Haley's Chemical Enlightenment

Haley was told her entire life she was destined for great things, her master trained her in the ways of meditation and non-attachment. Her master encouraged her to explore a all ways of life to have better understanding of the way ALL things are.

As a result of wanting to understand what attracts people to chaos, she made a friend named MaxX. MaxX brought Haley to her first rave party and gave Haley a Red Pill. Although Haley was not impressed with the dancing and music, she did realize how much of her life she had been wasting on sleep and imagined the possibilities.

Haley studied fervently, and learned her purpose in life is to painstakingly dismantle the plans of immoral Corporations through peaceful hacking. Through this she finds her liberation, her peace, her purpose. When she's plugged in, she uses means of space/time manipulation, loads of Diesel, and still keeps a Red Pill handy in case of emergency.

OK... but how do you play it?

It actually plays pretty well. After watching @forktines play his Stunt Pony 2.1 at ETX this last weekend, I saw an incredible amount of potential in the DDoS/False Echo plan in shaper, read his deck write up for more details on that combo. With 3 DDoS I can use them to steal an early agenda if the corp tries to rush, or I will use it to land an early indexing. Getting an early lead is huge, because you want to put the corp in a position where when you use Liberated Chela they are sacrificing agendas to save the game. You can play from behind as well, but get an early agenda or 2 if possible.

Haley's ability enables all kinds of extra clicks, and can make All-Nighter essentially a free click. Sometimes you will use these extra clicks for Liberated Chela, sometimes for rerunning R&D after indexing, sometimes for other things.

The challenge is knowing when to use your DDoS and what server. Indexing is the main gameplan, but you can def run hand if you feel they have agendas, or steal agendas in heavily guarded remotes. Councilman will save you from carpice or Jackson Howard (after indexing).

Don't save your hyperdriver for anything. Just get it down asap and use it asap. Get set up as soon as you can, especially getting early fan sites on the table. I will use my SMC's to get hyperdrivers almost every time.

Often times during a game you have a full hand of useful cards, and you dont want to proco. This is the time to put a counter on Temple of the Liberated Mind. You will win the game on explosive turns. Using a click to setup a monster turn later, or turning on Liberated Chela is worth it.

This is living the jank dream, and it's actually pretty good. I hope you enjoy!
