A Red Whale (a.k.a. Ballena Roja)

Thike 1203

This is the amalgam of a few ideas that have been floating around in my head for a while. The ideas:

-The Caissa suite is really strong, but really needs smaller breakers for most things.

-Darwin is underrated, and fits that niche well.

-I'm in love with mid-run installs, and doubly so when they're Caissa.

-An Anarch with a lot of money is scary.

So that's how I got here. There is one major oversight in this version: no Parasite. Not sure what to remove that that. Maybe I don't need it? It's such a good answer though, and doubles up on the pseudo-ice-destruction of the Caissa.

I'm thinking an e3 Feedback Implants or two would really help in the longer runs when both your breakers break for 2c.

I considered it. It does fit well. Lucky Find, Liberated and Kati should allow me to keep up in most situations, but I might need more Mediums/Nerve Agents to make runs meaningful.

Parasite is a great friend of Darwin and Bishop.

Also, I completely disagree about Darwin. He is very expensive to keep pumping every turn without either putting it on a omni-drive or having cyberfeeders out.

I kind of agree with something Peekay said once which is you pretty much need Ice Carver/Datasucker, Surge and Cyberfeeder to make Darwin work. I like Darwin, but I really question it and Knight as your only breakers. Has money really been that good in this deck? I never really had that great of luck with it in a very similar deck.
