Ken loves Khusyuk (Startup)

flippityflop 36

Wanted to make a Ken deck because hey, running is fun and you may as well get paid to do it. Just a lot of good criminal stuff and mostly typical Ken things with a couple of small exceptions.

Khusyuk is a card and a half and originally were Maker's Eyes as is the usual Ken way. However as I played I noticed Khusyuk would actually work really well. Plenty of 2 cost stuff that you always want to get installed early if possible (Docklands, Prepaid VoicePAD, Swift, Rezeki) and once you've got 3 of them, you have yourself a risk free Makers Eye. I have noticed a lot of people playing Jinteki of late in Startup so Khusyuk sits better with me than Maker's Eye does.

The Buffer Drive has also come in handy a few times, especially against Personal Evolution (not banned in startup) and is a nice insurance policy for your breakers as there is only one of each.

I chose Stargate over Conduit mostly because of influence and also the ability to trash key corp cards, even if you don't manage to get an agenda on the access is very handy.

No remote is safe early game with pressure cards like Inside Job and Boomerang, plus there is plenty of multi-access to keep up pressure on centrals. Make sure you setup as you go though as you don't want to be left in the dust once your early pressure has faded.
