PsychoBeale deck that's been performing fairly well on Jinteki, seemingly even against Whizzards. I don't think it's a top tier deck but the runner meta is a lot more heavily dependent on resources now and I think this has improved tagging ice. Game plan is basically the same as a normal psycho beale deck. Get some cash, durdle around for a bit and threaten a San San or install stuff behind ice for a bit as you try to gain an economic lead. You'll usually Targeted Marketing on Wyldside to cut off their card draw. At some point you can midseasons and the runner is covered in tags. Often you won't score a beale as well in the same turn, you can trash their stuff and start to starve them of resources. Even if you don't get a great Midseasons off, Psychographics still becomes better than Biotic Labor.

The most "out there" card choice in this deck is Information Overload. It does nothing at all early in the game. It is a complete turd. But when you've made it rain tags on the runner, it's going to be incredibly hard for the runner to deal with. The most convenient way for Whizzard to deal with it at the moment is to have a clone chip for Parasite and 4 datasucker tokens ready. Most of the influence is spent on the AI hate and getting to be NBN. Psychic field scares the runner a bit and is actually pretty good outside of kill when you've got targeted marketing on your wyldside and they're being starved of cards. Architect is because I like it and it can't be trashed so fuck you dumblefork. I realise it's probably not the best way to spend influence. You don't run one pointers in this deck because you'll just get screwed by turntable right now.

This is by no way a finished or refined deck but I've greatly enjoyed the games (and some spectacular rig wipes) I've had with it so I thought I would share. Constructive criticism welcome.
