Chameleon Kate (Sept v1 - Boom being considered)

saetzero 2589

The latest in my lovely lizard carnival!

Notable things about this version.

-Got a FTE back in. Missed that card so much, forgive me please! Too helpful in too many matchups.

-Keep the Levy. Ignoring if IG49 stays relevant, you need money more than ever now. Levy to refresh all your Aesops-ables is a big deal.

-1x Astrolabe. Helpful to not, non essential. Make it 2x if you really hate on CTM.

-1x Beth and 2x Hyperdriver. I would say run 2x of 1, and 1x of the other. Your choice on which. Hyper is set up speed, Beth is glacier tech.

-2x NACH. Fuck breaking news. Fuck 24/7 kill combos when Boom drops. Fuck HHN (this makes it a flat 8 to avoid, so if both sides are rich you are golden. Fuck Data Raven and QPM to close games.

-1x Lady to use my 1 flex influence. Blue Sun might be coming back, and if you don't run Lady you MUST run Atman. I rather save the card slot and just change Inti into Lady.

-No Tech Writer or RDI. You easily can. Replace Daily Casts for Tech at will. I would say 2x RDI 2x Indexing is the correct choice if you value RDI. Cut a SOT for the extra slot.

-No Paricia. I'm just not trying to fight asset decks as much. NACH lets you build up and turtle, and there's tricks you can do to help vs CTM. Note, don't always take your Cache money right away... it can be a floating 3 dollars waiting to be taken.

-Yes clot. If you dont care about clot, then run Legwork instead. or Polop, Fall Guy, IHW, blah blah you got choices. I would say run Legwork and keep 2x SOT. I loved it before David hit the MWL.

-I don't like NACH! Plascrete or Councilman then. 2x Plas and you can survive 2x Boom combo. (8 counters + 5 cards in hand + keep installing 1 chameleon every turn. It returns after discard step. Thats 14 total.) Council stuffs Power Shutdown combos (Keep JH off the board, and you can council one if they try to Install JH > PS > AD. Makes combos way harder for CI7, and it makes PS 24/7 kill combos very hard while Council is ready).

-No Film Critic for NACH? You can. SOT or one of the Hyperdrivers is the best bet... but I dont like losing them. Personal choice probably.

This deck still works, its still fire. Any questions, let me know.

I don't think the Film Critic is really a choice here, but a must? I mean, at the moment, if you score an agenda you lose all of your kill protection.....

With the NEH Diagnostics Boom decks going around, you really need the NACH to stick.

@Phoenix- if you play tight and aggressive, you shouldnt be at zero points when you need NACH. having it on the board lets you turtle up until you find the second one, and between 2 agenda scores plus FTE.... you can just accept the loss of NACH and replay another after you steal. FC is a great card, but I dont value it (yet. keyword being yet) over say my 2nd Hyperdriver or SOT.
