Kitsune Haarpsichord V1

whirrun 129

Seemed crazy strong while also having a lot of room for refinement. Kitsune is a bomb with this id, use it to get 4+ pt beals with Award Bait. Once you're ahead your ability then makes you almost impossible to catch. I would love your thoughts on an id that seems to be going under the radar.

Note: Pad is actually Exclusive Premier which I couldn't find under the Old Holly wood set cards.

Seems like kinda a waste to use Pachinko in a deck with only a single Data Raven as a tag source. Other than that, I like the idea of the deck. The main problem that I foresee about Kitsune is that the decks to beat right now are Prepaid Kate, who runs Atman and can easily set it at 3 to get by Kitsune, and Faust Noise, who runs Faust and can easily break a trap ice.

@Saan Thanks! The Pachinkos are there as a test, I like the idea of very cheap ice, when I played the deck yesterday I was reliably getting tags from Matrix Analyser and Siphon, but it's quite possible the ice can be jiggered about; I was actually thinking of dropping the Raven for hunter. I'm also not sure about trick of light, and whether I want cyberdex or to add in a closed accounts.

Can I again reccomend Kitsune though, AIs or not this deck handed my Faust Geist it's first ever loss. To anyone reading, do give it a try.

Thought about plan B? I ran a NEH deck with mushin no shin for a while. Sometimes they ignored your beale and you scored it for 3 or 4 points, sometimes they ran on the Plan B and you score astro with an astro follow up next turn.

Do you get any mileage out of Trick of Light without any advancable ICE or traps?

I was thinking about going Ice Wall instead of the single Trick and Pachinko, it gives your Matrix Analyzers something to do when you don't have anything on the table. Interns feels like another good card that could be used to retrieve Kitsune and have another safe server.

Thoughts?

@lajcik Thanks, your changes sound pretty good, the tol has been lacklustre. I would probably still want a single Pachinko as a tax though. I'm not really sure what I'd drop though for ice walls (I wan't to keep wraparound). Interns sounds strong.

@mcpba I thought about plan B, its definitely an option but I wanted to go light on tricks first to see if the basic combo could work.

Cards I would like to fit in include a Closed accounts, maybe also cyberdex / snatch and grab depending on the state of the meta. Thanks for the feedback!
