Called 'Greed is Good' after a Michael Douglas line in the film 'Wall Street' (in which he plays high-powered speculator, Gordon Gecko), this deck relies on Rigged Investments (RI) for it's bit engine and solely targets R&D. The breaker suite, while not the cheapest to install, *is* cheap to run with, essential with this kit. Once the Corp figures out what you are up to, it will most likely start to pile it's Ice in your way. With this deck, it shouldn't make much difference. The Smith's Pawnshop is there to trash used up RIs when they are set to pay out their last bit, so it is important not to install more than one RI per turn if you can avoid it. While your early game will not be as strong as some decks, you should be able to run every round in by the late middle game and when you are accessing 7 cards per run, that usually ends the game in a hurry. The Enterprise Shields are in there primarily to avoid the damage from any TRAP!s, and Setups you may access from R&D. As there are no hand-size increasers here, Cruising for Netwatch is the card engine of choice, both because it doesn't fill up your hand too quickly, and gives that bonus bit in the early game, that may mean the difference between installing a RI and throwing it away. Things to watch out for include speed advancement decks, speed T'N'B, Rio deJaniero Grids on very deep R&D forts (6+ Ice), and Pattel Antibodies. On the other hand, any Corp that relies on scoring his agendas manually, is usually in for a hard time.
