Jankmaester - Oni Mode Engaged

It's not so much knowing what you're doing as your opponent having no idea where you're coming from. I mean, you certainly don't know how you're getting into a server an any given turn, but you'll probably get into one of them and it'll probably be AMAZING.

Scherezade->Sahasrara->Aesops is your primary econ engine, get it over anything else. Anything else you draw will likely get you into a server, so no need prioritizing finding those components with the first SMC. Your second SMC or 1st clone chip is for that.

Get Technical writer down early and it'll be worth 7-10 credits pretty quickly. This deck excels mostly at giving you a puzzle to solve every turn. This is netrunner on ONI [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hh-q4u64Qrw].

I'm sad that right when the professor appeared to get some legs Batty and Keegan are coming round to stomp on the fun. It makes me seriously reconsider whether this type of deck can survive in a competitive tournament. It's such toolbox that you should, if you've got a firm grasp of timing and whatnot be able to reach higher levels of precision than something like Kate; but it's interruptable because it's econ engine is fragile. If you're expecting either of those guys, just lean on technical writer and pray I guess. You're econ will be delayed and it'll slow you down, but it's the same effect with the added bonus of eventually making your chips free.

Still if the Keegan/Batty-pocolypse hasn't hit your meta, you'll get some interesting games in. And if you're playing at a high level you'll likely enjoy the challenge of thinking through each turn.

Not recommended for tournament play (Try writing this deck list out ;) ). Not recommended if expecting batty, etc.

I'd be more concerned about the resurgence of Power Shutdown than anything else if you intend to install the majority of your cards on Scheherazade. I am a massive The Professor: Keeper of Knowledge fan as well though so nice to see someone else playing him.

Yes, power shutdown too.
