Whenever I decide to build a deck for a new ID, I ask myself a question; what can this ID do that nobody else in-faction can do. Noise can put a ton of pressure on archives, or even mill the corp. Reina and Whizzard have their own little subtypes of asset denial, and Quetzal specializes at cheap and efficient runs.

So where does Kim fit in? What does Kim do best? My answer to that was a new subset of asset denial. A mix of both Whizzard and Reina.

Your goal is to bankrupt the corp first or second click, and then hammer R&D with medium when they're unable to rez, using Siphon, Vamp, Xanadu, Took and Edward's ability to do so.

This deck has done insanely well in the last couple of weeks of testing, and I would love any advice from anyone willing to try this deck out.

Looks like a solid deck but I'd advice packing a mimic because there are so many Eater decks out there right now, that every corp deck I make has at least one swordsman in it. That ICE will not just slow you down a lot but will result in an untouchable server until you can parasite it away. Besides that, if the swordsman sits on HQ, your siphons will be pretty much useless and you're in trouble eco-wise.

There will be games, when all three of your crypsis are coming late. Then you'll loose against any fast advance decks or will have huge problems with glacier decks that already swim in money because their eco already stands.

So: -2 Rooks, -1 Datasucker, +2 Djins (mainly for tutoring Crypsis), +1 Mimic

That only if you really want to play with Crypsis, which is imho much too slow for these days.

What other breaker suite would you recommend? I only play Crypsis because of how much MU i need for parasites/medium/datasuckers/etc. Would you recommend me cutting datasucker entirely instead of the -2 rooks you suggested?

Crypsis without support is very click-consuming, so maybe an Incubator (tutorable with Djin) or Surge(pairs nicely with parasites/medium) but that's not really a must. With a little luck and the right timing, the breaker still works.

If you can tutor Medium with Djinn, you probably don't need three of them and that would free another slot ergo 2 Rooks/Datasuckers which should give you more flexibility if the credit denial strategy doesn't work (e.g against Blue Sun).

@Crashdown I really like the idea of adding incubator, but I can't seem to justify it and darasucker because of MU. I will test out your suggestions, and the djinn's already helped me with my original problems; (MU, Speed)
