Şifr/Parasite Katman

TugtetguT 2006

A take on Şifr, which I can write just fine, but cannot make netrunnerdb find for the life of me, even with Quorum enabled in collection (help!).

The plan is of course to get Mopus out and use burst draw with program tutoring to find key pieces: Şifr - SMC - Atman - RDI maybe a Parasite at some point.

Thoughts:

3x Şifr because the deck really can't do without it and the options for hardware tutoring seems bad, also 1 influence a piece is dirt cheap.

In testing so far I've found that draw can be a hazzle sometimes. Earthrise/Quality Time could be two of each maybe. I do like the Sweeps Weeks denial that seem to come naturally with QT. Usually I find myself with only a few cards in hand for 2-3 early rounds while clicking Mopus and installing pieces before i pop a QT which seems to deny a lot of tempo from yellow.

For 7th and pseudo 8th MU the Dyson is only 2 credits in Kate. This might be a bad call but i hate MU problems and Mopus/Sucker/Atman/SMC/Parasite takes up a lot of space. Late game vs HB EtF I think we might need all our actual breakers.

2x Test Run is more Parasites or in a pinch your Mopus. This is not Scavenge because test run tutors from stack as well as recurs.

Mimic deals with Architect/Swordsman.

I played with just 1 Datasucker for a while and never tutored for it, but it also didn't see much use. With two copies you draw one early enough to get good value for your AtmanZero play.

Gamble/Casts/Modded/Beth feels pretty indifferent, you do need more economy than just Mopus and these do the job nicely. 3x Modded because we really want to see this with our big installs, but yet again there are many of these both in early and late game, even with Kate's ability accounted for. 3rd modded could be either Casts or Beth. It probably doesn't make a huge difference.

Finally Paricia/Salsette Slums are in there to try to somehow deal with asset spam decks.

Deleting your browser's cache should help with Şifr.

You seem to have forgotten to add your Lady, as you mention her but she didn't make the list somehow.

Ah thanks! I'll make correction right away.

I think the lady became the 2nd Datasucker which i like very much.

I played 3 games and got 3 wins playing this list before realizing there's no barrier breaker in it. Mimic and Zu.13 are sturdy and reliable backups in this list. Inspired! I thought about cutting the Paricia for the third Daily Casts but actually I like the Paricia in here. Adds a little situational variety.

@nutritionalzeroGood to hear, who needs barrier breakers, right? :) I like the Paricia comboed with Slums aswell for several match-ups: Gargarin, HB, Potential Unleashed - decks with friends basically. If I were to change Paricia I'd probably also switch slums for clot. It's a meta call to me which of these are best.
