1x Mother Goddess

11 influence spent (max 15-2★=13, available 2)
23 agenda points (between 22 and 23)
54 cards (min 45)

It's a pretty straightforward rush deck designed around exploiting NEXT ICE to protect Director Haas. Once you get four clicks, your life becomes so much easier, doesn't it? And with plenty of assets, you should either have enough cash to rez even big ICE and just pick up speed or keep the runner poor enough to give you scoring windows.

Fate: beat Serotonin's gimmick Jesminder who took ages to draw into the crucial combo pieces and didn't run much.

You know what's cool about being a runner? Running. But it costs money! What if... running earned you money? And kept the Corp off-balance so that you could keep on running? And was also still cool? This deck has it all!

Fate: thanks to criminal tricks and a bunch of lucky accesses managed to bring down Serotonin's RP.

Brain damage is the best damage, and I will keep trying until I make it work, so help me.

Fate: Opened up with a misplay against Hewlett's Leela, got suckerpunched, never recovered.

13 influence spent (max 15-2★=13, available 0)
40 cards (min 40)

This deck is focused on setting up the biggest, meanest, most effective breakers (and Corroder) as fast as possible with the use of Shaper tricks. Tutor. Mod. Scavenge. Just set your big rig up before the Corp even has a chance to get out of the early game, then run it straight into a wall.

Fate: Set up super early on, kept hammering R&D with Indexings and Interfaces, did not see a single agenda.

15 influence spent (max 15, available 0)

49 cards (min 45)

Use Junebugs to protect Shell Corporations to keep your glacier up, then play Tricks of Light to fast advance off your battery of choice. Sounds simple, right?

Fate: is actually not a very good deck, which lead me to getting a bad draw into a worse Mulligan into getting siphoned into pointlessly flailing for the rest of the game.

8 influence spent (max 15-6★=9, available 1)
45 cards (min 45)

A pretty bog standard Kim deck, I guess? Hit the centrals early on, try to trash the combo pieces, run for cheap using Anarch breakers. Archives Interface as a meta choice and to make sure you get those combo pieces real good. Could potentially run tag-me if you're brave enough.

Fate: won off a bunch of lucky accesses before the game really began.

The best thing about ICE is when it stacks with other ICE and the numbers go up, up, up! An ICE-heavy, more traditional rush/FA deck with the added benefit of the ICE gaining in value over time.

Fate: lost after a very close game due to (IIRC) not drawing into any money when trying to Biotic Labor the two winning agendas and poor ABTs.

15 influence spent (max 15, available 0)
40 cards (min 40)

This deck is intended to pressure centrals in order to gain Notoriety and use Quest Completed for those annoying remote data forts. Definitely a tempo-based deck trying to race the corp to victory.

Fate: failed to draw Plascrete Carapace against Destrado. Eventually had to run to prevent him from just scoring out, and predictably got blasted into oblivion.

15 influence spent (max 15, available 0)
20 agenda points (between 20 and 21)
49 cards (min 45)

This deck is designed to put the runner into a no-win scenario where they either run and eat too many tags to drop them or don't run (potentially due to being too poor after dropping all those tags) and just let me score nasty agendas like The Cleaners with Crisis Management. Very vulnerable early on.

Fate: won against djfooboo in two turns after his Whizzard hit a News Team and decided to take the tags. A DRT fired, then he got scorched.
