Rowdy Reina Piper

esutter479 322

Finally, I've been able to mold together a Siphon-style Reina deck that I can call ROWDY!!

For the moment, it's relatively untested, but it seems as solid as it can be. I also have another version that replaces Eater with Faust, and goes -1 Plascrete and -1 Turntable for +2 Inject.

Any and all constructive feedback on my build would be much appreciated! :)

Reina is my fav Runner :), love seeing reina love.just a few questions i would pose or suggestions i would make is, why levy? , i would get rid of queens gambit and use dayjobs instead. i might put in a legwork with the leftover influence once u get rid of levy and then with the last influence u have put in a hades shard to help our with the keyhole win. u could prolly take out 1 armitage to do so. thats my suggestions just right off the top of head.

Levy, cuz I had 3 free inf. and no recursion to speak of really, lol. Yep, that's my justification of Levy. Queen's Gambit is mainly for the asset meta, cuz I know it exists. : ) There are folks that play locally here that love their assets, so I figured that QG could take some advantage of that. Legwork and Hades do make a legit re-splash of influence. I could cut an Armitage I suppose...we'll see! Thanks for the comment, siahof. :)

My main suggestion would be changing Armitage for Daily Casts as both Armitage and Liberated really click intensive economy.

If you intend in going Tag-Me I would also strongly recommend a second plascrete as in the current worldwide meta everyone is trying to kill you!

In terms of better uses of influence than a Levi, Femme is also a good shout for dealing with annoying ice/Turing/etc etc

Nice deck though.

I don't hate Casts, but early game, when you're not running Career Fairs it does set you back a bit. In this deck, the less of a credit setback you have, the better. I can certainly try it sometime...but gotta see how Codebusting works out first.

There are a lot of kill threats out there, yes...but I am more than prepared for them...not just card wise (1 Plascrete and 3 IHW should be ok for now), but mentally as well. If/when you land those Siphons/Vamp, you are pretty safe for a while from Scorched...and Punitives are easily dealt with as well (unless you steal 6 pts. in one turn, in which case, not much is going to save you anyway if the Corp is out-moneying you!). Heck, if Reina proves to fall prey to this easily, I could just switch IDs to Kim and wreck face that way. :D

I like Femme as well for dealing with annoying ICE, but unless I can reliably play it mid-game (and not have to dig for either it, or money), my current breaker suite should suffice. I most certainly appreciate the advice and shout out though...thank you Phoenix. :)
