Absolium 73

I think this deck is pretty clear. It's a «hand control» heavy damage deck,

Some program destrucion ICEs to take down their breakers (special love for chum-archer); Net damage (Neural EMP, Mamba, etc.) and Chronos Protocol: Selective Mind-mapping ability to trash other copies then Chronos Project to prevent recursion.

Event economy (Celebrity Gift, Hedge Fund and Medical Research Fundraiser) is suffisent to operate this deck. And you can always use Jackson Howard or Reclamation Order if needed, but I'd rather use them to get Shock!, Neural EMP or Caprice Nisei out of archive.

This deck went undefeted on our last game night (only 3 matches).

Special thanks to slobad31, RubbishyUsername and Murse for their help to upgrade/design this deck ;).

This is looking much more streamlined! Kudos on the victories at game night with it :)

Some other things I've been working with in my own build that have been doing some work are Targeted Marketing and Wendigo. Since you're looking at their hand, you can target whichever card you KNOW they'll want/need to play, then make mad money from it. This is a nightmare for Account Siphon decks. With Wendigo, even if they land one of their breakers, you can shapeshift this ICE into a type they can't break, then induce sadness when your ETRs that were formerly breakable are suddenly not so much.

For decks with recursion, it may also be worth considering either Blacklist or Will-o'-the-Wisp. Once you throw their breakers away, Blacklist makes sure they stay dead, potentially buying you time for a Chronos Project. Will-o'-the-Wisp can be particularly useful, albeit a bit pricy, as putting it at the bottom of their stack means they'll need to dig for either a Self-modifying Code or Test Run (as a Shaper) or a Special Order (as a Criminal).

It seems like this is working for you, though, so more power to you if you feel it's where you want it!
