Anarkatman

Listed for easy reference when I'm streaming.

This is my current Atman build. There's nothing really fancy going on here. It's a variant of what I consider to be the third, and least common, Kate+Atman build: one spending its influence on Anarch virus tricks rather than on either Desperado or on events to abuse with Prepaid VoicePAD.

I think that the only things worth calling out here are the two relatively uncommon cards in the build:

1) Nerve Agent is a monster. People prep to deal with Legwork, but very few people have Nerve Agent on their radar. And while someone might risk one agenda in a poorly defended HQ because Legwork will miss 40% of the time, Nerve Agent can just see everything. The real advantage, though, is after you've charged it up. If the corp doesn't purge virus counters, you basically get to look at all of HQ whenever you want, which is huge.

2) Crescentus is highly situational. I mostly use it to punish glacier decks. The presence of the 2x Parasite here makes it pretty clear that my preference is to blow up my opponent's ice and then abuse Nerve Agent and Medium to see a ton of cards while they recover, but against a Tollbooth or a Curtain Wall, the Parasite plan isn't always going to work. Crescentus, however, is a beating. It's kind of a separate angle to apply similar pressure that the Parasites do: reducing the corporate defenses to create windows for multiple cheap runs.
