Core Basic Kate - Break all the Ice

ChaosFarseer 8

This deck is designed to be simple, with minor edits to the default Shaper deck to make it more friendly to new players. No complicated edits or cards, compared to the default Criminal or Anarch cards. First attempts at deck building.

Battering Ram and Pipeline have been removed. They'd stay in the set, for breaking multiple subroutines of ice in sequence, but there isn't enough memory for that. They're hard to justify, hence the other Icebreakers.

The Maker's Eye remains a trick Runners need to get used to - the idea of high stakes running events. However, all the Cyberfeeders, The Toolbox, and Ice Carver all help with making runs easier in general.

I wanted to leave in Infiltration, as I imagine most people would want to break through the uncertainty. Although, if running is cheap enough, it might not be needed. It's also roughly equivalent to Magnum Opus and Armitage Codebusting, as far as credit generation goes.
