The worst eHarmony date ever. A date with Whizzard means you're probably going to be broke because he'll make you pay for everything and he always has that awkward third wheel in Josh B so the date lasts so much longer.

New Angeles City Hall is a pretty romantic date spot though.

Took this to tournament last weekend and it went 3-1(one game was a rematch while we had extra time), losing to the champion in the final match (Shout out to Zaq! Read his full tourney breakdown here: http://boardgamegeek.com/article/15210836#15210836).

Big time meta-call with this deck. I felt like there would be a lot of San Sans and Jackson Howard so I would get a lot of mileage out of the identity...I was right! I trashed so many San San's and forced Jackson to leave the game multiple times. Keyhole was the finishing touch on all three wins that day, the loss came to a very good NBN scorch deck.

Run and trash their stuff with Imp + Whiz ID. There are a lot of good combo pieces these days that you will see and want to Imp. This deck perhaps needs more draw pieces to get to plascrete when you expect a scorch is coming...that's how I lost, couldn't get to plascrete before the double scorch. NACH saved my bacon multiple times...so it's important. Josh is in here to give you an extra Keyhole if you need it, but I never needed him in the tourney...might be an expendable piece in the future.

This deck is a slight variation of JDalart's excellent Whizzard deck.

No nerve agent? NA makes imp so much more effective at combo killing!

Dang @x3rhour, quit giving away my deck for this week's tourney ;)

My poor Jackson's and San San's :(

I feel like a lot of people ask you this question:

do you ever feel like you don't have enough MU for everything? I mean... with 3 ice breakers out, you only have 1 slot until you get to your grimoire. Are you using the quality time to get to grimoire faster? Also key hole taking up 2 mu means that you only have more GB of ram left for 1 specific virus.

I'm curious... maybe I play it wrong but I'm always paranoid and feel like I need datasucker and the other 3 ice breakers out all the time.

1 more GB left* :P

No you don't want more memory because eventually you're going to want to trash your imps to use them again...can't do that unless you hit your MU limit. Early game you're playing with Sucker, Imp, maybe Knight and Corroder. Late game you make a decision based on the board...Keyhole is for early game pwnage or late game finisher. So you shouldn't have it on the board for long and should trash it mid-game if you need the full breaker suite +parasites/imp. MU is never a problem, 6 is plenty and you'll have that late game.

Playing against this type of deck I would recommend fitting Daily Casts in somewhere. I think since a lot of your money comes in clicks, it would help if you had that drip in and therefore save the actions for something more important. I can only back this up by saying it's a personal preference over clicking for money.

@ Heartthrob - You can actually overwrite any program when you install a new program, even if you are not at your MU limit! So, if you have an empty Imp as your only program, you can overwrite it when you install your Keyhole! :)

Horrible, horrible card - forces you to care about tags, becomes dead if you're buried under them. I'd rather have a third Armitage :)

Akamatsu Memory Chip or Dyson IN, Quality on OFF, imo.

I'm not a fan of daily casts either, the tempo hit of 3 for the tiny trickle isn't as good as credits on demand like armitage. Especially when you won't need more than 4-6 at a time. Daily casts is more for atman or rig builders who supplement magnum opus IMO.

"The Runner can choose to trash any number of his installed programs at the beginning of an install program action." (p. 15, under "Installing Cards")

Tried this deck out yesterday, but will have to give it some more time before deciding if it needs more memory or not.

I have actually tried Daily Casts in place of Liberated (a suggestion from @AkAnderson and @Maddcow) and it was much better that way. I was surprised at how much more I liked it. That 6-cred needed to get liberated off was a problem in a few games...daily allows you to play it and set up some of your viruses for the next turn.

It hasn't had memory issues, but it has had tutoring issues which have been remedied in v 2.0...I will publish that soon.

Time for the v2.0 maybe? I'm really loving this one.
