Hayley Moose Shopping — Post-Rotation Hayley

Nothing says Shaper like getting 5 credits, a draw, and instaling two things before your turn even starts. I think this deck’s got legs!!!

This is the Hayley build I've been playing around with for the past couple weeks. I think it may have been learner and meaner when it was using Indexing instead of Deep Data Mining, but it’s been fun thinking ahead for rotation—though not on the corp side, that’s more nightmarish.

What I like about it:

Most corps struggle to keep you from camping the remote, and hitting R&D for an Equivocation draw plus five accesses from DDM feels so good.

The breaker suite is incredibly potent as Inversificator inversificats those Codegates, Paperclip does clippy things, and frankly Na'Not'K is too good for a shaper Killer. Maven is also strong here late game as you will no doubled have 6-7 programs already, and it also functions as a back up breaker if one gets sniped.

Much like the pitchfork days of old, Hayley don't need no Sure Gamble as she's rich enough without it:

What I don’t like:

Despite Hayley's ability, this deck can be slow to set up if you don’t draw the right things early. Aesop's, Reaver (or a SMC), and Moose are all basically necessary for the deck to function. But once it’s going, there’s no stopping that sweet sweet moose!

I’ve been less than impressed with Daredevil as it’s really expensive and doesn’t always fire the draw effect. I’m going to mess around with versions using Maya—because I’m usually just looking for the extra MU—or even Astrolabe, though I might miss the occasional extra draw.

I have a dream of slamming Maven down as a late-game power card, but it really has yet to make the impact I want it to. I’m wondering if it would be better to just find room for a spare copy of each breaker.

Conclusion:

The deck is fun as hell. If you’re looking forward to playing something other than Andy in a post-rotation world, try this out. Even without Indexing, Hayley will always remain the queen of shaper bullshit.
