Combo Breaker

Walker Net Ranger 139

Version 1 for testing. Debating between DDoS vs. Lamprey. Thoughts on both:

DDoS on a Peddler early could turn into a turn 2 surprise Wanton / Medium Dig.

Lamprey seems good for extra HQ pressure, but makes the deck more vulnerable to purge. And the Clone Chips might be over-taxed here, if we normally want to use them on Imp and D4vid refreshing.

Love this...very much. :) I plan on bringing my Kim deck to Store Championships in a few weeks (check it out - netrunnerdb.com) and I'm not sure if I've put enough econ in mine. I really love some of your includes, but just wondering...have you considered HQ multi-access at all? Sniping kill pieces is muy frustrating for Weyland or NBN. Also, Suckers would rule in this as well...D4v1d isn't forever, after all.

you probably need -1 DDoS -1 Wanton and +2 earthrise, because draw is missing IMO. Clicking to draw is the worst, and even with those -2 things, you'd be more likely to see them with the + draw. Parasite is pretty tough to exclude though.

Hey guys, thanks for the feedback!

@esutter479 I'll be sure to check out your version as well. RE: Multi access on HQ, I have a pseudo-multi-access with Wanton Destruction, of course this is not accessing but accomplishes the same goal of disabling Kill pieces in HQ. I would like that AND Legwork in Kim, I think he could abuse that better than most runners, but more events plays poorly with Street Peddler and I would have to re-work influence for HQI, maybe Nerve Agent could be a good in-faction alternative?

And re: Datasucker, of course that card is strong and I might have to go back to that. But the full rig with Atman at 5 (or at 4 if you find the Net-Ready Eyes first) seems like a good answer to the #Tollbooth, Assassin, what have you, after the D4v1d counters are out. It seems reasonably flexible, but Datasucker might still just be better, hard to say.

@x3r0h0ur yeah good call on the draw. If I made that change to Earthrise Hotel I would miss that 3rd Career Fair even more. Maybe swapping Atman for Faust in that scenario would be nice in case I can't afford to play the cards out of hand, but that might be a mistake to switch breakers?

Yeah it's hard to not play Parasite, I've been toying with the idea of some Cutlery events and/or Immolation Script to remove ICE but again that anti-synergizes with Street Peddler. I'll do some testing and see what works best. Thanks again!
