Unorthodox Predictions has never really gotten a chance to shine with me? I find it a bit tricky to use. Has it worked for you ever?

I've frankly never played it before, but I do think it fits here. I'll explain why – with the caveat that this deck is most definitely more of a fun idea than something I actually think is competitive.

The goal of the deck is to set up a maze of ice that bounces the runner around, steering them down the most painful path (or just frustrating them). Eventually, though, the runner is going to be able to break your subroutines, and Unorthodox Predictions provides some cover for that. At the very least, it gives you a turn to install something new or use Tenma to rearrange. The walls of a labyrinth always seem to move when you're not looking :)

A bit low on economy?

@iMarco - Maybe, I'll have to test. I'm sort of counting on being able to use the ID ability to pick up spare credits when I don't really care about the outcome of a particular gamble. Just bid 0, take the free credit.

Unorthodox Predictions is pretty good with Rainbow. If you manage to install advance a Predictions, you can score it out next turn and install a better agenda behind a rainbow or other ice etc.

Pretty fun but combo-y
