Replicating Click Tax

Xercies 1

A usual Replicating Perfection deck with a little bit of a twist, emphasizing a lot on taxing the runners clicks and by doing so making them not be able to run on the winning agenda server.

Eli and Viper are the obvious ice, both taxing clicks and money, Viper I probably would bump the trace on the losing a click and not be to bothered with ending the run if it goes through. Enhanced Login Protocol is very good with both of these,

Going with this strategy means replacing Nisei Mark 2 with False Lead, I feel that scoring one false lead is a bit easier then a Nisei and I would definitely not have a problem sacrificing it for a Future Perfect. The Philotic is just there to get to 20 agenda points and a quick 3 for 2, not really caring about the damage but could be nice if they have stolen a few False Leads or NAPDs to punish them for it.

I like Mushin No Shin to rush ot the future perfect, try and have an enhanced login protocol, put an Eli on the server and see if they can get in, if runner surprises you to have that False Lead just in case. Then switch to more Replicating Glacier for the other agendas. Maybe using a thomas haas to get some quick money or to bait the runner into running and gaining a scoring window.

ahhhh I was wondering at first about the addition of Thomas Haas but then I noticed the Mushins and it totally makes sense. Nice to see somebody running something different. Do you often find the Susanoos expensive rez cost to be prohibitive in your build? I had a fair amount of problems trying to get him out and ended up removing him in favor of some less expensive ICE. Also do you find the inazumas to be consistently effective? I assume that they are mostly for putting in front of Komainu and Susanoo.

I did when I was running an asset economy but in my last few games even though i didn't rez it I felt like I had enough money to. Celebrity Gift helps a lot to get the money for it.

Actually funny you should mention that I was thinking today that I should replace the Inazumas with some better ICE since all the games ive played with this deck not once have i used it. But not to sure what ice to replace it with since I feel Tsurigi is a bit to expensive

Yeah that boost from celebrity gift is a biggun, although I did like it more when I was running some traps as well. If your interested in seeing how my deck is built feel free to check it out. I just recently put together a new build that is heavier on ICE and assets then I usually run in an attempt to utilize the taxing central runs even more and drain their credits by getting them to run on assets that swing the credits in my favor like PAD Campaign. I havent had a chance to get to test it out yet since my local metal is very very low population sadly but I think it will play out pretty well. netrunnerdb.com
