Knives are fun, they let you accomplish many things. I found out quickly from elevation that some corps that ice up centrals really struggle for e con in the first 6 turns (minus BtL) so I wanted a really fast deck that didn't require me accessing 16-20 cards to win on average. That's when the backstabbing began.
None of my games in swiss went past turn 8, we vsed AuCo, Nebula, Zwicky and Mirrormorph.
Only loss was to AuCo which on turn 7 I was going for 3rd knife, had what I needed just needed to not hit too many traps and unfortunately we got hit by Byte on top of R&d and lost to end of the line next turn. Won by knife vs Nebula and Zwicky, too fast for the corporations. Mirrormorph game they flooded and I saw the 7th point on the turn I was doing my 3rd knife. Was unlucky.
Shibboleth was good, you never get to threat 4, Marjanah wasn't bad, saved 3 credits from installations over a curupira, Asmund was really good searching physariums too so transfers could go through. Lie low was a swift the night before, think it should of been any run event tho.
Always Mulligan for knifes getting one turn 1/2 is good cause corp panic ice centrals and try to get econ. Once they've wasted their credits on centrals you can pressure remotes for scoring out if they manage to lock you out.
Putting the deck and theory out there so better players can improve it, deck was sooo much fun and just really good pressure, also felt like I could of kept any of my hands if knifes weren't the goal.
In a meta where deep dive sable is good, knives thrives. Crazy to see a runner deck with no console do so well. Unlucky on the loss from Byte access, it happens to the best of us.
