Here's mine. It's been beaten exactly 4 times (by 2 people). I call it the 'MS(c) BG(tm)' deck. You'll see why... Agenda: 2 x Executive Extraction 6 x Hostile Takeover 3 x Corporate Downsizing 2 x AI Chief Financial Officer (18 Agenda points) Operations: 5 x Planning Consultants 7 x Accounts Receivable 2 x Systematic Layoffs Nodes: 2 x City Surveillance Upgrade: 1 x Chimera ICE: 1 x Data Wall 1 x Wall of Static 2 x Laser Wire 1 x Razor Wire 1 x Filter 2 x Keeper 2 x Mazer 1 x Too Many Doors 1 x Asp 1 x Fragmentation Storm 1 x Homewrecker (tm) 1 x Cinderella A word of explanation: The Agenda are almost all grey ops, thus the 2 Exec.Extraction. The 2 AICFO are there to keep me from getting decked. The rest is *MONEY*. Which I score in 1 turn (after the EE, of course). The Systematic Layoffs are there to get the thing rolling (EE or AICFO). For the rest, this is certainly not a t'n'b deck, but I can give the Runner the idea it *is*, through the City Surveillance (installed or thrashed from R&D or HQ). The Chimera is a latecomer, just to keep pyramids under control. I don't *have* to install an Agenda or Node to install an Upgrade. So it looks just like any other DF. I might be tempted to use some V2.1, but it works as is. (One I'm considering is a Dept of Misinformation, where I can interdict uncovering of installed cards, in stead of a Surveillance). The ICE is just a mixed bunch (5 of each kind, just to keep the Runner busy), and not too expensive. One thing is imperative, tho: they all mention 'sub:End the Run' one way or the other. The Sentry kind is more difficult, but they work. Tell me what you think, won't you? Oh, yeah, MS BG? Think Windows, Office, ... and see what the deck is good at.
