"Forget everything you think you know"
This is a solid Tier 2 deck. It is fun to play and Reaver gives professor the kick he needs to get going.
So on a dare I made a professor deck that utilizes Baba Yaga and the surprisingly good Reaver and Aesop's Pawnshop draw engine.
The premise here is to mulligan for Reaver and Aesop's Pawnshop in the opening hand and then just keep drawing and selling to set up more quickly as professor.
Popping a Clone Chip or a Self-modifying Code on your opponents turn also triggers Reaver.
Get set up with the Baba Yaga ultra rig of boosting 2c for 4 strength, breaking code gates and sentries for zero.
Sacrificial Construct is there to protect Scheherazade from Best Defense. You need Scheherazade down pretty early to get the engine going. Sahasrara helps but isn't required.
Technical Writer is so elegant in this deck, I really can't stress enough how quickly they fill.
Other than that it's the normal professor toolbox. Rebirth target is usually Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar really early or Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker. Late game its always Ele "Smoke" Scovak: Cynosure of the Net for the run money.
Enjoy!

Either Datasucker or D4v1d seems like a good slot for Turing on remote. Right now it seems your only out is Parasite or 3 clicks. |

If Swordsman becomes more of a thing than it needs to be, Mongoose will happily fill in the gaps. |

Or I could just parasite it. If they purge every other turn I will probably win anyway. |

It was just this morning that I realized swordsman wouldn't bust up the whole Baba Yaga. I wasn't sure if you'd been under the same misconception I had been, haha. |

Alternatively, MKUltra deals with Swordsman when necessary and can go infinite value with Sahasrara, pawnshop and Scheherazade as long as you keep bumping into sentries. |

Swordsman poses a problem to Baba Yaga, but not an unsolveable one. Will-o'-the-Wisp on the other hand... |

Have you thought about using Scavenge's allowing you to turn your Cache/Harbinger into an extra Clone Chip or allowing you to shift a breaker onto Baba Yaga so you don't have to have Baba Yaga down first? |

If Will-o'-the-Wisp becomes a real problem, just slot Councilman. If they pre-rez, you can just use normal breaking to get in. It also sort of counts as Sacrificial Construct #4+ so you don't facecheck a Marcus Batty/Keegan Lane without one. However, I don't expect that to be a problem any time soon. Potential changes I could see: -1 Film Critic, -1 Misdirection, +2 New Angeles City Hall. Film Critic doesn't do much other than save NACH right now, while NACH does tons of work by itself. Just reinstall a new one after you steal. Misdirection is really only worth it if you have 3+ tags, which means either Hard-Hitting News (2 clicks and 4 credits versus 8 credits for NACH) or they already had a chance to punish you. Preventing Breaking News is the important part, and Misdirection doesn't help. -1 Progenitor. It does nothing by itself, and not much even with Medium or Imp. +1 D4v1d or Datasucker. Gives you an answer to Turing on a remote, plus other value. -1 Symmetrical Visage. Sure, it's beneficial, but I think other cards do more for you, especially once you have Reaver out. Realistically it takes 5 turns to start paying out. (2 credits, "click" to draw, click to install is about 4 credits worth of cost.) Kati Jones and Daily Casts would be better includes IMO, if you want more resource econ. But that isn't the focus of your deck. Debatable whether you need the full 3 Sacrificial Constructs. How good is Harbinger for you? Sure it gets you 6 credits over 2 turns with Aesop's Pawnshop, but is that enough? You could also swap it with MKUltra, which is free to install with Sahasrara and can be reinstalled forever, and covers for Swordsman. I agree with So in total: -1 Film Critic, -1 Misdirection, -1 Progenitor, -1 Symmetrical Visage, -1 Harbinger, maybe -1 Sacrificial Construct. +2 New Angeles City Hall, +1 D4v1d or Datasucker, +1 MKUltra, +1/2 Scavenge. |

really love the look of this deck , loads of fun, I will try some thing similar I think after when Im done with my current prof deck. I never thought to use Reaver in this way |

Have you considered a Sharpshooter for the excellent credit to strength ratio? It could easily replace the Symmetrical Visage. |
