Kit with limited collection

flamvell 1

Hello everyone. I got Creation and Control recently and wanted to try Kit so this is my attempt to play her with my limited collection. I only play with my girlfriend so we are casuals having fun! I am looking for ways to improve this with my limited collection of 1 Core, What Lies Ahead, Creation and Control, Opening Moves, True Colors and Order and Chaos. Thanks for reading :)

Alright, so these might not be rotation proof or even legal (mwl or the leaked ban/restricted list), but here goes

with O&C, you should strongly consider using some number of Spooned (O&C) with Same Old Thing (C&C) in Kit

infiltration might be better off being something like Forged Activation Orders (core) if you can spare the influence

You don't have a console, maybe try The Toolbox (core)

I don't see what you're trashing with Aesop's Pawnshop, probably replace it with some other econ like Daily Casts (C&C) or +1 Dirty Laundry

Ice Analyzer is also not the best

2x Corroder is redundant with SMC

Speaking of SMC, maybe include Clone Chip for consistent ability to SMC and for program trashing insurance

I don't see what Sahasrara is doing for you, you aren't repeatedly installing things, it's probably better off as some other econ

Magnum Opus is an economy engine on its own, I don't think you need it and all the other economy (outside of Sure Gamble), so you can probably choose one or the other; if you choose non-Magnum Opus, consider Professional Contacts (C&C)

Maybe pack Plascrete Carapaces (What Lies Ahead) if you see any tag (e.g. SEA Source) - meat damage (e.g. Scorched Earth) around?

This is decent! Here is what I might change personally:

Omni-Drives are a little fiddly and kind of expensive for what you get in return. I'm not sure what you replace them with if you cut (toolbox is terrible), but maybe you don't need a console. You might want just two mem chips or something to deal with the memory limit as well. Extra mem will allow you to handle a cy-cy targeting a mean remote and still have gordian installed.

I don't think you're going to get a lot of return value on the Saharasara, I'd cut it.

Ditto Aseop's pawnshop. There's not a ton of tools you want to sell in this list except for maybe the random Cyber-Cypher that is no longer targeting a server you care about.

Same old things would be good. That way you can maker's eye up to six times in a game.

This is all just one man's opinion, hope it helped a little.

Also Akamatsu over Omni-drive, leaving you with Scavenge for Femme and Cyber-Cypher, seems like a better idea

Toolbox is awful, but it's the only console Kit has reasonable access to outside of Monolith, which is even more unuseful for Kit. Maybe skipping the console is correct with with akamatsus, but aren't there only the two in single core?

Thanks for the replies :) What are your thoughts on running Anarch Cutlery tools with same old thing? Someone suggested that on reddit. I will refine the deck and republish after getting a bit more feedback.

The advice about Cutleries was from here so sorry on that :D Also what are your thoughts about Escher. I found it underwhelming for 3 credits since my opponent ran taxing ice so I would pay no matter which server I would run.

Preferably, you want to Escher so that you get a non-taxing remote or R&D, which you can then Cy-Cy for minimally taxing runs. Surely there's always something smaller, even if it's like an Enigma or something. And you can also toss all the code gates on one server for maximum CyCy value too. Anarch cutlery tools will help you kill taxing ice that you have to run through multiple times, so that should help with your taxing ice problem.
