Finger on Throat Means Death 2

Chickie Drake 116

Edit: traded 2 excalibur and a Shipment from mirrormorph for 3 turing 3 months ago. So good. This deck rocks in a Sifr meta.

Edit 2: I recently dumped minelayer, which never really did anything, and 1 rototurret for 2 fast tracks as per a suggestion. OMG so good! I forgot that was a card duh.

This deck is wacky, but it is so fun to play.

It is built around my favorite netrunner card: Edge of World!! It's a dumb card that is very hard to make work, but the Timmy in me loves it so much. The problem with EoW is that you need a ton of ice to make it truly scary. The way I've found it works best is play it early with a 2 or 3 ice remote server. If the runner hits it then you can never-advance in that server for the rest of the game because they won't run it again. If they don't hit it, make sure you rez the thing before you trash it, or just let them find it in the archives. Maybe they saw one with indexing or maker's eye or something. As long as the threat of instant death is there, it changes runner behaviour drastically.

So much ETR ice. It's all gear-check, so pile up the bad pub and don't worry about it. Once they have all their breakers your central ice is swiss cheese and you have to play the shell game or win with a biotic labor. Don't waste biotic labor if you can score normally, as you will need them later.

If they ignore the remote, score out. If they don't ignore the remote, EoW them. Honestly, this deck is basically the definition of rush.

ABT is great early, but not so great late. With so much ice in the deck you have a good chance of landing something. I've used it to upgrade a 3-ice remote to a 6-ice remote, which then is an awesome EoW server.

Hope you like playing jank. I know I do.

If you can find the influence for it, Bailiff seems like it would do good work, generating econ while being a hard ETR instead of pop-up window's porousness.

This is the greatest deck I have ever seen in my life.

I love Edge of World, have run it in ETF before many times, it's great fun. I usually make room for a couple of Neural EMPs to try and threaten the kill after the first EoW boop. Means you can get away with 2 slightly less brain busting Edge hits first, rather than just going for The Big One.

Issues I've had is people completely ignoring the remote and building breakers and econ until they install 2 Mediums and crush R&D. Probably just need to go faster.

Anyway cool deck will play.

I am definitely building this tonight to bring with me tomorrow. Do you think there might be room for Friends in High Places?

Also, the Hedge Funds might be better as Advanced Assembly Lines to help accelerate the game plan a bit.
