I won a tournament! Thanks for building my decks, internet. :D

I added an Expose to deal with Blackmail (and bait advance) and a changed my Enigma to a Viper with the extra influence from not having 3x SanSan.

Yay! Glad you liked it.

The deck is pretty naturally good against Blackmail as is, since you're playing never-advance all day. Is Val really that huge where you play???

@TheBigBoy I love your decks. I still really enjoy playing PerfumeShop too.

I played a few games online against some blackmail players and was especially irritated when they pulled Spy Camera shenanigans. There is one player in my meta that does bring Valencia out a lot so I figured it would be a smart 1 of just in case.

I read your response to the other guy that said Surveillance Sweep wasn't really necessary. It won me a couple of games oppressively but at 1x it's definitely likely to only work for part of the game. It may be better to just turn it back to a third Restructure.

If you think about it, you are paying 7 for that sweep since you pay 2 instead of gaining 5 with a restructure. If you put those 7 credits into traces (which would be WAY MORE than enough), you would win every trace easily. Do people actually pay your troll traces? I find 2 trolls both at trace 3 never get paid off.

@TheBigBoy I definitely see what you're talking about and saw your comment elsewhere that if you are facing runners with link you should probably be running another deck. The problem is that runners that manage to generate a lot of money can be a real problem with this deck to build a scoring window out of. At that point I rely on Eli, Ichi, and Viper all being on my remote server (as is the goal) and actually taxing them.

To that end against a rich runner or a runner with link if I can build a credit advantage and bait some runs successfully I can cost them a LOT of tempo. When the runner has to pay for traces first the NBN credits are a tax on every trace, not just the first.
