Reina (or Noise) Keyhole+Medium Dig

The basic idea for this deck is to keyhole the hell out of the corp. Ideally I can get Keyhole + Medium going so that keyhole runs charge Medium. By trashing econ, ice, and combo pieces I can hopefully increase the agenda density of R and D to make it easy to then find agendas with medium. At least, that's the idea. I have Demo Run because how could you not use demo run when you're planning on having a beefy Medium? I'm hoping the combo of Corroder, Mimic, and Atman can keep me from getting locked out of centrals. We'll see how well it works.

I feel like armitage would be better because of the lower entry point and the fact that you're almost always breaking for 1. I do love the virus package though. I'd definitely stick to Noise, as he is the superior ID by a good margin too.

Thanks for the comment. My only problem with Noise is then I don't control what I'm trashing. With Keyhole I can choose to trash operations and ice and increase the agenda density of R and D, but just by being Noise I might have already trashed agendas by accident. I think I agree regardless, though, that Noise is the way to go.

I'm also debating the choice if Atman right now. Basically, I just really don't want to be locked out in case of a virus purge. I'm hoping that between Mimic, Corroder, and the two Atmans I can get by. I'm also toying with a version where instead of Atman and Clone Chips I use 2 Alias and 2 Passport. That way I can be sure that I can get into R and D.

You're right about Armitage, I think. Professional Contacts is a tempo hit, and so is Liberated, and with Prof Con out I can probably get by just fine with Armitage.

The thing with Noise, though, is that with his random trashes you can force them to use up their Jacksons that much faster.

As far as not getting locked out, I think you want Knight or Crypsis. Knight is probably the better option, depending on how much money you find yourself with.

That's true, it does force the corp to trash Jackson sooner. Good call.

I agree that Knight is probably the way to go. In my other version of this deck I removed the clone chips, added a third Professional Accounts, removed the Atmans, and am using 2 Passport, 2 Alias, 1 Mimic, 2 Corroder, and 3 Knight. I think it's unwieldy though. Maybe the Atman build will be better, and I'll just have to make room for a few Knights as back up.
