Dumpster diving.

Totally new to this game and trying my hand on deck building. I like the idea of getting the cards I want when I want it. My worry is the economy could be weak on this.

I only have up to Creation and Control right now, so I've limited the deck options as such.

Im far from expert here. But I notced a few things that may help.

As exile your goal is going to be digging in the trash for the free card draw. Levy AR seems counter productive because you are wiping out your ability to pull out goodies from the trash. I would recommend trying to work scavenge and Aesop s pawn shop into the deck. With your multiple copies of breakers along with self modifying code. You can at very least replace a card with itself and gain a card draw plus 3 gold.

I can see where Mr Lee would be attractive since there will be many cards you dont want. But with your retrieval runs and possibly scavenge, a single fairy could be very frustrating for the aggressive sentry heavy corp.

Lastly a single dino is great to have on the field. But without any cards to get him out, he will be like the super attractive "significant other" that doesnt return your calls and comes around once a month or so wanting money. Either more of less would be good.

I've played Exile quite a lot and his major advantage is taking damage were others cannot been able to increase your hand size by one at instant speed is life saving.

@mcchikinfrenzyI must admit Levy AR seems counter productive at first and you should only be running one really its more about resetting your digging cards like clone chip/test run.

@kaysn I am surprised theirs no scavenge in the deck or a femme scavenge is very useful with test run and femme, allowing a femme into play for 3c and or changing its target both giving you a free draw. you may want to consider more programs too if your going to use Freelance it can be hard to get alot of cash out of it.

Id look at more expensive programs too since your running retrieval run seems silly making a run and paying 3c for a 4c program especially if you take my advice and run scavenge 2.

I've done a lot of dirty hands, and I can say scavenge should be a 3 of, I would run 5 if I could. Test run without femme is a crime, especially in shaper. Ret run feels like a wast of inf over getting good programs. Keyhole, sneak door and imp are all way better uses of inf than return imo.

I think theirs an argument for retrieval run with freelance and some big programs you can get some nice speed into the deck with some massive programs.

That said some influence is needed for the programs i personally think Mr Li is a bigger issue here especially with pro contacts in the deck.

Thanks guys. Did a lot of revisions and came up with a slightly more polished version. Yes, I threw in 3 copies of Scavenge as I went with a program heavy deck. I also kept a copy of Levy just for reset purposes.
