Hayley Kaplan is going to be awesome.

She has an actual useful economic ability that equates on many turns, to having 5-click turns. It's even more useful than that, as 'instant-install' effects such as clonechip and SMC also trigger installing a card from hand... including on the corp turn!

Her speed in terms of click efficiency cannot be discounted in setting up a rig. In turn, this leads me to conclude that a powerful stealth rig would be highly efficient.

By focusing only on installables and de-emphasizing Events to the vital two (which are good regardless of other factors), we can rush out hardware cheaply and effectively. Replicator gets your multiples out of deck, and installed with fewer clicks (equating at worst, to Kate's bonus since you could always just click for 1 cred or more).

Inside Man is key with Hayley. It's main downsides are 3 install cost, and the general click intensiveness to get the hardware to install with it. No more! By installing him alongside an econ asset (such as Armitage), you eliminate the cost of the install. Then you can install say... two silencers for zero credits and one click later, once Replicator is out. By the endgame, most of this stuff won't be needed, so the one-off Pawnshop cleans up the junk.

If you fear FA, swap out one of the silencers for Clot, and a Stimhack.

I'm also trying to make stealth Hayley work.

Some random comments:

  • Why 3 Silencers but only 2 Cloaks? Your console supports final rig of Corroder, Refractor, Switchblade and 3 Cloaks. -1 Silencer +1 Cloak would be automatic for me.
  • Is Sharpshooter really needed in a Switchblade deck?
  • With Aesop's and Clone Chips -1 Corroder +2 Lady seems really good.
  • It might be a good idea to run a single Mimic to free stealth creds in some matchups.
  • No HQ pressure worries me a bit.

Very strong suggestions.

I was on the fence about it, but decided the added speed of rig-up through Replicator was worth the Silencer 3rd. Cloak is there for a supplement, and may not be installable depending on when BOX-E hits, which you usually want to delay as much as possible. I had to scratch a cloak anyway for card slots.

Sharpshooter is there for early game 'Need to Bail!' or if something weird happens. You can still facecheck turn 1/2 with a Silencer in the deck or clone chippable. I don't like running only 2 Ladys with no scavenge, as you'll eventually risk running plain out of barrier breaking. I'd otherwise try to slot in an Inti. Agreed, Mimic is a strong include. No HQ pressure isn't great, but the cheapest to get is Nerve Agent.

Variant two would be: Swap Silencer, 2 Inside Mans, for Nerve Agent, Stimhack, and either go down to 45 or drop in that 3rd Cloak.
