Core Parasite Shaper v1.0

Warden1 54

Using Parasites to make the Core Shaper deck more aggressive.

Thought Process

  • My first deck as a new player. Just 1x Core set.
  • Began as Core Shaper deck with full Core Neutral set.
  • Added 2x Parasite viruses.
  • Swapped 2x Battering Ram for 2x Corroder for cheaper upfront cost. Frees up RAM for Parasites.
  • Added 2x Déjà Vu for heap diving and reusable Parasites.
  • Added Ice Carver.

Questions

  • At what cost is a third Parasite worth including?
  • At what cost is Djinn worth including?
  • What expansion and data pack cards are suitable for this play style?

What expansion and data pack cards are suitable for this play style?

I think the first add you need is Creation & Control.

Remove :

1 x Ice Carver

2 x Net Shield

Add :

1 x Mimic

2 x Datasucker

Datasucker will help you kill ICE more easily with Parasite and you can install them for free with Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker ability. Mimic will help you break Sentry ICE cheaper than Pipeline and synergy well with Datasucker too.

You want the Cyber Exodus data pack for test run this is a card that every Shaper deck makes use of and you will make huge use of it been able to search for the parasites or reinstall one from your heap for immediate use or any other program for that matter like magnum Opus.

Also the deluxe set "creation and control" has lots of toys for Shapers and lovely cards like clone chip that will be of use here.
