Tied for first at Indy store championship. First criminal deck i've played in a while, but does fine.

Likely changes:

-1 gordian, +1 Zu: Quandry is a big threat early game, and Gordian doesn't pass the 'Run, Special order, install, run' test on five credits. Zu can do it for both quandry and enigma.

-1 Indexing, +1 Makers eye: From a high-level deckbuilding perspective, indexing and Makers eye fill roughly the same role. Having some versatility means that your same old things are slightly more powerful, and Indexing can fail in the late game when R&D is locked up tight and 2 runs on the same turn is untenable. In that situation (which seems common), a surprise makers could be a bad day for the corp when they were expecting indexing.

Plus, the above changes free up two influence, for:

-1 Emergency shutdown + 1 Corroder: More resistance to power shutdown. Plus, corroder is a good card(tm). ES is powerful, but i'd more often draw it and not want it than otherwise.

I've run this deck a couple times and I've run into a big problem. That being, what do you do when you've used up your Faerie's and the corp discards the ice your Knights are on? At that point anything with a Sentry you are locked out of. There isn't any recursion for these cards. I see the ES and Inside Job with SoT to get those back, but if you don't have those and have to dig for them that's a huge tempo hit. I'm curious if you've run into this scenario and how did you handle it?

Outside of that, this deck is quite nice. Thank you for posting it.

There probably should be a femme in here. I dont know what to cut for it - maybe a dirty laundry or an E3.
