Paint It Black

Kit, Paintbrush, Gordian, Snitch & Blackguard

Love the Blackguard and Snitch decks I've played with and wanted to explore other uses of it. I love Paintbrush as well, but found myself needing to faceplant a lot to get ice rezzed..especially late game when ice can really hurt. Blackguard and Snitch help out nicely here, giving me a way to run against unrezzed ice safely. It has the added benefit of helping to keep the Corp poor.

Feedback appreciated!

Wow this is a really interesting idea! I like the inclusion of personal workshop for blackguard, but looking at the decklist you really don't have a lot of targets for it. Most of the time people will use it so they can install things mid run which won't really help you here and I wonder if those deck slots would be better used elsewhere or on econ or another modded. More econ = blackguard gets out faster. Come to think of it, you have a lot of targets for modded and I think a third one would be a great inclusion.

That singleton of special order doesn't really make sense to me either. The only breaker that you really need is gordian, and you have 3x of it and test run so you really shouldn't have a problem getting it out. I would replace it with either a third blackguard or possibly hostage to get kati jones out faster.

Thanks! All great feedback...especially your note on Workshop. Blackguard can be a beast to get out, but I think you're right about just running more Econ.

I threw in the Special Order because I had some INF to spare and wanted to make sure I could pull my breakers since I have so few of them. I'll definitely try without it and maybe save that slot for even more monies.
