to just walk up to those ICE and laugh at them, while you break (or just go over) is amazing. In a sense it fills the space that Femme Fatale would fill, but being marginally good with other ICEs that you wouldn't spend the Femme on. Also 2 credit is very low cost to install with another resource. Back on Scheherazade, Technical Writer fills a similar role that Scheherazade would fill, so it seemed redundant and unecessary to include Scheherazade, thus also saving up some more influence points. Ultimately, I rather have the Hunting Grounds because it enables more plays than Scheherazade.

Thanks for the good answer!

@Cliquil also Scheherazade, having to host cards, makes it a SERIOUS target for Power Shutdown and takes out everything with it.

@Beta-Max Altough Harbinger can protect Scheherazade, I still don't think it's necessary to run her for reasons stated above. But you struck a fair point, indeed. Having to have Harbinger lying around just to protect her is not really appealing. Check the link on the description for the Tournament Report :)
