Abusive/Regressive/Degenerate deck challenge response This is all Reyda's fault for asking who is the worst vampire. i voted for Smudge, and then immediately started thinking about how to make him terrific. Here is my idea: CRYPT: Equal parts of all the 1-cap vamps, probably including Smudge [or not. See below]. Need a total of as many vamps as you have fortitude cards, probably 20 [see below]. Since there are more than 10 1-cap vamps [11, IIRC] there will be all sorts of interesting variants of this deck, because different people will put multiples of the 1-caps they like best in. Or least, since they are all going to burn. Another version of this deck uses all the little guys and gals who already have basic fortitude. For this deck you need to remember to use the FoW at superior and the DtD at Inferior, and you need some Tributes to get your vamps down to 1 blood so that they will burn. Or maybe not. You could recycle the odd vamp, i spose. LIBRARY: 8 Parthenons 2 Information Highways Equal parts [1] Fortitude master discipline cards [20 for a 90-card deck] [2] Force of Will [20 for a 90-card deck] [3] Daring the Dawn [20 for a 90-card deck] [4] 50/50 mix of JS Simmons and Tasha Morgan [20 for a 90-card deck]. And as for the brilliant strategy of this deck, it is to bring out vamps, play a Parthenon, tap to put a for master on a vamp, tap the vamp to get JS or tasha, Force of Will and Daring the Dawn to bleed unblockably [by vamps] for 3 and then burn, influence out a new vamp, and next turn do the same thing, only twice. And don't play the Parthenon. You will have thought of that yourselves, and will be busily discarding your extra copies. Play the info highway as and when you get it. Fun, no? You're right. It's not fun. i'm not even sure it is new ... i have a vague feeling somebody else posted this pile of crap a while back. But if not, do i win the regressive/abusive deck compo o do i do i?????? And STOP smirking there at the back! The last-but-one UK Netrunner constructed-deck championship was won by a corp deck that was nearly as degenerate as this one. More so, in a way, because at least we are using about 17 different kinds of cards if we count the vamps [the NR deck i am talking about had 6, IIRC]. Of course if you just used March and Uriah you could get it down to 8 different kinds of cards. But this would be vulnerable to rush decks in a way which the above little gem isn't. This deck is vulnerable to anybody getting out Atonement, i suppose. If that happened you could use Misdirection [new version] to tap your own minion so that s/he could use the FoW/DtD combo, but this would only be a bleed for 2 instead of 3, and only once/turn. Maybe best to misdirect Atonement guy/gal and just hope they don't have animalism or princely untaps. Don't block anything except obviously non-stealthy big pre/dom bleeds.
