Hayley's Hardware Store

This is a deck conception I came up with after talking to some people in my local group. No one is a stranger to stealth at this point, and it is just as effective as always. The problem stealth always had is that it takes a long time to setup. (That ans the influence cost limiting your other options.)

The idea should be obvious. Get out Mopus as soon as possible. The next thing you want is your Replicator. You only need one to speed up the setup considerably. With a single Replicator you only need one of everything else to get the rest of your setup out. You can install 3 lockpicks with only one in hand and only 2 clicks. This also lets you thin your deck of extra cards so you can draw what you don't already have.

One Lady is for early pressure without losing to much cash flow, with corroder for later. Clot makes an appearance so you don't just outright lose to FA if you get a slower start... also because it is a decent splash in Shaper.

I haven't had a chance to test this deck fully, and I think it might need more draw for consitancy's sake, but I am not sure what to replace at this juncture. Some people may disagree with running Magnum Opus or econ, but it has always server me well in the past. While it may not have the burst of Pre-paid decks, it never truly runs out of money either.

I think with the absurd amount of hardware, you could be doing much better with the econ synergies. Daily Casts is +5 credits over 5 turns. Personal Workshop is +5 credits over 7 turns, but continues to drip throughout the game, lets you trigger Hayley on the Corp's turn, effectively increases your hand size, and lets you threaten instant-speed Clot even if you draw it. Inside Man should reliably generate more than +5 credits as well.

One other note is that you don't have an answer for typeless ICE. It rarely comes up, but it's worth being aware that NEXT decks (and a few others) can exploit the lack of Atman with Mother Goddess.

Great point about Workshop! I will definitely begin testing with that. I never really worked with it, so it didn't cross my mind.

Depending on if I find something I can cut for one. Excalibur is a pain.
