Ken's Shadow

DrJekyll 34

Missing: Ken "Express" Tenma

Some believe Jinteki had caught up with the runaway clone and made him disappear but rumors spread that he has been spotted on the shadow net likely working from somewhere within ChiLo, the free city. Only in the depths of the shadow net do clones dare talk of freedom through equality and fan sites are dedicated to Ken standing as a new symbol of hope. However it is not a pleasant place, rife with criminal activity from gambling to drugs and even nightmarish AI programs that will help runners dig deep into illicit data available provided you have the coin to pay them.

Fairly simple aggressive deck, get money to power mammon which is used for big multi-access runs (5 if you go deep data mining with desperado out) or to make more money for later accesses. The deck has Aaron and drug dealer for draw power and some event recursion to keep the multi-access pressure up. Mammon allows for quick set up to close the game as soon as possible but it is very greedy which is why e3 implants are important and I've packed a kati for insurance. The shadow net can act as a data dealer by playing a sure gamble for free or can also be used to recur a key run event. I also just prefer public terminal to prepaid for 1 less credit but that's just me.

Not the most competitive deck and has some tough match ups (a lot of Jinteki decks humorously) but its some fun fast paced high risk running. Happy to hear any suggestions about how to improve this deck in progress.

So, what about Turing?

Thanks for the comment, I had thought about packing a redundancy for ICE like turing but then what about swordsman or wraparound and I ended up back with a full suite which I didn't want for this deck. I decided turing was clickable if it came down to it and hopefully the opponent thinks we have a backup breaker and plays it on a remote where it doesn't bother the game plan too much.
