This is an IG shell derived from the Submarine IG. I finished fourth in the tournament, with the deck not dropping a single game. My Runner fared significantly worse though, dropping four games throughout the tournament.

Deck:

This deck is a beast. Both me and Jander ran very similar lists (differing in just a few cards, he had some spicy Ronins and no Snares). The agenda suite makes it nigh impossible for the Runner to steal anything without Film Critic. You can safely store Obokatas in archives since if it's not the last agenda the Runner takes, they cannot be stolen.

In testing we decided to cut House of Knives from the agendas and completely abandon the scoring plan. Besides, HoK in IG is not as good as it is in PU (6 cards mill makes it a full on value machine), and an accidental HoK slip means the Runner needs to steal only two hard agendas rather than three.

There probably should be three Neurals in this deck but I've always run two because I'm poor and can't afford a second core set.

3 Enforced Curfews are a must in my opinion, they're almost a dead card in any matchup that doesn't feature EStrike, but EStrike stops this deck dead, especially with Slums and Whizzard. This was the matchup played against Mark when I scored out with 3 5/3 agendas, but just barely.

3 Tech Startups are here because I have shit luck and could never get Moons in time. They prove their worth, considering they give you free moon counters, free money from turtlebacks and free asset from R&D. Definitely provide immense value.

Snare is a crutch.

Overall a very fun tournament.

Lian Yu means purgatory in Chinese, referring to this deck's brief dominant position until it descends to the hell of rotation which is going to remove Shocks as well as the likely new MWL which will put Friends on three influence.
