Lazy Chaos Theory

Castings 13

This deck is based off one that a friend of mine used for our local store championship. He took 2nd place overall. This deck is designed to cycle by using the massive draw afforded from 3x diesel, 3x quality time, and, if necessary, 3x Same old thing. As the deck economy starts to peter out, Levy AR labs is used to reshuffle everything back in (that isn't already installed). The Test Run-Scavenge combination is used to get programs out for cheap, Same Old Thing can be substituted if your only holding one of those cards and need to make the combo work. The nice thing about this combo is the fact that Test Run can pull from archives, so the fact that you may be discarding frequently (from all of the draw) is not actually a negative in this case. Chakana exists simply to slow the corp down, particularly useful if gotten out with Keyhole early. Hard at work and Magnum opus are the long term economy if things get tight.

I like this version of it, but it definitely has some wildly different goals. Keyhole pressure with Chakana looks really annoying (for the corp). You might need to go Cybersolutions instead of akamatsu. If you only draw 1 (or even 2) of the akamatsu, you won't be able to have your whole rig out. Magnum directly competes with hard at work, so I'd remove one of them. If you have magnum, then hard at work is terrible, as it removes a click for no gain at all. I think I'd only ever use HaW if I also used all-nighters or josh.B. One interesting synergy is indexing + keyhole. You can indexing and if theres agendas just run normal. If theres cards you don't want them to have you can follow up with a keyhole run.

Fair points. I chose the Akamatsu Mem Chips because they were so much cheaper than the Cybersolutions (1 for 1 vs. 4 for 2), but you have more experience with the economy of this deck. I've been debating the Hard At Work as well. I was looking for a way to increase the economy of this deck, but I do see the issue with not needing it once Magnum Opus is out. I suppose I could lose Hard At Work for a third lucky find or a copy of The Source.

There is never a reason to run hard at work. I'd drop it for another corroder to survive power shut downs.
