Reina Virus

A basic ice destruction Reina deck. You could probably do an easy swap to Noise, however I feel this ID works better for the deck. The issue of this deck faces is being poor. The flip side of that though is if you have 6-10 creds you functionally “rich.” The best way to fix your money woes it to get Sahasrara installed early as you’ll be spending a lot of money on installs. Because the deck is so poor it doesn’t pay to break ice with its breakers often, so using them should be very strategic.

If I could find the room I’d add more breakers and cyberfeeder, but everything I’ve tried to do that I’ve found its better just to switch to a fixed breaker chess deck, which I also sometime run.

I really like this, plays a lot like the Reina deck I am trying to put together. Only thing is, I think Xanadu should also go in here. Maybe take out the Katis, and put in two Xanadus and a third Liberated Account?

Save yourself a bunch of clicks and MU and just drop rook, and put in Xanadu, its a static +1 and if you're aggressive its enough. You should be using knight in place of corroder, not yog.

You make a compelling case for Xanadu enough that I think I'll make the change and take it for a spin just to see. In this deck though I originally went with Xanadu for 3 reasons. 1) its free to install with Sahasrara which considering how cash strapped this deck usually is that’s important. 2) People will sometimes trash an ice for it, and that’s almost always worth it considering this is an ice destruction deck. 3) Its not a resource, which can be good if you want to keep your tags from account syphon for some reason. Also being a program it give people another target for various program trashing effects which might end up preserving something you care about more.

That said having fooled around with a Casia build recently I have rediscovered the power of Xanadu so like I said I think I’ll make the switch and see what happens.
