First Pass Nasir

First attempt at a Nasir deck. I've been thinking about Nasir since he was spoiled, but wasn't sure what to do with him, until I saw this reddit thread: http://www.reddit.com/r/Netrunner/comments/2amaru/buildinganasirmeidanandnbnnearearth_hub/

Suddenly, I had an idea: Ice Analyzer. Punish the corp for rezzing even cheap ice, which will let you fetch programs with SMC or Clone Chip for cheap. The deck is also capable of late game plays on servers without rezzed ice, like Maker's Eye. You're almost definitely getting in no matter what, and Emergency Shutdown can keep your economy source (aka the corp) fresh.

I don't know how this will play out in practice yet, especially with Social Engineering, but with so many corps going for a taxing/big-ice strategy I think Nasir has potential to be strong in the current meta.

Har! I've been thinking of using Ice Analyzer as well, when I was building another Shaper deck the other day. Can't wait to get him, to try it out. I think I would try and find space for Aesop's Pawnshop to sell the Analyzer when ice has been rezzed across the board. Will also increase the gain on Armitage Codebusting a bit.

That makes sense. I was thinking Crescentus and Emergency Shutdown would keep ice derezzed and keep giving Ice Analyzer some value (and giving the corp more tough decisions). I'll definitely try it out though!
