Ninja Nasir

TechnoMaestro 13

The best explorers go unseen - so this Cloak and Dagger Nasir Meidan: Cyber Exploreris supposed to take that to heart. With Mirror, there's even more oomph to your recurring credits, and with a number of quick burst credits from Magnum Opus and Dirty Laundry, you won't be short of credits to get your suite up and running. Dai V provides absolutely amazing efficency, and Omni-drive allows your ice breakers to go big while you save your MU for Multithreader and Cloak.

This deck does require a bit of set up before it gets rolling, but the hope is that no matter what you end up drawing, you end up acquiring some of the pieces you need. Early Personal Workshops, Technical Writers, or Self-modifying Codes can get you an early jump into getting your deck online, and the hope is that some form of economy - the classic Magnum Opus or any of the multiple recurring credits will net you what you need to get going.

The deck has a few trump cards as well - e3 Feedback Implants will make all your running way more efficient, Mirror enables you to get more bang for your hardware, and Net-Ready Eyes will allow you to boost your Stealth Programs much more effectively. Getting one of these out will DEFINITELY help out.

Any criticism would be greatly appreciated!

-1 point for not actually including Ninja :p

This is the first stealth Nasir build I've ever looked at, so I may be blind to the synergy of the deck, but:

Does e3 helps you at all? Only DaiV requires more than 1 credit to break a sub, and it's the only breaker that requires stealth cred to break, and it already breaks all subs. Can't spend multithread cred on e3 either. Unless I'm missing something?

And angel arena? I don't see the value of over a diesel, as Nasir is notoriously broke.

What about Order of Sol? That'd probably net you way more cred than the MOpus.

@mrgoldendealFair point :P But can you think of a better name that flows like Ninja Nasir?

@deifius e3, from where I stand, is a card that was a hold over from a previous iteration of the deck that used different breakers. It's an iffy card for all the reasons you listed, and if you can suggest a replacement, that'd be great.

I'm a fan of Angel Arena because this deck has zero recursion - so I don't want to be stuck having to discard down to hand size from Diesel or Quality Time, and with this I can filter a bit to get out a singleton like Net-Ready Eyes. I've used it AFTER a run where I might be flush with credits, usually installing it as a last click. Then, I can keep it around to filter if I need it instead of just getting a three card burst.

Order of Sol versus Magnum Opus is always a tough one, but I feel that Magnum Opus has always given me a better chance to build up a credit bank from a bad rez wiping any credits I've got and giving me a chance to recover, especially once a corp gets set up. My meta may be a bit ICE heavy and people enjoy glacier style play, so once the ice is installed, they don't have any reason to uninstall it or derez it generally.
