Surfin' Kit.

swearyprincess 134

Set up Study Guide, Painter and Surfer quickly with Test Run and SMC, with Diesel and Magnum Opus either funding it or just drawing your econ cards. Replicator gets out your duplicate hardware (to either trash or install, as you need) so it's heavier on the cards than normal but you can get through your deck fairly quickly.

Turn the outermost ice into a barrier (with Tinkering or Painter) and a codegate (with Kit) then Surf that confused piece of ice all the way to the inner most position and then smash it up with your pumped up Study Guide. Next turn, do the same again :) If it's already a barrier, great - saves you a click. If it's already a codegate, surf somewhere else first!

Click 1: Paint Click 2: Surf!

Then either... Click 3: Paint a code gate Click 4: Surf that server next!

or: Do normal netrunner business like generate some sweet sweet credits or install some stuff.

53 cards.... Seems a lot...

@lunchmoney It is, but all the cards so far have proved worth including. I'll keep testing it, and see what could be dropped or substituted for something more efficient. Any suggestions, please feel free to let me know!

But as I said in the description there's enough draw/tutor in here to make most of what you want easy to get.

-1 film critic, -3 infiltration? Looks like the easiest cuts.

Clone Chip isn't doing anything except being fodder for Aesop's (or possibly recurring SMC's, but at that point I'd prefer to have more copies of Study Guide?)

Replicator is also not doing anything.

Speaking of Aesop's, it doesn't do anything here except give you an extra credit for Daily Casts and eat extra SMCs, this isn't an Aesop econ deck. Because of that, the Professional Contacts aren't useful either. And also the Tech Writer, because you shouldn't be installing more than 8-11 things in a game. (3 Lockpick, Opus, Paintbrush, Surfer, Study Guide, Console. Up to 3 SMCs)

Infiltration is an odd choice, though I suppose since you generally get one good run a turn it can make some sense. The Dyson Mem Chips are in here because you want 6 mem, but you can do that more easily with Akamatsu Mem Chips; You don't use Link. The Levy is also oddly placed since I don't think you'll ever go through your entire deck...

So -3 Replicator, -3 Professional Contracts, -3 Technical Writer, -1 Aesop's Pawnshop. -3 Clone Chip, -3 Dyson Mem Chip. +2 Akamatsu Mem Chip, +1 Legwork, +1 Stimhack, +3 Dirty Laundry, +1 Escher.

I'd also consider dropping a Tinkering or two for some Scavenges. You can drop Infiltration to get Feedback Filter if you're worried about Traps/Net Damage.

What always needs to be respected about Surfer Kit decks that rely on Study Guide is that you are going to Hemorrhage money fast. By all means refine the concept, but when you consider install costs for cards like Opus, (and that's excluding the need to Test Run or SMC it), as well as Professional Contacts, Study Guide and its boosting...it's going to cost you big! Reduce your cards to 45 with the suggestions provided, find cheaper alternatives where possible, (such as swapping the Dyson Mem Chip for Akamatsu).

I would suggest a single Sacrificial Construct, because you do NOT want to lose a high strength Study Guide. Technical Writer is doing nothing here IMO, and your Clone Chips and Aesop doesn't look like it's doing anything either. Modded would be a good choice since you have quite a few good targets! I don't think the Replicators are doing anything for you.
