This is a variation on Steven Wooley's Reina Siphon recursion deck that won Colorado Regionals. I'm still convinced that his deck is the best version of Anarch Siphon recursion currently out there. It's frustrating to play against. This version offers alternatives to the DLR/Josh B. combo in Lamprey+SDB. Any helpful feedback would be appreciated.
Changes and rationale: Sneakdoor Beta + Lamprey, when you get it, can be brutal, and unexpected. Lamprey allows the runner to keep the corp poorer and still access from HQ, which is what you'll want to be doing midgame anyway. They further the plan. As an additional effect, the Corp can waste its turn and clear viruses to trash Lamprey, which is what I've found they do anyway with DLR or Josh B., so the tempo is largely the same. The only difference is that DLR when you're tagged is a LOT better. Lamprey doesn't necessitate an immediate answer, and they might leave it on the table longer.
The 1-off Sneakdoor Beta is not an ideal inclusion. Wooley ran 1-off Indexing, which is superior for his build with DLR. Sneakdoor is expensive and Reina is usually poor. You're going to have to wait until you get a few siphons off to play it, if you do. Though it will force the corp to commit more to archives, leaving HQ and R&D potentially more vulnerable.
Cyber Threat is untested. With Rook, it has potential to open Sneakdoor/Lamprey/Siphon plays. The problem is that I'm not sure it's any better than just making a run blind. You can't SOT it either, which sucks. Seems really bad against NBN and Black Tree Jinteki.
AoA is a very powerful archetype, and I'm hoping that Lamprey is a good inclusion.
Other possible inclusions:
Keyhole. Expensive, but excellent early. Necessitates a Corp reaction, or else they risk falling behind or just losing outright.
A second Sneakdoor for a Siphon? What do you spend that last 1-influence on then? Suggestions?
