Chaos Theory Quick build

mitchellskii 1

Trying to build a fast paced chaos theory deck that focuses on heavy RND lock. rarely running elsewhere. lots of draw, with hand size increase from box E means that you can get through this deck quite fast.

The breaker suite is meant to focus on beating whatever is put in front of RND mainly. atmans are rarely used with data suckers. they are simply to make runs cheaper if multiple same strength ice are used in front of rnd or as a breaker for any massive ice. the study guide makes the first run ridiculous, but additional runs become cheaper. feme is for anythign pesky or big sentries.

Econ is through Opus and Kate in the mid to late game which is actually fairly good. and for early running modded and sure gamble, with mimic and lady are pretty reliable.

demolition run is meant for either clearing ops/ice you dont want the corp to have, or for late game where you can make a couple of runs on rnd in a turn and see fresh cards each time. Emergency shutdown is simply to make the rnd runs more hectic for the corp.

Problems, its a one trick pony. emergency shutdowns were originally legworks to offer variety. and the demolition runs were originally a D4v1d to kill big ice.

Open to suggestions to shave 5 cards. and also open to advice. The scariest moment for me is when lady runs out of tokens... hence the clone chips and levy. originally had scavenge but never really saw any use in games as i would get it early on or not at all.

Drop the Box-E shave 1 Quality Time for two Astrolabe, use influence for 2 Drug Dealers. Drop Kati Jones altogether, add another Magnum Opus, Plascrete Carapace and swap out Femme and Mimic for the new GS Shrike M2. From there you can figure out what you need to shave down to a 40 card deck.

Originally i didn't have Kati in the deck, but the economy was too slow against any deck that uses heavier ice. I have thought about using some drip economy instead, like daily casts or maybe data folding etc. But havent tested this much.

drug dealers is a cool thought, but if i lose the kati's then i think my econ in mid to late game will struggle. I love Astrolabe but i need the MU from Box E and the hand size is handy. but losing mimic would probably mean i would shave a data sucker so maybe thats possible.

Good advice!
