Midknight Express V0.1

x3r0h0ur 8970

Basically tries to reinstill gabe's ability combined with Ken's, using knight to really make it tough to shut down the grifters once they're going. Multiaccess is wanted, something like legwork. I'm still fine tuning but I want to see how this feels to everyone else.

Hmmmmmm. Knight is nice, but between it and Gordian, that's a lot of influence not spent on out-of-faction run events.

2x Plascrete in a deck with no draw makes me nervous.

Blackmail is really nice in a lot of matchups, but completely dead in others since you have no way to force bad pub (not that I would try to shoehorn one in).

Is Sneakdoor really needed?

Why would you spend influence on out of faction events when criminal has all the good ones? What could you possibly want from other factions besides real breakers? The only thing that comes to mind is RDI for constant R&D attack, but 2 indexing should be more than enough if you play well.

2 plascrete can be dealt with, but I agree card draw is the worst part. I'd consider some mr. li action if I could fit out better resources. Sea Source has it's own weakness built in, and economy is it. Just keep the corp off money and you're fine :)

Blackmail is in the 2 meta slots, and I think GRNDL is big enough and problematic enough to merit a slot or two. Other notable archetypes to give bad pub are the kind that go to snap a breaker and then push out agendas after that, so like, grim for instance. It might be a dead slot sometimes, but when its good, its VERY VERY good, and plays with the ID. If it is not good, put in another plascrete and another alias, since sentry breaker=aggression.

Sneakdoor is VERY neccesary to get value out of grifter, since just popping into archives without datasucker means nothing, and you really need 3 servers of pressure to spread the corp's ice out. Never run criminal without sneakdoor IMO.

If grifter proves too hard, slot all 3 as Mr. Li, and suddenly your card draw and low plascrete woes are over. This is still a design concept and is far from playable, especially since we don't have the full card suite, but this is my mental image of what the deck looks like.

Overall the concept should be make money making runs, and cost the corp money by running, just like criminal has always been, this just streamlines it a little.

Hmmmm, yeah, this is more like a Gabe than an Andy. I built mine like an Andy. :P
