Mining Assassin [2nd @ London Regionals]

I intend to pick this up, because I like Jeitinho.

But why is there Simulchip?

Cheers!

@Diogenesimulchip is many things in this list.

• A cantrip, often played for 0 clicks, 0 real credits and drawing you a card
• A third revolver, especially important in the slower Jinteki matchups
• Protection from program trashing, something difficult for criminal to do otherwise, you can afford to chip a Cezve to get back a breaker if needed

You can also do other things like discarding a Curupira and getting it down for free or resetting a Cezve to get in on the final turn but they're more niche

Love the iteration on the list, I'm here to advocate for the 3rd Mining Accident if only so you're more likely to be able to play two back-to-back for maximum glee :D

@lif3line glad to hear it, our discussions at London were very interesting.

I could believe that cutting the third Diesel may be right but I'm certainly too chicken to try!

For those interested, I have updated my detailed writeup that is only meant for the most hardcore of Knife enjoyers:

I've been picking this one up for a short while now, and it's incredibly fun and powerful ... thanks sooooo much for the detailed write-up which has been enoumously helpful.

Unironally ... for Ag, and Archer outfit (?), any thought of adding a 1x The Back to basically put at least 3 more guns into the deck, while TB in other match-up at least can free up our "stranded boomerangs"?

(... even further down the TB train, can we potentially tune the diesel package into nuka/stoneship package for slightly more Back target, while we at least have the vials to absorb end game stoneship in a pinch?)

@Wenjong super happy to hear you're loving the deck.

I am currently stuck on playing the previous version of the list and have found cuts to be pretty impossible.

The Back is quite the card, I'd be keen to see how it feels but don't know what you'd cut... the second Sec Testing?

I think 3 TB counters will get you full recursion, 2 Revolver, 1 Simulchip and 3 Boomerang and you'll probably fire it sooner than that so I think Stoneship value is limited but it's more fun off turn stuff.

For a while I really wanted to try out Reclaim which fulfills a similar role but I found it difficult to manage.

Yea I’m on Maemi now too rather than the 2nd mining accident, to get some liquid cash probably based on how I’ve been playing … I’m actually on 1 gamble too vs. the 3rd doof as a Maemi outlet but this might just be my skill issue 😂

For the cut, I think 2 sec testing is essential to our very illiquid cash situation, not that we necessarily need the 2nd one installed but we really want to see the first one … I actually would suggest the 2nd vial, but yea I hear myself why suggesting cutting hardware is not necessarily the way to go.

Anyway just food for thought and reclaim does seem to be a easier TB too 😊
