SSCI Anti-Anarch Niseii

Dr_Madhatter 475

This was my attempt to build something which tries to hate on Anarch as much as possible.

Crisium Grid, Wraparound and Swordsman are mainly there to deal with Eater and Keyhole. Crisium Grid also comes in useful when dealing with Legwork and Account Siphon.

Cyberdex Virus Suite is there to deal with Chakana and Medium. It can also be handy when dealing with Lamprey and Datasucker. Although most of my ice is low strength, wiping the datasuckers (usually from an archives access) can help keep Eli and Markus on the table.

Cerebral Static is sometimes a dead card, but sometimes its the card you really want to see. Its excellent against Noise, Quetzal and Maxx.

Chronos Project is a neat trick to pull off against Maxx or Shaper decks which recur a lot from their heap.

The rest of the deck is centred around money. It tries to gain money whilst making the runner spend theirs.

In regards to the choice of Identity, I think it makes 2 of arguably the best Corp cards in the game that little bit better i.e Caprice Nisei and The Future Perfect. Caprice is the key to scoring agendas, in fact, its the only way this deck scores agendas. This over-reliance on Caprice is glaringly obvious but she is excellent at allowing you to score as well as taxing the runner.

I'll be the first to say that this isn't a top-tier competitive deck, its heavily reliant on luck in some match-ups where your not using the Anti-Anarch tech cards. I thought I would type the deck up on here though in case people are in a meta where theres a lot of Anarch players and wanted to try something which could combat their shenanigans.

Only 2 sources of ID power credits? I know those ice are not great, but not even snowflake? At worst you bid 1 every time and it's a 1 credit tax on them ... (and can switch to 0 sometimes for possible pop-up power ...).

@sruman Snowflake could have gone in over Markus 1.0 but I prefer Markus. The deck did have Mamba in at a time when I was testing with hostile infrastructures and Fetal AI but I moved away from it. The deck is not all about the ID ability however it does make T.F.P and Caprice shine.
