Valley of the Shadow of Death

tuism 310

Get some jank on!

The idea: Valley Grid + binary ICE that the runner must break to make a deathtrap server. It could be the scoring remote, or your archives, or R&D, or whatever.

Tech Startup fetches Hiro to kill if the runner ever ends with one card with Tech startup on the table.

Fenris to help the process along, though people are scared enough of Cortex Lock to not run recklessly, so this may or may not work.

Chairman Hiro won't kill on your turn as you're suggesting. The runner looses at the end of his turn if he has 0 cards in hand because of maximum hand size. Playing him via Tech Startup will lower his maximum hand size below 0, but he won't need to discard until the end his next turn.

Ah fudge. The problem isn't that he won't need to discard till the end of his next turn, it's that Valley Grid only lasts till the end of the runner's previous turn.

Back to the drawing board then :/

Chairman Hiro is still a tempting target once out, and Valley Grid isn't limited, so even if the runner goes after Hiro, failing or hitting Valley Grids will be costly
