Shoot From the Heap v 0.5

Have been trying this deck out recently.

Yes, the "I PrePaid For This M- F- Event" is a huge inspiration for this iteration of the deck, so really, I thank akonnick and BTrain for their work on this archetype.

The bump to 2 Account Siphons means that as opposed to controlling the ICE with Clone Chips, I am more likely to pull off a late game Account Siphon which then opens up a steal, Retrieval Run, or Keyhole runs, which quite frankly won games, moreso then a well positioned clone chip.

By including Account Siphon, going the Keyhole/Eater/Amped Up/Wanton Destruction combos make more sense then using Medium/Nerve Agent, which is why I that am leaning towards this version currently.

This is the thing, it is hugely a meta call. Against Snare! decks, you will lose a chunk of your hand, and open up a SEA Scorched window, as you may be left with three cards in hand, one of which is I've Had Worse.

Don't get me wrong, I've Had Worse, and Inject are crucial to the deck, you are getting more into your hand, and choosing what is relevant in the game. The only lose I had in a store championship was due to a misplay, ending a turn with a successful run with 3 cards in hand, I made a bet that Blue Sun didn't have the combo, but they did. Important to note, I was one turn away from being able to kill Curtain Wall/Janus, any other ICE dropped. I just played poorly that game.

That being said, I played 4 rounds, lost once, and still have no idea what I would cut from this current 51 card deck. The lack of a sideboard means having "silver bullets" in the deck a losing proposition, most of the time. Singularity recursion destroys Jinteki always advance, and being able to transition fixed breakers, full rig to Keyhole/Eater, based on the current game.
