This is your fault

I'm glad someone is playing Eddie again! I wonder if Morning Star might replace the second Corroder, just because you're using Retrieval Run. I'm excited to test this out.

Very nice, x3r0! :) I like the 3 Earthrise + 2 Inject draw engine. I really wanna bring Kim back at my local store again. Time to scare off those kill threats again!

Morning star could be good, but MU gets snug, even with zu vs corroder. Typically I'm blasting with 2 mediums at some point, so....snug. I think morning star is less relevant now because people aren't playing eli as much, since shaper is KotH

Holy god, they need to disallow gifs in the text. It makes it so fucking hard to actually read what's being said when random shit is flashing everywhere.

As for actual advice, Spinal Modem is probably really bad in a meta where everyone and their dog is playing tracer ICE.

Not that I'm shitting on you specifically for your use of gifs ^^. Just using this as a platform to vent my frustrations. Sorry your decklist was the one to bear my frustrations.

i play spinal because i put link in the deck to blank tracers, and get benefit...with 3 link ive never lost a trace, plus all the cash. corps will sometimes vamp themselves.

very interesting take

@moistloafI know, it looks ridiculous on paper, but long term players will find it plays like good old netrunner, with some cool stuff going on. You also will find you're begging for a vamp.

It feels like you a play shaper with an anarch influence. I can't find other words to describe this deck. I've always thought Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer to be a very aggressive-early sledgehammer-wielding force, who can potentially win in 5 turns if the corp has no defense whatsoever. So playing shaper-bullshit is fatal for his success.

I'd suggest to change the ID to.. surprise suprise.. Whizzard: Master Gamer The asset hell is still going on, especially since the addtion of Sandburg, Glacier are on the rise. You definitly need to hate those assets. Once your deck is depleted your only economy is Underworld Contact and Kati Jones. A very slow and dull process and you don't want to be there. You want to win before that even occurs.

All in one I think you need to consider your potential card-choices again.

Actually the econ package is pretty fine. You dont need whizzard to deal with assets, it just very much helps. There are piles of money to keep up with both running servers and trashing remote spam. If the corp has enough assets to overwhelm you, and be relevant, they wont have enough ice to worry about. Also, spinal modembdoes a good deal of heavy lifting on the runs.

The ID is for the link, which is the whole point of the deck. Its a massive meta hate against CtM, while still being functional vs a lot of other decks. I have a very solid winrate with it vs palana foods, as well as weyland. The HB Mu is dicey depending on your draw.

The SMC is for aggression, you dont have to wait around for the right breakers to begin brushing your face against their ice. If the deck runs out you should already have a pile of cash from uwc and several turns of kati, and you should be in medium town.

It does take time to set up, but it is strong enough when it gets going. I also am always testing changes to streamline it.

I absolutely love this. It looks like you have answers to a lot of different threats. Do you ever feel like it hurts consistency?

You could swap Wanton for Vamp or Stimhack and see how they work out.

I think Kim is a solid ID choice for this meta because non-horizontal corps switched to operation econ in response to Whizzard's prevalence. And let's face it - EVERY corp plays some operations. The Medium dig boost alone makes Kim's ability valuable.

I only very guiltily netdeck, but this is just so sick - can't help myself. Looks so unlikely on paper, but very nice draw/money balance combined with power to steamroll hq/rd. That's a deck. No feeling quite like trashing restructures/celebrity gifts/consulting visits etc etc etc

right? on paper it looks like card salad, but once you start playing...its good fun.

I love this. I love it so so much. This is exactly the direction I was planning on going with Kim. Link in Anarch is criminally underutilized. (But part of that was Kim and Reina not being very viable. Thanks MWL 2.0!)

I do think that a second Baghat is a must have. That card is perfect for Kim, just makes those single access HQ runs when you are looking for Ops to trash so much better.

Also, Spinal Modem is so underrated.

What are your thoughts on swapping out one or two Queens Gambit for Dirty Laundry?

QG is probably a fine stand in, but it can be played around sometimes, dirty laundry at least is always there. A turn of QG + kati is pretty compressed, DL decompresses economy and attack, which is super handy. Probably pretty close in value.

I'm a fan of any reasonable Kim deck and this one is a pretty refreshing take on the Anarch rig.

The problem's I've seen though is that relatively common sentries these days (Ichi 1.0 and NEXT Gold) take a steaming dump on this rig.

1x Ice Carver is nice, but not seen enough to prop up a D4v1d-less Faust-less Mimic.

Makes me honestly want to run a Cerberus "Cuj.0" H3 if d4v1d is off the plate with influence.

femme breaks them, and if you plan on going through them frequently, you can just scavenge the femme onto them. Im testing a few changes to make the rig more ubiquitous. Some tests include parasite and datasucker, but at the expense of spinal, which I'm not hot on parting with. More to come.

So, after some testing I was reminded of how much I dislike Earthrise Hotel. Even with Career Fair, it's best scenario is having both in your opening hand, which doesn't happen often. What tends to happen most often is I really need the draw, CF is nowhere to be found and I have to hard install EH and take the tempo hit. Which usually I'm hard installing it when I really need economy, which means I'm put on low enough credits that it's hard to actually capitalize on the draw anyway. I just really don't like how slow it is.

Since I still don't have Salsette Island, I am going with 3x IHW and 3x Inject. I don't mind clicking to draw occasionally if I can afford to install my rig.

Dropped Networking and added a Legwork. Not a lot of CTM in my local meta. SOT was too narrow in this deck, so swapped for Deja Vu, in case Inject goes south.

Also, not sure that Dyson is completely necessary right now. I haven't run into MU problems yet, although if Datasucker gets added, I may change my mind. For.now, all I care about is turning on Underworld Contacts, so I slotted Access to Globalsecs instead.

Cujo doesn't seem like a terrible idea. Femme takes care of a lot little sentries decently, sent with the retrieval runs, I wouldn't mind slotting Cujo as a high str sentry breaker for emergencies.

Anyway, those are my thoughts so far. I'm really enjoying Kim again, especially this direction.

v2 is coming, it also cuts cf and earthrise. ihw and inject play a bigger part. we got d4v1d and parasite while keeping networking.

Like just for the flaming hammer guy. That made my night!

Its a fun deck too, i should update it, now that ctm is dead lol.
