Kate's Oven Baked Brain Chips

Voron 8

Have been testing it out for a while now. Started off as a Chaos Theory deck, but Kate shows her supremacy again!

Build Script/Deuces Wild/Process Automatation/Diesel

Gain 2, Draw 1/Gain 1, Draw 2/ Gain 1, Draw 2/Gain 0, Draw 3

Twelve Draw cards, Nine influence. If there were more of those kinds of cards, I would have added them instantly. Perfect speed in an otherwise slow Shaper deck. Technically it thins the deck down by these 12 cards. Making it a 33 deck size! There is a reason people always go fast through a back of crisps.

Brain Chip not only boosts my breakersuit to incredible heights, it also safes against Boom! & friends. And together with a Mem Chip there isn't an ICE in the game that can stop the breakers ones the deck gets rolling.

Six Netchips help incredibly with getting the rig online. Only need 2, to start running, and 3 out of 6 is enough for the rest of the game. I tried out Leprechaun and Dhegdeer, but having only three cards (and needing all three!) slows the deck down to much.

Film Critic & Constructs safe the deck against a lot of rig destruction... I hate rig destruction.

Adapt, Savant & Magnum Opus are the core of the deck. Having all three online makes me unstopable! With a good Beth & Datafolding this means more then enough credits to power through most ICE'd up servers.

The best openinghand is probably one of the draw cards with a netchip or two. And with 6 NetChips and 12 draw cards, this happens almost every game. The Decks biggest weakness are Ice & Firewalls, but for some reason people hardly ever advance them over S10... and in the time they get it so far, you could already make 2-3 runs! Another weakness is probably the lack of HQ access, but with having an oldschool R&D lock deck this shouldn't be a problem that often.

So pull open a bag of crisps and enjoy! =D

Wouldn't dhegdheer fill the same role as netchip, but for fewer slots? Couldn't you do -6 netchip +3 dhegdheer +2 SMC +1 opus, be strictly better? I'd even wager you could cut 1 of each breaker for indexing or something utility. Just a thought, in that tutor can stand in for extra copies of breakers.

@x3r0h0ur Tried it for the longest time, but getting 3 Dhegdheer out takes AGES, even if I add +2SMC. Also that makes the deck even more expensive aks slower again. NetChip does take in more slots, but with more slots comes more assurance in getting what you want. (Sure, I still need 3 NetChips, but getting 3 out of 6 is still faster then 3 out of 3) I do agree with lowering the breakers by 1 though. Might look at that! Thanks!

For less influence and not requiring stolen agendas, MemStrips does the exact same thing you are doing with the Brain Chips and would allow you to play another console. When you install three, it would actually do more than what Brain Chip could do.
