Now You See Meidan, Now You Don't.

I've been a devout disciple of the "No-Sleep" school of Nasir for a while, but after dropping four games in a recent store championship I decided it was time to try a new approach.

No Ghost Runners?

Well, yes. I'm not sure if this is absolutely the right call, but everything else feels more essential than a couple Stealth credits. Between Diesel, Astrolabe, and SMC I believe that it shouldn't be hard to find the Stealth credits that I need at any given moment.

Why Astrolabe?

I'm really tired of spending a boatload of credits, even Stimhack credits, on Toolbox. It's slow, it's bloated, and it honestly doesn't have a proportional effect. Astro helps with draw, and that's what this deck needs. In an ideal world I would choose Logos, but with influence constraints I feel this is an acceptable pick

Why not Dagger to free up some influence?

That's a good question. Ultimately I feel that Switchblade is more supportive of Nasir's playstyle, but we'll see when it comes time to playtest this!

Isn't Personal Workshop overkill with such a cheap deck?

Possibly, but it's such a wonderful resource to have on hand. It allows you to run while sitting on a pile of credits and not feel guilty for doing so.

Why Stimhack?

Partially for Personal Workshop, partially because I love Stimhack. When you really need to steal that NAPD or break that Three-Deep server, Stimhack is your guy.

Critique and feedback are welcome!
