WANT FEEDBACK PLEASE

So I was itching to make a 'Chess Deck'.

The aim for the deck is to make it costly to ress ICE and when ressed lower it so I can break through with cheap ICEBreakers.

Make it Expensive: Reina, Rook and Xanadu

Make it Weak: Datasucker, Bishop and Ice Carver

Make it Trash: Demolition Run and Imp stacked with Medium

Removed cards from initial theoretical build: 1x Demolition Run

1x Emergenzy Shutdown

1x Scheherazade 1x Knight 1x Imp 1x Clone Chip - Not room for 3? 1x Djinn - Odd one out 2x Pawn - Clone Chip can do its job 3x Liberated Account - Too expensive 3x Retrieval Run

Things I liked:

  • the breaker suite (maybe add 1 more knight?)
  • emergency shutdown is a nice splash choice - good synergy with reina

Things I didn't like so much:

  • wasted influence - if you want to go with shutdown I would splash theese: 2x Account Siphon, 2x Emergency Shutdown, 1x Sneakdoor Beta
  • since caissa stuff does not work with Scheherazade it is a weak card in this particular deck
  • way too much slots for recurring cards from archives
  • the deck is too light on econ - you need at least 9 econ cards, 6 is suicide

Check out my Reina deck. It might help you with creating your own Emergenzy Shutdown version.

Before I check your version I answer here on my thoughts and my re-work I did while waiting for some feedback. Also, thank you for your time to give feedback!

I added up to x3 Emergency Shutdown. I added x3 Money Laundry and removed Datasucker (for now). I added up to x3 Knight.

Debating in econ is 3x Codebusting or 3x Liberated Account or a mix (2/1). I bit afraid that the Liberated Account is too expensive to get out sometimes.

What is your take/idea on recurring cards? Remove Deja Vu or Clone Chip? Replace with?

Made some more changes, will revise up to what I got atm after I checked your deck =)
