Hate with love (Anti Liza + 419)

OP man 30

419 Nexus and Liza´s untrashable resources being reaally annoying, I wanted to create a silver bullet deck that would returns them the favor, while still being efficient against other factions and strategies.

This is why Jinteki´s Ag infusion ID appeared to me the wiser choice, for its strong ability to redirect run, its 17 inf, and well... for being Jinteki ^^ So far, it works pretty well ! against all Liza and 419 variant, and main strategies like Apoc, Bypass, multiple accessing, and other heavy resources based decks, thanks mainly to the corp redirecting ability, some well placed Anansi and Excalibur, multiple trashing resources options and their recurrence, without forgetting Jeeves, to play some more.

419 Nexus and Liza´s common points, differences *, and => silver bullets :

  • Both rely on lots of resources. => SEA Source, The All Seeing *, Voter Intimidation, Best Defense.
  • *main difference is Liza doesn´t care about being tagged, 419 does. So while the All seeing is an instant killer against Liza, and SEA a dead draw, it is tricky to trigger against 419, who carefully uses his Citadel Sanctuary to remove the Tag he gets. So SEA Source is needed.
  • Both have 1 Hardware central to their strategy and synergy, that doesn´t match their faction. You guessed it... => Enforcing Loyalty.
  • Both expose cards (Deuces Wild, Falsified Credential, 419 ability) => Psychic Field, It´s a Trap ! Obviously mostly against 419, with the classic Psychic + Neuronal EMP combo, or It´s a Trap + EMP combo, (which might, simply because of their presence, save you some cred on the install expose tax of asset/agenda AND ice), can still be useful for any other match up. Trap ! for instance, might still be able to force the runner to trash something valuable, or simply stays unrezzed waiting for a Deuces Wild to hit it, or simply being trashed to redirect a run with AG ability.
  • Aumakua => Macrophage. (N.B. for 419 Nexus : before he gets to 3 Power Tap and 3/4 Links... otherwise a successful all seeing is advisable before rezzing it ^^ )

ARCHIVE MEMORY and JEEVES :

Archive Mem are very good to recall whatever operation fits the best, and as there are 22 Operations in this deck, Jeeves is a key card for good compression and combos, like :

  • Celebrity Gift, Hedge Fund, IPO >> 17 creds
  • EMP EMP Archive Mem EMP >> 3 net
  • TAS TAS BEST Defense Preemptive >> the complete annihilation of Lizas resources and her hand (if she tried to prevent some trash with dummy Box the first time) , an amp up auma or Obelus trashed for 2 creds, and a troll, shuffling those Operations back in rnd ^^

Have fun !
