The Hounds from the Grave Message on the "Floating Runner BBS" Hello you creatures of the Net. During my last adventures in Cyberspace, I' ve stumbeled into an secret Corporaton, whose HQ was located behind an small record releasing Corp., and who is dealing in AP Datafort Protection and Black Ice Research. As I had batteled through all the big bad Ice protecting these secret HQ (mostly AP of the worst kind), I' ve been able to download one of their own Corporate Structuring Files, which holds a lot of informations about their work and their Ambitions. I hope, these informations would help anyone who comes into trouble with these Corp. and you could use it to your favour. But I want to warn all the weefles and wannabes outa their. This Corp. is no playground for you. It uses very nasty black ice and we all know : "Nothing turns a wannabe into a coulda-been faster than rewriting the forebrain from the inside out.

I' ve worked on this deck for over one year, but now, with many test plays and very much help of my friends, it has become good enough for me. I know, their are many Runner cards working soly against Black Ice, but it is always a pleasure for me to play with it. Perheps you like Black Ice as much as I do, then feel free to use my deck as a guidline for building your own deck, or play with it if you like. Perhaps you have also some ideas how to make this deck working even better? Some Tricks how to play? Everyone who has played with Black Ice/ Agendas, knows their are a lot of cards for the Runner to crush your deck, and with this deck it is even worse. The greatest enemy of this deck is the Microtech 'Trode Set (which luckily gets played as often as Krumz), which turns mostly all of your sentry Ice into expensive Cybertrash (only the Mastiff can do a some little nasty things than), and so you should try to ice every Datafort with at least one Code Gate and one Wall, to prevente the runner from jumping in all to easy. This means even the Archives if possible, because I lost a couple of games just because the runner played an Terrorists Reprisal or a Syncronised Attack on HQ. Your major target should be to become as much bits as possible, so you can pay the very high rezzing costs of your black ice, and then starting to build an strong subsidary datafort or two. But don't play any Beta Test Site into these forts. Install them just into a open data fort without protection and leave them their. If the runner makes a run on them he looses an action and two bits if he trash the card, and you don't need the Test Site to win. The only things that you should install in an iced fort are the Department, the Rockerboy and the Weapons Depot, or an Agenda. But don't install an Quality Assurance, if you thing the runner might get it. It has an difficulty of 5. so that the runner has two turns to liberate the Agenda. Wait until you have the money to play an Project Consultant and the runner has no chance to get from a subsidary data fort. And after you score the first Black Ice Quality Assurance, the runner usally has a huge problem. Don't use the Consultent to score a Corporate War if you don't win the game with it. Install it into your protected fort, or mix it into your open data forts of Test Sites. You are able to score it in the next turn, so the chance for the runner isn't very good. Especialy if he must battle his way trough three or four sentrys and a wall and/or Code Gate to steal the Agenda. I know a lot of more tricks espacialy how to deal with the damned runner cards, but i thing, you should be able to find them if you want. So i hope you have as much fun to play the deck as I have. And don't to disappointed if you loose most of your games. This deck isn't intended to win every game. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Back to The List of Corporations Decks To The List of Runner Decks Back to The Main Page
