Don't Take Chances

Wrecko 494

Knight, Crypsis and Grappling Hook can get you past any ice you can think of. Crescentus and Emergency Shutdown add cost to the corp along with Account Siphon. Sacrificial Construct, Clone Chip and Fall Guy for recursion of Grappling Hook.

As always, comments are appreciated.

Just a reminder - Sacrificial Construct doesn't work with Grappling Hook, because the trash is a cost, not an after-effect like it is with Crypsis and Faerie. You can prevent the cost from being paid, but then the effect doesn't take place either (because its cost hasn't been paid). Same thing with Fall Guy not helping Sacrificial Construct stay around when used.

As for the deck - you seem riskily light on economy. I'd drop one Security Testing, one Fall Guy and one e3 for three Armitages, at the very least. Don't underestimate just how expensive Knight is to use repeatedly. Finding the space for John Masanori might also be a good idea, to make the deck flow smoother.

@PeekaySK With the e3 the knight is less expensive to use on multiple subs.

@Wrecko i think sacrificial is pointless for the above reasons especially with clone chip in their, cyber feeder would be better to save money on using programs. also new angeles works well with fall guy if you want to keep it in and it works well with account siphon as it can save 2 clicks.

Thanks @PeekaySK and @Pinkwarrior. I didn't realize my little combo wouldn't work but what you say makes sense.

The Sacrificial Construct are out and I will replace them with 3 Armitage Codebusting. The deck is meant to be tag friendly. I already replaced the Planned Assault with Forged Activation Orders just to put a little more pressure on their economy. I think I'll drop the Forged Activation Orders for John Masanori.

Any suggestion on what to use for the 3 influence I've freed up would be welcome.

To summarize: -2 Planned Assault -3 Sacrificial Construct +2 John Masanori +3 Armitage Codebusting

If you have 3 influence and are tight on slots, one card I really like is Imp.With your clone chips, you'll be able to get a lot of mileage out of him, and he can easily handle some popular low-interaction stuff like Biotics.

Alternatively, if you find your breaker situation needs help, consider a single copy of Atman. That would also need Special Order to be truly effective, though.

I think Medium could be a possibility here 2, allows u to switch thing up when HQ isn't viable. Or Nerve agent for piling the pressure on HQ when u can get through.

Some other thoughts r Data Leak Reversal and Joshua since your not bothered about tags but i think PeeKaySK's idea for an imp is probably best.

Thanks @PeekaySK and @Pinkwarrior. I'll drop 1 Crescentus and add 1 Imp
