This is a super fun shaper deck that actually makes Capstone as good if not better than diesel. The idea here is to have a huge MU to host tons of programs, all of which include at least two copies of each with accompanying resources for econ. In the mid game you can really tutor quickly by capstoning with at least 2 (though frequently 3) cards you already have installed. Cloak, Dagger, and Silencer ensure that you can face check most things early as you build your rig, while paintbrush pairs nicely with any of the three breakers featured, and with no shortage of ways to make money you can amass quite a bank account to hack almost any server. This is a tried and true shaper deck that shows a normal shaper early game but accelerates quickly in the mid game. Sure it could replace a few things or add SMC, but I find a lot of the tutoring cards take away from Mac's ability. Capstone can be really fast and cheap producing a faster draw rate than a drawn diesel. After playing with this deck a bunch I have come to the conclusion that Capstone is a very under-rated shaper card.

What's the Expert Schedule Analyzer for?

Good question, I was debating what program to throw in to finish out the influence plus to keep the Capstone theme working I needed to have two of them included. I settled on ESA to save on needless runs on HQ. Since the deck is slim on events I thought this program would provide important intel on what the corp is holding so you can focus on just hitting their R&D over and over again (So you'll always have a sense of what they're carrying and what they will draw)

Only thing that makes me nervous is lack of multi access (but that always makes me nervous). I love seeing weird cards like Capstone actually get use!

Same here, I build a lot of decks around supposedly useless cards and I have found this one to be the most successful. Capstone really gets a shaper rig built faster than most things provided you have the money, and this deck has tons of money options so it's always pretty easy to get it running, and with a full rig there are few things to worry about.
