The obvious object is to establish massive bit superiority over the Corp. I like to use the Manifests early on to get bits++ and then between Net Zonings and Startup Immolators keep HQ clear of ICE. Once it's clear, it should be no problem keeping it clear because you can effectively keep the Corp from ever amassing any bits by making either repeated WtFP or PW runs. Just grab them with the Junkyard after each use and theoretically the Corp should never be able to lay ICE on the HQ, let alone Rez it. Although generally overlooked as an ICEbreaker, I think Krash works very well in this deck. It has the ability to break any of the low rez-cost ICE that might be thrown up in front of HQ early on. I've also toyed with the idea of using Loans early on to get the bits for Krash and Immolation. Later on the Loans can be paid off and Krash can be used easily. ESM runs build up bits fast! I prefer to use Nasuka Cycles to dodge the tags from the ESM runs. That way you can make two of them a turn - ESM, Junkyard, ESM, Junkyard. :D Flavour with other cards to taste. The reason I'm using 4 as the number for each of the cards is that I am stuck in that mode from Magic and all of those cards are essential to the strategy working. Please feel free to critique or rip-off this deck to your hearts' content.
