Painting on a Dinosaur

One thing I'm not sure about is the last 3 inf in this deck. Should it be Imp or Stimhack? I went with Imp here because I feel like the deck will run cheaply enough most of the time and there's not -too- much expensive stuff to ride on the Personal Workshop to spit off with the Stimhack, while Imp could be crucial in killing things like Sansan or Punitive, or just clearing out money from R&D during digs. That said, Stimhack is beastly fun and a real surprise for the corp, usually.

Advice?

@linuxmaierPersonally i think imp though your income is very low no opus or kati could cause you issues in the long run.

I'm not convince of the need of Personal Workship in a deck that doesn't have Diesel and/or Quality Time. You're basically going to use SMC for every programs you need because you have 1 copy of each.

Depending on your playstyle, I think replacing Corroder for Inti could save you 2 influence as you're not going to rely on it a lot. Most of the time in a Kit deck with Paintbrush you'll find yourself running with only your Decoder out until mid-late game. It might be not the case for you but this is how I learned to play Kit with Paintbrush to maximize her ability.

Femme Fatale is a good choice, I like this a lot with Scavenge. I'm going to splash it now as you deck gave me new idea to try out.

As you already use Nerve Agent, Sneakdoor Beta could also be a good add on if you can find a room for it. It's a surprising splash in Shaper and even more dangerous with Kit who need two ICE deep to be slowed down.

@Pinkwarrior I've run a different version of this deck (with Morning Star instead of Corroder) for a while and never had money issues. Professional Contacts plus Dirty Laundry and Hedge Fund do enough, since it's pretty hard to tax this deck.

@Exo Personal Workshop has done a lot of work for me with regards to Dinosaurus, Femme Fatale and R&D Interface, along with Akamatsu Mem Chip and Plascrete Carapace. Basically, I never hard install anything (except via Self-modifying Code or Test Run/Scavenge) and always dump to the Personal Workshop first. That way I can backload the need for cash while frontloading the click, and only pull it off when I need it. Another synergy there is that I can use the credit from the Professional Contacts click used to replace the card I will eventually install to pay for the card its self. While swapping the Morning Star for Corroder will make my runs more pricey, the deck in its previous incarnation ran very very cheap and I expect this will only be slightly more expensive. We'll see, though; I can always add Kati if I find it running low.

I'll see how often I end up abusing Paintbrush to Yog.0 through; ideally it will be a lot but I often find that I need to be more flexible for those turns where they trash the Yog and I have to go fetch it again. If this works better, though, I'll definitely swap it in and grab some more influence elsewhere (maybe for the Stimhacks!).

Sneakdoor Beta wasn't a card I considered at all, but it's an EXCELLENT idea. I think I'd need Leprechaun or CyberSolutions Mem Chip in the deck to make the memory work out, but it would indeed be a killer play late game (or after a Fast Track). I'll have to look at that option more closely.
