  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

This deck is not a tournament deck, and it has a huge weakness: Enterprise
Inc. Shields. The reason it ever works is because when NR was popular here,
Proteus was scarce, and now that Proteus is easily found, no one has need
to buy packs, so few even know of EIS. NO ONE SAY ANYTHING ABOUT EIS
PLEASE!!!! Without further ado...

The Deck

   * Agenda
        o 4x Corporate Downsizing (good for getting rid of excess agendae)
        o 2x Marine Arcology (good long term source of bits)
        o 2x Corporate War (good short term source of bits)
   * Ice
        o 2x Data Darts
        o 1x Neural Blade
   * Operations
        o 5x Planning Consultants (great for making sure you get the right
          stuff)
        o 2x Annual Reviews (draw up that great stuff!)
        o 3x Efficiency Experts (some bits are good)
   * Nodes
        o 13x Setup! (The meat of the deck)
        o 6x Vacant Soulkiller (get around net damage prevention)
        o 4x Virus test site (twice the counters in damage, need i say
          more?)
        o 1x TRAP! (a tag, and if they smell yet another setup!, it deals
          that extra point)
   * Upgrades
        o - none -

Theory

The whole point is to make as many data forts as possible, making it a
whole game of chance for the runner, and making him paranoid as possible.
sure, runners aren't afraid to take damage, but a Setup! wastes his run and
two cards, for three actions, its only my auto-draw, and installation for
two. Or they dig through their deck until they find a Shield or Force
Shield, and by that time, I have won. In case you didn't notice, the
agendae are all 3 advancement, making for drop, and score next turn. EIS
can destroy this deck, but no one plays it around here, and it is useless
against my other two decks that I play more often, so unless the runner
smells a fried rat, they will charge head on into 6 points of net damage,
Virus Style.
