First attempt at a criminal deck

Tzeenek 2

My first attempt at a criminal deck for an upcoming store championship, i'm happy with the majority of the deck but not sure about the icebreakers.

Any advice or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Ken is the runner I play the most.I never find myself in a situation when a levy would help much.. Ken can make lots of money in game (My Ken makes 60-80 credits) on an average game and get at least 5-7 agendas on average.. so you shouldn't really need levy because by then good chance you've already/nearly won or you wont get new cards fast enough as Criminal have poor draw power.

I tend to use a combination of other breakers instead of running mostly criminal, I like Corroder and Gordian Blade for barrier and codegate. If you have the bird sentry breaker (golden I think)works better in most cases then Peacock/ I also include Mimic and datasuckers since theres a good chance of running centrals a lot.

I also like using Desperado over Forger just for that credit gain on runs, helps heaps. Since you are only running 2 decoy and only 1 forger will still leave you with a tag from HHN but with a slow draw power you might find that you wont get them all out still getting hit with tags, consider crash space instead to deal with tags

I'd scrap Infiltration for easy mark as thats 3credits and as a criminal (Ken anyway) I find that its better just running and facing consequences like a criminal would. Grappiling hook is good for saving you some damage against bad ice..

Also consider running early bird for that 'free click' to gain credits from security testing + desperado

I have an older version of my Ken published (Core+3boxes(not data destiny+data pack with plascrete) if you wanna look at that to see how I run breakers and some other cards.

@martinimon Thanks for the advice, that's been really helpful. I'm going to try and implement as many if not all of those suggestions and see how it goes.
