The Kit-Gate Scandal

Kit doing what Kit does best... but post-rotation.

Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman still stands out as the strongest Shaper ID in my opinion. Her early game pressure is crazy and no server with a single piece of ice is ever safe. Here we attempt to extend her ID ability to allow her to crack into multiple ice servers.

Study Guide is our main ally here - after way too many games, this remains my favourite of all the kit-suitable breakers. It's ability to charge up and remain powerful is incredible. If you drop one along side a Magnum Opus in the first turn or two you are in for an easy ride! Yes, it takes a little 'pumping up', but it's a one-size fits all approach and Kit loves it!

The first bit of ice we hit each turn will be a code gate thanks to Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman's ID ability and 3 copies of Egret means that potentially the 2nd and 3rd (or 4th!) will be as well. We also run Tinkering to make sure we can keep code gates all the way (and Same Old Thing should we need more of them!). Back-up breakers come in the form of MKUltra and Paperclip, which while costing us all our influence, are clearly worth every penny... hence why they pop up in nearly every runner deck at the mo, plus Shapers have plenty of cool stuff without needing influence anyway. Originally I ran just 1 copy of each, but even with 3 copies of Self-modifying Code in the deck, pulling a 1-of is always tough and this deck loves consistency.

Due to slotting so many programs (and often using all the copies of Egret), we've had to add some chip space - opting for LLDS Memory Diamond on top of our console. It's a credit more than other options, but the extra hand size can be potentially useful. Speaking of consoles, we are running Ubax to enhance draw support - Totally awesome drawing a card every turn (sometimes 2 thanks to Beth Kilrain-Chang). Earlier versions of this deck also had Net Celebrity in, but I've dropped this for Interdiction which has saved my butt soooooooo many times I can't recall. Additional R&D pressure is bought to us by The Maker's Eye and Indexing, which we all know totally rocks!

This is an easy to use deck, that with some focus can catch the corp off guard and keep them on the back foot from the early turns. Solid & reliable Shaper. Suitable to use as a competitive teaching deck, and devastating in the hands of an experienced player.
