Looking through my Proteus cards latey I stumbled on the Sysops Lisa Blight and Marcel DeSoleil. I think early after the release of proteus they were considered to be a nice combo with Panic Button and Executive Boot Camp. Paired with some damaging ice the unprepared Runner would be dealt so many subroutines that he would eventually be flatlined. I don't know how many of us have tried such a deck, so I would like to present my current version. agenda 3 Fetal AI to deal the final blow if necessary 2 Main-Office Relocation you need a big handsize 1 Corporate Retreat earn money until ready ice 2 Crystal Wall 2 Quandary 4 Banpei 2 Laser Wire | 2 Nerve Labyrinth | deal the damage 4 Bolter Cluster | money 5 Account Receivable 2 BBS WC 1 Information Laundry could be used to attract the runner the combo 2 Lisa Blight 2 Marcel DeSoleil 2 Exec Boot Camp 1 Panic Button other 2 Virus Test Site disguise as agenda and deal additional damage 2 Chicago Branch 2 Falsified Trans. Experts 2 Euromarket Cons. You always need to have a full hand to be able to discard cards to get money and/or subroutines. You just sit there and gather bits and prepare you forts and wait until you can deal the final blow. A usefull addition might be Crystal Palace Station Grid to get the subroutine cost up and Obfuscated Fortress to make the runner worry. This deck has some obvious weaknesses other than the combination of required card. Runner who break subroutines for free are to be feared and icebreaker which break multiple subroutines at once are equal. A Runner with ESC has to be flatlined twice. Runners owned by Arasaka are difficult to flatline as well. The crucial point of this deck is the ambush or the unprepared runner. Once the runner has discovered the goal of this deck he should probably have no difficulties to beat it. But may be that buys you enough time to score your agenda. Has anybody some experiences with this kind of deck? Any comments are welcome. Bye, Holger
