When I was looking at the version @Grimwalker posted, I hadn't realized that clearing an Armitage Codebusting would count towards Wasteland. Good lord.

Wait till you figure out that you can take off Kati, sell her for $6 at start of turn, then install your second one for $2

Cache seems like a natural in this deck. Perhaps, -1 gingerbread, -1 net shield, -1 stimhack for 3 cache? Given they could net 9 credits each, that's a pretty appealing prospect.

@sruman Actually, I think it's going to be -1 Gingerbread, +1 GS Shrike M2 for all the high strength sentries running around.

You could cut corroder for shaper fracters and Cache, but the real question is, do we want to spend 12 influence on this economy package instead of 9, and is Cache more worth it than adding HQ pressure? Maybe the answer is yes.

What about it in a Exile: Streethawk, by swapping 1 Stimhack for Scheherazade ? Since your not using "that much" kate ability, it would even out by Scheherazade, with the ability to draw one card in addition. I would in that case swap Quality Time for Test Run/Scavenge (cause exile).

I need to try that out.

In any case, thanks for that list, seems pretty fun to play.

Look up Dumpster Gamble, which did basically what you're describing.

The only issue with Exile is that you need tons of draw early to get Aesop's and Wasteland out. Cutting Diesel/Quality Time for cards that enable Exile so you can draw more seems like you're working against yourself.

Exile is an interesting thought, I was thinking about Hayley given many pretty cheap installs.

For a minute there I thought this could be a Professor deck. Then I remembered Wasteland cost influence.

Well duh nice idea! You didn't go the full mile though. Lady instead of corroder means even more credits when you sell off the exhausted one!

@daytodave posted this on the other list, I'm going to push Technical Writer again, so every time you do this you slowly build up an additional credit pool.

I'd really like to see lady and scavenge here.

@Abstract

I really like Technical Writer as well, but after playing a bit it has been moved from the initial deck to the list of cards to test later. Tech Writer makes the endgame explode (and could potentially replace Kati for that reason), but it's a card you have to draw early and that doesn't give money right away. To make it work, we need to mitigate the fact that it only pays out big once you're already set up, and thus don't need the money.

One way to do it is Levy, in a set up similar to Big Girls Play with Monoliths, where you draw through the deck once setting up, Levy, and get those Writers back to do it again.

Sometimes I wish Netrunner was played to 10 points instead of 7, so these time-investment strategies could have more time to breathe.

wacky stuff, Wasteland is a lot ofinfluence though. i like the gingerbread, tracers may become a thing after D&D

with Kati Jones and all your install shenanigans, might you want Daily Casts over Codebusting. I still like Armitage Codebusting, I think its a really undervalued card, but in this instance you might be a little click-intensive for it to do as much work.

Gingerbread is an interesting pick that could carry its weight in D&D (haven't been playing it at all online, so IDK) , but I still don't like its ratios enough to pull for it with SMC, I feel like you have a better breaker for almost every ICE (don't quote me on that, haven't crunched any numbers). All-told, 2 influence is a steep cost if gingerbread is just a cute silver bullet, but I hope it gets a chance to drop some jaws.

Cool list Dave, thanks for sharing!

Thank you for making a gingerbread deck that looks like it could kind of work.
