My First Shaper

ladybunne 107

My first Runner deck! It's a straightforward Shaper deck with the usual tricks: Magnum Opus, Gordian Blade, Diesel and Indexing.

NOTE: After playing the deck a bit, I've made some recent modifications. Notoriety wasn't working for me, HQ Interface wasn't worth its influence, and generally things were too costly.

I'm running Spinal Modem as my console, and it's excellent so far. Originally I had eXer, but I found that boosting strength on some of my breakers was too costly. I've added another Takobi, rearranged some resources (adding two of each of Kongamato and Gbahali) and looked at using Retrieval Run to offset the cost of breakers like Morning Star and Femme Fatale. I considered swapping in some Datasuckers, but Retrieval Run was just too tempting.

I'm really feeling the limitations of a single Revised Core Set - having only one The Personal Touch and The Maker's Eye is sad :(

Here's hoping these modifications make it a bit more consistent to play!

Dinosaurus can really help your boosting problems with your killers and it'll free up the influence for your eXer or HQ Interface. 5-strength Mimic will solve all of your sentry problems like Mlinzi or Anansi and your only worry should be Archer which you've got Takobi for. Nice deck!

@BlackCherries I like Spinal Modem too much to run Dinosaurus! The s are crucial in my lategame runs, and I have enough from Cyberdelia.

eXer takes too much influence, HQ Interface wasn't doing enough, and neither are worth me not running Spinal.

re: Mimic, I can just use Kongamato and Gbahali to get Takobi charges if needed.
