The Six Agenda Shuffle (modified)

nismorack 85

This is my variation of the Six Agenda Shuffle that I ran at a local store tournament.

It went entirely undefeated, though my runner deck lost all games.

Notable changes is the addition of host Ghost Branch and Shell Corporation.

In a few tests I ran into runners having way too much money (even though this deck runs high on credits), the Ghost Branch makes it riskier to run on my naked installed cards that are being advanced.

Shell Corporation replaced Commercial Bankers Group in an effective way. Either I hide it in a well protected HQ and build up a massive credit pool. Or I host it in the server with the agenda I want them to steal because I'm packing Punitive Counterstrike.

Best play of the tournament was probably a naked Government Takeover advanced 6 times. I installed it with a punitive in hand and floating 15 credits. The runner had a choice of stealing the agenda and then getting shot or let me score it when I already had a Hostile Takeover.

Obvious counter to this deck is Film Critic or floating a large pool of credits. Still it's a fun deck to play with.

so my biggest question: With only 6 agendas, why run argus? Feels like it'd be more worth to put this in build a better world.

@pandaman64 Weyland Consortium: Building a Better World Only gives a very tiny boost since only Hedge Fund and Restructure are Transactions in this deck.

What I experienced most was that runners were very hesitant to make runs. Stealing an agenda means they either get meat damage or a tag. This makes them more careful and gives me a bit more time to build up and force their hand.

maybe consider -1 exchange of information, -1 sea source, +1 midseason replacements? Amazing to play out with a consulting visit.

I still feel like changing IDs and finding room for more transactions would be more beneficial for you in the long run. People more experienced against argus will just make sure to save up enough cash to make the run, clear the tag, and be out of sea/scorch range.

This is a fun, fun deck. Winning through SEA Source + Exchange of Information is just plain gold.
