Yes we Kenma.

This is the Kenma deck I have been running and iterating for about 6 months now, also taking this to the German nationals.

I feel like it is in a good spot now, it's very consistent and has a lot of versatility. This deck can play very fast, relying on Event and run-based economy, or set up for the long game by heavily relying on Kati Jones and stacking up Datasucker tokens.

While it may not be very flashy, it is very good at what it does - pressure the corp, spreading thin their ressources, and making them leave their comfort zone. The prize of the most wonky and situational card definitely goes to Drive By - saving me a ton of credits (and nerves) by trashing SanSan City Grid or getting rid of that pesky Caprice Nisei.

I took this deck to a GNK tournament and got third, only having to bow to a FA Near-Earth Hub: Broadcast Center and an extraordinarily fast Gagarin Deep Space: Expanding the Horizon, both being piloted by very skilled players. This deck is very reliant on seeing exactly the right cards to play against fast advance, not having early The Maker's Eyes available to you can shut you out of a game pretty quickly. Once the AstroScript Pilot Program train left the station, it's pretty tricky to stop if before it runs you over.

Notable changes I would make now after this tournament:

Replace the Prepaid VoicePADs with Public Terminal again. I have been running them for the longest time and decided to try out VoicePADs after having them suggested to me by Jackmade at the German nationals. I was not convinced that their higher install cost was really pulling its weight through the tournament, and while hitting a Sure Gamble or a Special Order with it feels very good, I often found myself in situations where paying 2 was a lot more troublesome than paying 1 to get it on the board. As the VoicePADs can only hit those two events in addition, I feel like the terminals worked better overall.

John Masanori - he's both my greatest ally and my worst enemy, I love and hate this card - you get the gist. While it is incredibly efficient to do a Security Testing + Desperado + Dirty Laundry run and drawing a card, it feels awful to faceplant into an unexpected piece of ice, getting tagged and your Kati blown up. I've gone as far as storing my Masanori tags on him, they're his! He can be the one to eat the scorch. Alternatives to him would either be Drug Dealer or Symmetrical Visage - the first one giving you troubles in a tempo driven game by syphoning money every turn - the latter being less click efficient but better in longer games where your security testing engine might have been shut down.

Important mechanics I learned by playing this deck: You receive Datasucker tokens when running Security Testing on archives, even though a Cyberdex Virus Suite has been put there. The override effect of Security Testing is a true MVP here, making you swim in more tokens than you could ever need.

Archer still costs 4 to break with a Faerie. Don't run with just 3. Bad things will happen.

Discarding a Femme Fatale to later use a Clone Chip to install it at instant speed is a great security net when you're not entirely sure what big piece of ice the corp has been saving up for. 9 is harsh, but better than losing your rig (and therefore the game) to an unfortunately rezzed piece of ICE.

Any feedback or comments are greatly appreciated, Kenma has been my boo every since I started playing Netrunner around April 2015, so anything that might make him even better is very welcome!
