So sorry for the obnoxious deck name, but this kind of revolves around Atman, Leprechaun, Origami, and Monolith.

I love the ideas presented by PeekaySK (http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/808/big-girls-play-with-monoliths) and voltorocks (http://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/8110/monolithprechaun-don-t-knock-it-till-you-try-it-) building a Chaos monolith deck. With the addition of Origami, I just had to give this a try.

The main idea remains the same: sacrifice a whole bunch of programs to FCC, get monolith out early, recur your deck with LALAs. I could see Chronos Project being an issue, but it's a slight risk with the flexibility this deck should allow.

The Origamis are especially crucial, as they replace the plascretes from previous builds. Only two are necessary imho, but the third can just make your hand size that much more awesome or act as another sellable program.

I questioned myself on the lack of breaker presence (only five) other than the Atmans, but I figure with the diesel/quality time and using a LALA early in the game, you're bound to come across something that will allow you to put some pressure on the corp.

Now, Leprechaun. Credit to voltorocks for throwing this in the mix, it's a really fun card. I don't know if it's smart to install all three, but I thought, "What if you had a super rig with every single breaker you needed+Magnum+Sneakdoor+Datasucker?" Leprechaun was the only way I could make it work (hence the 3x all in play). Ideal full rig is as follows: 3 Leprechaun hosting 1 Magnum Opus, 1 Sneakdoor Beta (or SMCs for those), 2 Origami, and whatever 2 breakers you choose (for the sake of example, let's pick Mimic and Gordian Blade). The 5 MU not used by Leprechauns are filled by 1x Datasucker, 1x Corroder, and 3x Atman (Knight can be splashed for extra pressure instead of 3rd Atman).

Obviously it's a massive rig, and takes awhile to set up. I have NO idea if this deck works, and I haven't actually tested it yet, but had to try it out with the Origamis.

I'm new to deckbuilding, so critique it as much as you want. Test it, tear it apart, replace cards, or tell me it just sucks way more than previous builds using this idea :)

Also, if the deck works, could someone PLEASE find a better name for it?

Update 10/25 5:30 pm: -1 Corroder -2 Gordian Blade -1 Knight -1 Sneakdoor Beta, +2 Datasucker +1 Cyber Cypher +1 Morning Star +1 Crescentus. For fun. I'm thinking about Cache instead of Crescentus, but not sure which would do more against most corps.

The only problem I can see here is if you get dud draws and can't Freelance Coding Contract out enough stuff - you just don't start. There's also the risk (although kinda low) that you just don't get a Freelance Coding Contract and have to throw away half your programs.

You have such huge start up costs that I can see either of these scenarios occuring, and the corp is then just given so much leg room. I used to know a guy who ran a similar deck pre Honor and Profit - and it was really fun to watch. But when it crashed and burned - it burned hard.

@Softman25 i've played this style with The Professor: Keeper of Knowledge you need about 20 programs for this to work in a 45 card deck, they have 21 in a 40 card deck.

It'll be fine with Diesel and Quality Time theirs little problem and if you don't hit the FFC with the first draw you just play it different keep holding them QT's for when you get FFC.

Also it's worth noting that Origami will mean they won't have to throw all them programs away with dud draws.

Didn't think of #Origami, yeah, that's a thing.

I really just made the notes I made because it's a thing I've seen. I'd agree for sure that it's not likely - but then you've got to hold until you get the Freelance Coding Contract, which slows further.
