Eagle Eye (Beyoken's List Improved)

So this is a slightly modified version of this list by Bewnt/Beyoken (-1 Crowbar, +1 Cerberus "Rex" H2). But that's such an important change, and it's not like he gave a write up on the list anyway, so I wanted to talk about Khan for a while with a deck to reference and I figured reposting it wouldn't hurt. Give him some love for the original idea, anyway.

Khan has a lot of problems, most of them already well documented. She needs to run a lot of icebreakers, and those icebreakers need to be temporary so she needs more later on. And there's just not that many options available to her. The Breaking and Entering suite (Spike, Crowbar, Shiv) go in there, but without Geist's draw one card for one piece of ice is a raw deal. And then there's the link: 3x Rabbit Hole, using up a quarter of your precious influence. And that's still not enough, and you really can't afford the influence to import more. Golden, at 5 to install, is quite naff for criminals to be honest, even if it is her signature breaker. Other lists have run Chameleon or Brahman, but that influence is just too tough.

Let's reinterpret this ability. Khan let's you do something you normally couldn't, and that's maintain a constant breaker coverage when you would otherwise not expect one. See truth is, Khan isn't a falconer, she's a foxhunter. Enter Cerberus "Rex" H2. Specifically, three of them. Cerberus "Rex" H2 works out as slightly more efficient than ZU.13 Key Master at none of the influence, as long as you can keep them rolling. With three in your deck and the power to install them at any time, she can keep going through all the codegates between the dogs and a couple Crowbar. She turns Criminals' biggest weakness to a decent strength.

But a word of advice: you can't really afford to pay the influence for a Levy AR Lab Access. You don't have the deckslots for a backup breaker. And that's not a worry. Your goal is to win the game before you do have to worry about that. That's why I run Keyhole. With Temüjin Contract, Desperado and your new, improved efficient breakers, seeing fresh cards in multiple runs on R&D closes out the game pretty quickly. A single Keyhole is pretty easy to find in a 40 card deck, and well, you can be pretty certain you have the breakers to start trashing R&D the moment you see it. Account Siphon? I'd much rather get some points with Legwork.
