Never Leave Home Without a Knife v0.3

Taking the core of the Dagger-Brush archetype, and applying it to this enigma of a runner. Nasir loves to facecheck, and the Dagger build allows you to do so safely. With so many recurring credits, you shouldn't have any issues with losing your credit pool. The non-killer breakers both maintain strength throughout the run, so that makes you more flexible with where you spend your money, too.

Personal Workshop seems like an auto-include with Nasir.

ProCo is also perfect for Nasir. Most runners find it to be a huge tempo loss if dropped first turn. Not him. Drop it, facecheck your way to riches! It's also the perfect economy card, as it allows you to dig up all the cards you want to put in Workshops.

Stimhack is great with PW. Escher is just as situational here as it is anywhere else, and I'm not sold on Tinkering, but this deck is untested, what with Nasir being unreleased and all. I just find him fascinating.

I've dropped Pheromones and Imp, as much as they could be great, for Morning Star. This gives him great late-game power against multi-sub ICE, an alternate plan for paintbrushing, it works well with PW and, most importantly, gives all his breakers a weapon theme.

I considered running Scavange for placing Daggers on Dino and saving me the order of install silliness, but Dagger is cheap enough that installing a new one isn't out of the question.

The inclusion of Dirty Laundry here is basically brilliant. Nasir is definitely an enigma, and having to facecheck for creds is going to be nuts. Of course, the better way to look at it is not that you need to facecheck for credits but that you need to spend all of your credits before you facecheck, otherwise your money is wasted.

Yeah, DL is great for him. PW means you can think about his ability both ways. It's like he has a constant Stimhack.
