This deck is built around Midseason Replacements but often wins without it. Sometimes you'll land a Midseason and win with Scorched Earth or Psychographics, but you can also win by leveraging the fear Midseason generates to advance out agendas.

Until you land a Midseason it's hugely important to have a lot of credits so you can threaten one (and actually pull it off). It's rarely worth it to ice up a remote early, and even if you do put ice on a remote you almost never want to actually spend money to rez the ice there unless you're very certain it will let you score an important agenda.

The ice is meant to be hard to build an efficient rig against. If the runner is accessing multiple cards from R&D every turn you're going to have problems, so if you need to spend money on ice, do it on the R&D ice.

Magnum Opus is your worst enemy because you just can't win the credit fight over the long term and you're likely not going to be able to threaten landing a big Midseason. If they have one out you need to work more aggressively to score agendas and one strategy is to start to play more horizontally. Opus is an initial tempo hit and you can use ETR ice to score agendas before they manage to get their whole rig on the table.
