This deck, which won 2 games outright and never scored less than 6 in the others during the 1998 German National Championships, is designed to go up against Psycho Tyco, ASD/Corp War, Greyhound Demolition Derby, and Rent-to-Own Contract Decks and win. It, along with Shop 'til You Dropp, are about as 'cheesy' as it gets here. Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (FALILV) takes it's name from the movie and book about Hunter S. Thompson's drug-powered journey to Las Vegas in the early 70's. This is an accurate reflection of this decks Bit Engine, that being Lucidrine Booster Drug (LBD)/Liberated Savings Accounts (LSA). The idea here is to get the Emergency Self-Construct (ESC) on the table and play a quasi-tag-me strategy in regards to Tag 'N' Bag. Your money will be gained by playing an LSA, then making a run with LBD, cashing in the LSA as soon as you pay any cost. You shouldn't leave an LSA on the table between turns of course, if you are up against any deck with a T'N'B element in it. Use the R&D Protocol files to see what is coming up so you can better judge when to use your All Hands/Rush Hour runs. The Dropp and Demolition Run are in there to counter the big, mean, nasty Ice commonly encountered in Rent-to-Own Contract Decks. Of course, if you are taking damage anyway from the LBDs, then  Lifesavers Nanosurgeons makes an ideal Card Engine. Decks which use Pattel Antibodies in multiples, or do serious amounts of Net or Brain Damage with Ambush Nodes might slow this down, although it went up against one such and won in the above tournament.
