Ben here. I call this deck Parakate - I'm sure you can guess why. I also consider this deck to be really splendid for a "comprehensive tutorial" matchup:

  • Introduces each relevant type of breaker: fixed, normal, keep strength, Crypsis, Femme, and trash breakers.

  • Multiple start of turn triggers where order matters (Parasite, Aesop, Daily Casts).

  • Memory management - 6 MU is pretty comfortable for this deck.

  • Paid-speed installs, and all that entails.

  • The power of Indexing.

  • Viruses to purge and the inherent Link of Kate.

  • Meat and net damage prevention.

Now, this doesn't mean that this is a good deck for teaching, as it goes over pretty much everything. But if someone's picked up the basics quickly, wants to play a "real deck" right off the bat, or wants to see pretty much the full spectrum of what this game has to offer, this deck is great for the runner side of that tutorial.

It's also super, super fun.
