I’ve settled on 3 medium 2 nerve agent, frequently installing as many as I can. Glad to see that it’s not just me.
How the hell do you fit 5 multiaccess viruses? I’d love more.
Memstrips kick ass

I meant fitting the cards in your deck. I think I agree, but I’m not sure about MemStrips. I think the game is too fast still.

I use supplier, 1 click and 1 cred is fine, especially when it feeds my Overmind counters too. Vs hub you probably only have time for, and need 1 medium and NA. Their ice generally sucks.
Have you hit a celebrity gift yet? That feels AMAZING.
I can just imagine Eddie smashing that hand bag with his giant hammer. “HUMANITY NOW!” Poor giraffe.

You know what feels even better? Hitting a Midseasons after just stealing an agenda.

Even better? Raymond Flint + Tallie Perault to pick a Scorch out of the hand after the corp plays a SEA Source.

Hi guys, first post here, but I would like to contribute my experience with Edward. I have been having fun with the below deck. It is a really fun deck that has proved quite successful. Description below the list.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner (45 cards)
Edward Kim: Humanity’s Hammer
Event (23)
3 Day Job
2 Forked
2 Inside Job
3 I’ve Had Worse
3 Knifed
3 Lucky Find
2 Spooned
3 Sure Gamble
2 Wanton Destruction
Hardware (4)
1 Desperado
3 Prepaid VoicePAD
Resource (6)
2 John Masanori
2 Same Old Thing
2 Scrubber
Icebreaker (4)
1 Crypsis
3 Eater
Program (8)
2 Keyhole
3 Lamprey
3 Parasite
It is ice denial. Between the parasites and the cutlery events this deck has an easy time killing a lot of ice. At the same time it pressures HQ with lamprey, wanton destruction(which has proved to be quite good actually, even in Edward) and Ed’s ability. It pressures R&D with eater and Ed’s ability. It sports two inside jobs and two scrubbers to mess with remotes as well. With this pressure it forces the corp to really start icing these servers which plays into the ice destruction. Eater has proven itself to be a beastly card, especially given that it works so well with lamprey, wanton destruction, Keyhole, Desperado and John Masanori. The economy package is an old familiar with the pre-paid voice pads which is a great package to run together with all the events that I’m using to pressure the corp anyways.
I do think that I should try to squeeze a corroder and/or a mimic in there, because wraparound and architect are the enemy of this deck, but on the other hand it can still fight through those pretty well. Also, in my meta these cards aren’t as endemic as in other places, so I prefer to run a second scrubber and a second wanton destruction instead. Though I could see playing a imp over one of these.
Edward is the man. I think he is a great addition to the runner side. I’m glad there is a more consistent and persistent threat to operations than Imp, utopia shard or shenanigans like demo run + nerve agent with a couple counter on. Currently he’s my favorite of the new anarchs.
This might be an ok list. But you need to access more than 0 cards to use Eddy’s ability. If Eddy has eater it’s purely for avoiding ICE inflicted disasters and spooning lotus field. I think this is strictly better out of Reina.
Eddy plays boring, old fashioned netrunner. The sort where you build a rig, access as many cards as you can from centrals and steal agendas. It’s good fun.
Lamprey is an intriguing addition to the eater game. Though I can’t see you hitting HQ too much.

Agreed. If you get too fancy he’s not really doing his thing.
Lamprey just seems odd. It eats MU, and you already have serious pressure on a agenda-less HQ.

I feel like there isn’t such a thing as ‘too much pressure’ Making the corp react to you is the name of the game.
Thinking about aggressiveness, I’d like to make Ed as aggro as gabe, putting in NA and sneakdoor with lamprey, spread the centrals super thin, get the parasites and datasuckers going full speed too.
I disagree on your first point. Additional pressure is rarely terrible, (although it can be swingy) but there is a point where I’d rather bring in something else (econ, another copy of an icebreaker, a tutor, ice destruction) than more consequence inducing cards.
Sneakdoor might be worth a look, but honestly it’s a pain in the neck to use. Combined with Nerve Agent and Lamprey and you’re full up on Memory until you draw your console (or memstips, if you’re running it).
With Kim, I don’t think you need the punisher cards nearly as much as ways to deal with the gate slamming shut in your face.

I faced a lot of Weyland with my version above and Curtain Wall, Archer and even Hadrian’s Wall caused me a lot of grief. Maybe Zu plus a Femme is better than a Gordian Blade and maybe I need room for 1-2 David. Or … Fitting knifed back in
Master air: with lamprey and medium your deck might profit from … cyber threat.
It makes sense IN ice destruction decks with lamprey to keep the Corp money down where you are using parasite for ice destruction.
I really like the idea of Cyber Threat in Eddie Kim. Not sure why they needed to make that card Priority but I’ve been wanting to play it for awhile
You could maybe drop 1 IHW and 1 Stimhack to fit 2 David. Or just 1 IHW for 1 David. I don’t think 3x IHW is usually worth it. How did the Djinn work out for you? It’s the one card I was really unsure about in your list.
I’m going to try out the same list at my local league tonight and report back with any major findings.

Cyber Threat seems a little weak for the card slot. I dunno, how do you use it? You either scout some ice or get a free access. Seems like you could usually do the same thing without spending the $1. Anybody have any good Cyber Threat stories to convince me otherwise?

It is a little weak. But the utility is you gain intel without the risk of facechecking. And it lets you do what anarch does best - attack where the corp is weak. Additionally, it lets you deposit a parasite without either clone chip or the cost to break.
So
a)… it lets you run without a full rig when speed is commonly an anarch problem. It lets you run when the corp rezzes one and cannot afford to rez the other.
b). it gives you intel - if the corp doesn’t rez, perhaps he cannot or perhaps it is a program killer - it gives you advance notice.
