A variation.

  • Dropped Atman for Corroder + Gordian Blade.
  • Dropped Dinosaurus for Akamatsu + Omni-drive.
  • Replaced the economy with Aesop + Daily Casts + Armitage.
  • Replaced Test Run with SMC.

I like the changes and would love to see how they work out. I'm going to give this version a run or two. I especially like the econ switch.

Thanks. I don't think the Tinkerings are good in this deck. I should have dropped them for ProContact or whatever.

Without Forged Activation, though, how will you get through an unrezzed piece of ice? As a corp if I see you're running paintbrush I leave one or two pieces of ice unrezzed on my remote until you run it. Now you've spent clicks to paint any rezzed ice and wasted a click running to force me to rez another piece of ice. You probably won't be able to do much against that without Forged and Tinkering.

Also, tinkering gets you into that early remote server when they're trying to sneak an Astro in behind Quandry/Wraparound.

To get through unrezzed ice, I have a killer, a fracter and a decoder. How do you do it? ;-)

Paintbrush is here to give me more than 2 credits per click, when I can use that Silent Cloaked Dagger against some taxing ice like Eli 1.0 or Viper (4 credits per click, assuming I have enough recurring credits).

I feel like the Akamatsus should really, really be Cyber Mem Chips. Then you could drop the Omnis for 2x MO, the Armitages for Dirty Laundries, possibly ditch the Tinkerings for something else (Modded and RnD Interface come to mind as suitable candidates), and have much more staying power.

Wouldn't Escher be good here, what with Gordian Blade, moving around unrezzed ICE and whatnot?

(oh man, you dropped Replicator... such a critical piece of the puzzle :( now I have to fit it back in somehow...)

Peekay, Escher was actually the last piece cut from my original deck. I still feel like it could be great.
