Subject: Runner Theme Deck 

Hello all. Here is the first Runner theme deck from my archives! This deck is now 10-0 
and has been played against everything EXCEPT a tag-&-bag deck! I make no promises, 
but I guarantee the tools are in here :-) 

MECHANICAL MAN

Programs:
Blink (x4)
Force Shield (x4) 

Hardware:
"Green Knight" Surge Buffers (x4)
Tycho Mem Chip (x2)
Full Body Conversion (x2)
Dermatech Body Plating (x2)
Microtech 'Trode Set (x2) 

Resources:
Short Circuit (x2)
Broker (x2)
Short Term contract (x2) 

Preps:

Anonymous Tip (x1)
Forged Activation Orders (x1)
Hunt Club BBS (x3) 

TOTAL CARDS: 46 

This deck relies on the Blink/Force Shiled+"Green Knight" relationship, with a big 
boost from the 'Trode set and the preps. Repeatedly Blink your way through ICE, 
soaking up the bad rolls with your defensive measures. If you spot a Liche (or other 
AP ICE) ignore it by virtue of the 'Trode set. This setup is extremely cost 
effective, allowing the use of  Huntclub to expose your targets. If the Corpmanages to 
get something unpassable out (like Wall of Ice) let them get the false sense of 
security, then use the Social Engineering to sail on by. As I said, this deck has 
never lost, though there have been some close calls!

With all the hardware, this runner is obviously some kind of AI housed in a big 
armored robot.Probably a Corp espionage weapon that got boosted somehow...
(Edited Shipping Manifest anyone?)
:-) 

Any comments may be directed to me, as I am the designer. Happy Corp killing! 

SeeYa,
Foolkiller (aka Chris Wagner)
