Bird Flu

Manjusri 20

Directly influenced by https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/39368/stupid-bird-deck-kit-2nd-at-philly-sc

I bastardized the hell out of that deck. I'm a fan of reliable econ, which is why I slotted the mopus; the stimhacks hurt too much, and PWs are too infrequent for my tastes (and I say that as a former longtime Nasir player).

The three NACHs already in the deck meant that Account Siphons would be a nice 11 credit swing for a click, and combined with bleeding out rez costs (and the fact I'M KIT, who expects siphons at all, let alone two) they can cripple someone unsuspecting.

The omni-drives are absolutely worthless. Funny when you get them out early and slap chameleons on them all game, but not worth the slots or the 3c tempo hits for installs.

Not sure what to replace them with, maybe a False Echo or two for massive ICE denial. ProCons wouldn't be awful but econ feels relatively consistent already with just sure gambles + SMC'd or Test Ran Mopus.

Really unsure, this is such a nuts combo, massive respect to saetzero for this.

If you are raw installing the chameleons, use Sahasrara maybe. Looks silly and fun. I approve. :)

Perhaps drop the Omni-drives and replace with a film critic and another same old thing for even more account siphon action?

Doubt that the Chameleons are being installed with credits; you'd use London Library to install them for free, and they'd return to your grip before the Library trashed them. Agree on losing the Omni-drives, since they conflict directly with the LL plan, and astrolabe provides all the memory you need. I don't know what you'd replace it with, though: maybe get Lockpick (which can pay for using Peregrine's ability?)

FC is a meta call. If you're planning on keeping them poor via account siphon, and keeping yourself rich via Mopus, you might be able to do without, though it will certainly help you keep those NACHes alive. So is something like Parecia, which could be helpful with asset spam.

Some folks recommended Macro drives, but for now I swapped them out for Interdiction x2; a lot of the time I'm just stacking cash and waiting for surgical runs, and this means I can pull of a massive "gonna index and steal from R&D" with a sudden Interdiction. Two feels almost like overkill, but it's a cheap current and lets me have a weaker form of Rumor Mill (e.g. can't Jackson my Indexing if I've saved enough for a turn of Interdiction -> Indexing -> Run R&D).

And just to be real saucy, I swapped out the two Astrolabes for more Same Old Things, because more siphons and indexes does sound fun.
