Caprice at 3 influence? I'll take 2!

So Marcus Batty is a thing.

This is basically a standard (i.e. netdecked) HB deck, just with some changes to the ice and a swap of Corporate Troubleshooter and Marcus. Marcus is better than Troubleshooter for the alternate win condition for two reasons:

D4v1d is a thing that people run.

It can fire before the runner hits the ice.

Best case scenario, you rez a Gold they can't break, use Marcus to deal some damage, and then Gold deals them the final blow. Second best case you use him to trash the program they would use to break Gold. Worst case scenario, he's a backup Caprice Nisei. Sure, the trash cost makes him worse, but with Vitruvius, Jackson, and Archived Memories, you can easily bring him back. And you always have Caprice + Ash to make the runner hate you.

Quick note on the ICE. Quicksand seems to read "pay three to have the runner install a parasite". That might seem bad, but it's better than hitting Eli 1.0 or any NEXT. Ichi 1.0 instead of a third Architect because everyone around me is running Mimic.
