I have no clue what this deck is doing, but its too much, and probably not well. I would scrap the whole thing and start over. Find something you want to do, and focus on it. Provide a description so we can all see what you're going or and help you get there.

Start by using all influence and getting down to 45 cards.

The closest thing I can do to fix this would be :

-2 UWC -1 public sympathy -1 raymond flint -1 force of nature -2 dyson memchip -1 test run -1darwin -1 disrupter -1 snitch -2 deep red -3 pawn -1 snitch

That gets us down to 33 cards, with 6 free incluence

+3 quality time +1 diesel for the influence , +2 grimoire +1 datasucker +1 mimic +1corroder +2 djinn+1 yog +1 imp for 46 I think. Then you're using magnum and kati for econ, whichever one you find. You'll need to use Djinn to host magnum opus I'm sure, and even then you might have MU issues with a rig and bishops out. Might be better with deep red if you insist on using caissa, I'm uncertain how you'll fit morning star in without grimoire though...

Quality time and diesel will help with net damage, and help you find your few breakers, while drawing you econ, overdrawing your morning stars to retreival run them. This overdraw can also be done with Yog, which is pricey.

played it about 8 times now and it's worked extremely well 5 outta the 8. It does definitely needs refining though. It was just a quick throw together because my buddy wanted to play, I wanted to make something with the new runner w/ the caiissas and I didn't want to take too long building it.

getting it down to 45 cards is on the list, I like to start with 50 so I can take some out or put them in between testing it to see what works then trim it down from there.

most of the the mentioned card you suggest I take out I was thinking the same thing, minus one or both Deep Red. That's been pretty stable and useful in every one of my test games except maybe 2.

other than that I like your suggestions and will probably play around with em. thanks oh and morning star, that was one of the throw in cards although retrivel run has worked with one of the games really well, but yeah it'll most likely be one to be cut.

I should also mention that right now my friend only has the A:NR,core so that may be why it has worked well. It's very possible it would be completely different against others.
