Rielle Talk 2.0

BreadRising 177

Refurbishing my "Rielle Talk" deck with some needed changes and turning the main archetype into Stealth Breakers. This is a Pseudo Big Rig Efficiency deck that happens to be pretty easy to set up since Kit really only needs a Refractor to be ready to roll.

The idea is to get in efficiently and cheap. Refractor is an insane decoder that's quick to install early and stays relevant. If you start with an opening hand of any stealth credit (Lockpick/Cloak/Ghost Runner) and Refractor/SMC, no early game ICE is going to stop you.

Paintbrush is in the deck for when you're facing giant servers, but it's probably not needed most of the time. The only reason such a situational card is still in the deck is because it goes so well with Kit and it can be an absolute game-changer.

Leprechaun has been pulling its weight as a great memory alternative. Leprechaun is for housing Magnum Opus, Paintbrush, and any of your SMC's. It's basically paying 2 credits for 3 memory. Alongside BOX-E and Omnidrive, memory hasn't been an issue.

Early game economy is important! Later on, you'll be running efficiently with tons of recurring credits, but in the opening stages, getting your rig installed as you run with Refractor gets expensive. Honestly, an opening hand with Magnum Opus alone is worth it because you'll be set for the rest of the game.

Overall, this is a fun deck that is unstoppable if you get equipped with your essentials early on.

Changes: -1 Deus Ex, +1 Refractor

After a few games, my hand size, thanks to BOX-E, was enough to deflect any net damage, and my breakers are efficient enough to break scary AP ICE. Overall, I want a little extra chance to get a Refractor in my opening hand, so adding another copy seemed like decent idea.
