Reina Roja + Shahrazad

Mash 32

Disrupter is a proxy for Shahrazad.

This is a theorical deck mixing Caïssa programs, Rezzing denials and odd credit engine with Shahrazad hosting Caïssa a few nanoseconds before jumping on ICEs with Deep Red

Interesting deck. Seems solid. A few small suggestions and reasoning. Consider Crypsis over Darwin. I have found Darwin to be generally inferior to Crypsis unless you have a lot of support for him (Personal Touch, E3, Cyberfeeder). Since you are tight on cards and influence it seems like Crypsis would be a generally better card since he requires no support other than lots of money, which you have. Finally, 3x parasite with 0x datasucker seems very slow. Perhaps try to find room for some suckers to deal with problem ice.

Those are good points and I cant refute them as long as I didnt test it, but, in theory at least, Bishop is meant to be an enabler for Darwin, a sudden one-shot trash for Parasite, but reusable thanks to Pawn, and Surge is there to surprise the corp again after the Bishop trick.

Still you're probably right about Crypsis because few Ices will be rezzed anyway, so few counters would be needed, I thougth of Darwin because the Ices that will be rezzed won't be costly either.

I would have played both with Djinn to tutor them, but that's one of the problem of Caïssa for now : only a console to help with the MU and no way to tutor or recycle them like Djinn or Déjà vu for the virus, thus the heavy Shaper influence.
