I already played this deck at several constructed tournaments in 1998 and 1999 
and it hasn't been changed much since then. I still love to play it because it 
is really different and strong and fun to play. For this UK format tournament 
with BMI and Rent-I-Con more or less banned, I included one Aardvark instead 
of the 5th Edgerunner inc just for fun and surprise, because I expected 
everyone to play with a real breaker suit and Aardvark is such a rare card in 
practical gameplay.

Back in the old days most runners ignored the installed CNCs because of the 
large numbers and high trash cost and concentrated on R&D and HQ attack (which 
is not a bad idea in my opinion). In this tournament, however, all of my 
opponents concentrated on trashing all open CNCs, even if it cost lots of bits 
and actions. This surprised me a bit, and I had to adapt my gameplay: I had to 
protect the first and second CNC with small ice, or Glacier if it shows up early 
enough. In the future I might prefer to play with 2 instead of just 1 Glacier for 
this reason.
