Slipstream 2.0

frontu 313

I changed the ID from Kit to Chaos and everything fell into place. I get a huge win ratio out of this deck on OCTGN. The Deus X was a late add to deal with the massive amounts of Jinteki decks right now. Consider swapping out Deus X for an Atman if you're facing glacier HB decks.

Slipstream runs early (SMC), cost effectively (Datasucker + Cloak/Dagger), and is resilient against program destruction with cheap install costs and Clone Chip. This means you can play aggressively and still bounce back if you run into something nasty. Mulligan if you don't see one of the early game pieces: Desperado, Cloak, Dagger, Datasucker, or SMC. Try to get either Cloak + Dagger or Datasucker + Parasite out early and face-check their ice. This should slow the Corp down enough to set-up your rig and economy (Desperato, Kati Jones, Daily Casts). Use Parasite recursion (Clone Chip, Levy AR) on Jinteki's low strength sentries, Tollbooth, or glacial barriers. Focus on keeping R&D and HQ accessible to your Datasuckers and use Indexing to R&D lock NBN fast advance and avoid Jinteki traps. With proper piloting this deck is difficult to lose with.

This list looks very streamlined and tight. Nice work. I think Deus X is the right call because even if you don't run into Jinteki, there's a ton of AP ICE floating around right now. I look forward to testing this.

Thanks! I thought I'd post it since I'm not going to GenCon Indy this year :D
