Aesop's Clown Car

Corence 32

I had made a similar deck to @infinitive's Human Trafficking, but his was a little smoother. This deck is the blend of mine and that one, stealing the deck name from @Grimwalker since it's really quite appropriate and makes me smile.

Big Changes from Human Trafficking:

+2 NACH. Too important for protection. Dodges 24/7 News Cycle, Data Raven into Keegan. We're already playing Film Critic so it fits right in.

-3 Data Folding, +3 Calling in Favors, +1 Datasucker. Data Folding is a really slow card. Losing it weakens the ridiculous lategame, but with Kati and 3 Underworld Contacts I think it's still good enough. Calling in Favors pays big and helps you get through setup faster than Data Folding. Plus without Data Folding we have extra memory and can fit a third Datasucker in.

Other changes:

-2 Zu13, -1 Shrike, +2 Striker. Zu13 is better, but I'm not sure it's 4 influence better.

-1 Aesop's, +1 Drug Dealer. I found there weren't that many things I want to sell early on. You want the Drug Dealers on the table to keep accelerating your draw. I'm in no rush to get it on the table and influence is really tight in this deck, so going down to 2 copies.

-1 Jak, -2 Masanori. I use Jak for remote spam checking, but I feel like Jak's a dead card often enough where I don't want Masanori as well.

+1 Career Fair. Helps get Earthrise and Daily Casts on the table, but this is the first card I'd expect to cut just since the majority of resources are 0-2 cost. Also was a Sacrificial Construct at one point, but I don't see Batty much and Keegan is handled by NACH.
