Description:
The Idea
There are several cards in NR (usually rares) that are hardly met in decks. 
Some of them are completely useless (like New Blood - believe me - I tried to 
do something with the card - and I didn't make it ) but some just need very 
specialized deck.

This deck is built around rare preps Promises, Promises , Desperate Competitor 
and Hot Tip for WNS. It uses some help from  Inside Job, Preying Mantis and 
Technician Lover.

I noticed during the games I played or judged that runner usually accesses 1 or 
2 agendas during the game play - It is sometimes not enough to win.

In theory, this deck can win by accessing ONLY ONE 1-POINT AGENDA.

As You see this deck has rather poor tag prevention - It usually doesn't need 
more, but if You think so, just replace 1 Short Circuit and 1 Imp with 2 The 
Decks

Early game
Run a lot - until You know You're facing early-setup-TAG'n'BAG. Try to force 
the Corp to spend bits on rezzing all of its ICE. Each agenda You'll liberate 
makes easier for You to win later.
Mid game

Install Tech Lover and check all cards Corp gets. Plant Vienna Counters on HQ. 
Get MRAM Chips and use NETO to draw all preps You need to win.

Late game
Tech Lover Action and Bits,Bits,Bits. If Corp draws extra cards in its turn - 
Plant Vienna counters.

When You spot an Agenda on R&D - use Your Preying Mantises for Promises, 
Promises, the run and another preps (DC or HTFWNS. Unfortunately,there is no 
Prep for asset Agenda. BTW The one for Research Agenda is poor.I don't think it 
would help the deck.) If You liberate the Agenda from HQ - just play the preps.

Imagine that
     Action 1 Technician Lover - Hostile Takeover on top of R&D
     Action 2 Promises, Promises
     Action 3 Promises, Promises
     Action 4 Promises, Promises
     Preying Mantis #1 Action Run (Usually with Inside Job) - Score 4AP
     Preying Mantis #2 Action Desperate Competitor - Score 5th AP
     Preying Mantis #3 Action Desperate Competitor - Score 6th AP
     Preying Mantis #4 Action Desperate Competitor - Score 7th AP - win
