This deck went almost undefeated at a 5 rounds and 25 players online tournament, losing only one game against a Mti Mwekundu piloted by Patrick Gower (RotomAppliance). The list is based on his 419 deck that won the last Euro Championship and I tried to build on it with what I felt it was missing.

I won't go through what we already know about the main engine of 419 Nexus and I will focus only on my additions.

We can see Diversion of Funds that in a previous version it was Hot Pursuit, but in the end I chose the first because the list doesn't really need all that money and it's more important to keep the pressure on the Corp up.

Then I chose Credit Kiting because you have 3 very important targets for it and if you can land a Security Nexus in the first turns without losing time and money, or even gaining it (with Citadel Sanctuary and Power Tap), it can really unbalance the game in your favor.

As a restricted card I chose Film Critic because Corporate "Grant" is really something combined with the ID's ability. With the new MWL, the restricted card will become Crowdfunding and that 1 influence can be replaced with something else.

As programs, I chose the best of the best. Usually, the console and Aumakua and/or Laamb are all that you need during all the game, but also Laamb alone is sufficient to start running if your economy is sufficiently set up. With it you can break all the big ice without sweating and Aumakua is perfect for the small ones. Amina and Na'Not'K, two of the best decoders and killers, are there for backup but they are also very useful against glacier Corps.

This is one of the most solid decks I have ever played. Enjoy it!
