Checkpoint

Zouavez 156

The goal of this deck is to maximize the value of Checkpoint. Broadcast Square can negate the Bad Pub, especially with Making News, and is a great reason to include powerful ice like Grim and Shinobi that would otherwise be cut. With such threatening ice, you can rush out agendas in remotes, or fast advance.

I really like the look of this deck. It seems like it might be a little financially hurting?

Keep in mind that you won't rez more than 1 SanSan in most games and you don't have to afford Biotic. Broadcast Square's trace is usually not contested so you shouldn't have to contribute extra money beyond your ID ability. The most expensive ice is the x1 Shinobi at 7 credits. The restructure could be replaced with PAD or Marked Accounts, but provides extra money either way.

While you probably never plan to score out the NAPDs, there is a good chance that with this setup you will eventually take a bad pub or two. In that case, any other agenda would be better, at least according to Market Research.

That's a good point. 1 Bad Pub usually doesn't affect NAPD since you can still score it in 2 turns, but more could hurt. Ideally, you would avoid this situation with x3 Broadcast Square. I don't think Market Research would be a good choice considering the lack of tagging, but I'm not sure what would be better.

When Old Hollywood finally arrives, Explode-a-palooza would be a good substitute. Currently, the only real alternatives to Market are Corporate War if you plan to be rich or Character Assassination.
