ExA.I.le

First attempts at making an Exile Chess build. I like the idea of Overmind, but felt that it required a build around so I've included Scavenge to quickly regenerate counters, Akamatsu, and Deep Red for fast MU bumps, and of course lots and lots of resource based income to keep the MU high.

Knights are easily recur able with pawns and since I find my Knights frequently getting trashed and are great for thinning ice, they are also there to ease on the cost of big Barriars and Code Gates like Tollbooth. Mimic is there purely for Swordsman which I'm finding more of in my meta and makes this deck pretty useless.

Finally I couldn't decide on a final 45th card and threw in Personal Workshop because I find that the pacing of this deck can be a bit funny and often requires a round or two of preping for huge Overmind runs, which is an interesting card to rez mid run when needed, especially for small cheap single breaker ice. It can also be a nice bonus to get low cost hardware or programs for free while you build up resource econ.

I've certainly thought about dropping the Globosec/Underworld contact but liking having the extra link when playing many NBN and Weyland tag and bag which I see a lot of as well.Though I'm thinking the having more workshops or a few SOT in there to get even more milage out of Overmind.

Comments and suggestions welcome, as I love the idea of Exile but always find his performance a little underwhelming. This one has preformed a bit better than others I've made.
