Placed top 8 at Rochester! Ever since Khan came out wanted to make her work but never really bothered till my Faust Andy got hit hard by the new mwl. Decided to go back and give her another chance. All this program trashing that has been going on lately also encouraged the change.

It's a little crazy but that's my favorite play style :) Khans ability and lack of influence feels like playing in hard mode but her small deck size does give her some vicious consistency. First turn you want Tem, Katie or Aesops along with an Aaron in hand. 3 of each breaker to see them soon. Draw or Fisk cards, make money, when your hand starts filling with programs drop a Faery and inside job a server to install another one of your breakers at a discounted price! Hostage is to get Aesops or Jon mas. The plan is to go through your deck fast Fisking as much as possible meaning the corp will either ditch they're agendas and Jackson them back in or hold on to them in hand. So legwork followed by siphons with your Aaron counters. Then start hammering rnd with Equiv even if your using your inside jobs to do it. My ideal turn is Fisk siphon Equiv Equiv. You force the corp to go through there deck at a pace that they aren't ready for.

I dropped one game in swiss to a Hasty CI deck cause of a misplay on my part. He had 2 cards left in his deck and 8 credits. I siphoned him without a Codegate breaker when I had 2 Aaron counters and the next card in my deck was an Abagnale lol(faceplant) if I had used the counter, installed and siphoned he wouldn't have been able to fast advance on his turn leaving Fisk to finish the job. Instead my dreams where crushed by a Quandry(tears). Moral of the story? Get your breakers!!!

Use Aesops to trash your duplicate breakers and then reinstall while inside job-ing. The art of Khan's ability can be quite beautiful at times. Abagnale can be used to bypass an expensive Codegate followed by a reinstall or outer piece of ice is barrier inner is Codegate you can break install and keep going. When you learn to do it smoothly it feels very satisfying. People aren't used to playing her so they are like what?... oh... If there is a sentry on an outer remote you can Aesops your Mkultra and keep reinstalling. If I've used 3 Fisks Levy so the fun can start all over again. Thinking of changing a Dirty Laundry into a Mobius and the other for Bloo Moose when it comes out which will make the deck insane since second time round could be mainly Siphons and Fisks.

This is my favorite deck to play and it wins about 85% of games. Its worst match up is RP Palana type decks since it takes a little while to get the control and caprice is just a nightmare especially for me. (I SUCK AT PSY GAMES) so focus on rnd and hope for some nice accesses and not too many DNA Trackers and that terrible Barrier that kills you. In finals Palana slaughtered me but that's ok. You can't win them all and I'm extremely happy with how she did.

Hope you enjoy and let me know what you think could make her better! Thanks

I think this is one of those decks that nobody sees but has good potential. I also liked Khan a lot, and always liked these small-deck-criminals. Didn't think of her asap after seeing the TD breakers though, and I think they may be among the best includes for this kind of deck.

Is the single Desperado there because of the 1 core set or deck slots? What would you cut to add 1 or 2 more?
