Principle

The main goal of this deck is to win by scoring 7 agenda points : 1 agenda point from a easy Hostile Takeover + 6 agenda points from the heavy "1 turn Government Takeover" Combo. If the Plan A fails, kill the Runner with Punitive Counterstrike.

Name of the deck

• Doomsday : Relative to the Magic card "Doomsday" that has the effect of Power Shutdown + Jackson Howard + Accelerated Diagnostics. The idea is simple and brutal : Trash all your R&D to put your combo into Archives.
• Punitive : Relative to Punitive Counterstrike. Kill the Runner if it steals your precious agendas.
• Government Takeover : Score Government Takeover in one turn thanks to the combo explained bellow.

Blue Sun suite

I choose to use the base Blue Sun suite because I like it. I feel it strong : good eco and solid Ices.

• Blue Sun: Powering the Future + Oversight AI + big Ices (Curtain Wall, Orion, Hadrian's Wall) make a lot of money.
• I like Orion because it has "Trash Program" and "End the Run". Warning : Don't advance it to let the rez cost/refund to 15.
• Priority Requisition allows to free an Ice and refund it next turn.

Plan A : 7 agenda points

Win the game by scoring 7 agenda points.

1. Score a Hostile Takeover.
2. Perform one of the following "1 turn Government Takeover" Combo.

Combo suite

Here is the list of the cards needed for the combos and an explanation what to do with those cards during the game :

• 1 Government Takeover : Kill the Runner with Punitive Counterstrike when he steals it.
• 3 Power Shutdown : Keep one in hand for the Combo. Use the others during the game to kill Corroders, or D4vid, or Keyhole, or...
• 3 Jackson Howard : One must be on the board at the start of your turn to launch the Combo. Do not use it's special ability because all the 3 Jackson unique abilities are used in the Combo. Use it's draw ability during the game to find the Combo faster.
• 2 Interns : Use it during the game to resurrect dead Jackson or Ices.
• 3 Accelerated Diagnostics : Keep one in hand for the Combo. Or keep 3 in hand for the Ultra-Heavy-Combo.
• 3 Shipment from SanSan : Use it on agendas during the game to score them "old-style" and save your money.
• 1 Biotic Labor : Buy an extra for 4 during the game. Money is not a problem.
• 1 Reclamation Order : Punitive Counterstrike failed ? All Jackson Howard or Power Shutdown or Accelerated Diagnostics have been trashed ? Need more with Oversight AI ? Try again !
• 1 Subliminal Messaging : Money is really good. Even when your are at 40.
