SSCI top8 Chaos Theory

How often did you play Clot, and was it worth the deck slot?

It's only 1 copy so it's not very problematic to put it in. It's perfect counter for fa. I needed cloth in 2 games. I don't even need to play it, just have it in deck.

I play your stimshop CT often, gotta ask: how do you deal with Curtain Wall on R&D against Blue Suns?

Take 8 credits for 5 turns, then R&D run for 6 cards and pray for agendas.

No plascrete?

No, you win or you die.

the real question is how do you handle Ichi 1.0 tax? I see a lot of decks running it now as a 3 of since Datasucker isn't being run by most Leela players.

Click, Click, trace me.

I play i bit "safer" (and slightly slower) version of this deck. -1x Magnum -1x Legwork -2x Astro

• 2x Hedge
• 2x Box-E

Mainly, regarding my bad draw luck, secondly I like to feel "fine" after my second stim-dash-shop...

Side note: I really like the "Elsa-Style" in this deck on the last 5-6 card R&D run...

"Let it go, let it go... brain damage/breakers never bothered me anywff....pffaraahggll..."

The 2 - CCs and Clot feel like dead cards in half the games when I'm drawing for multi access. With all the big ice and RP, I'd almost rather have a second Femme just for test run and two scavenges for my first. Can't we just let all the Kate decks run Clot to keep NEH out of the meta? ;)

Sadly it doesn't work like that :( 1 cloth is solving too many problems to get rid of it. And more influence is not needed. CC is usefull for recurring smc and deus x.

I am noticing a trend of 4+ strength sentries like Ichi 1.0 , Nebula, Cortex Lock and even Susanoo in the decks I meet lately (RP mostly) which I find are very annoying to deal with using this setup. What would be the best way to deal with it?

What I tried: +Atman+datasucker-Mimic-test run -> this seemed to work at first, but the need of having Femme installed slowed the deck and made those 2 remaining test runs much less useful. Also MU issues, so this is a no but datasucker was great, not only for atman.

-legwork-2astrolabe+2Box-E+atman -> This solved the MU issues, made me feel a bit safer sitting outside of single scorch territory, but Atman alone wasn't as flexible as I'd have liked. It was a little slower as well, because early box-e was useless. But it worked and it certainly made those troublesome ICE cheaper. So ok-ish.

Also with MO I am sorely missing Vamp to shut off Caprice on RnD/remote. In the first try, I would be ok with exhanging legwork for a vamp, but in the second version, I can't go to just 1 legwork :( Also 1-of Vamp in a deck that risks tossing it away from Stimhack damage would ask for some SoTs.

Perhaps -legwork-2astrolabe+2cybersolutions memchip+datasucker? and perhaps go Utopia shard instead of something to make up for the lost Legwork, also as combo protection.

Or Perhaps just slot in a Personal Touch or two and put it on Mimic?

Any ideas welcome as I really like the deck.

@juliandark I took his worlds build when I got bored of the professor and wanted something actually consistant and slowly tweaked it for me. I've found atman at 4,5 or 6 matchup depending solves all you issues that femme(well she does, but its hella expensive) and mimic do not, combined with Box-E for memory, less death, and a bit more recursion. I have not tried clot yet, I may in the future.

Taking this deck to a regionals, final changes are: -3legwork-1makers eye-3QT-2Astro +2BoxE+1Vamp+1SoT+3Hotel+1sucker+1utopia

I feel legworks are the only place where I can save the influence for other things, and having none REALLY hurts, but I expect a lot of RP and as noted before, I wanted to deal with str 4+ sentries in an efficient way, I opted for Box-E+sucker, which costs me 3 influence and I figured I'd rather have 1 vamp instead of 1 legwork.
