[Startup] Stealthy Magician

Been having a lot of fun with this stealth Tao lately. Basic strategy is to prioritise setting up as quickly as possible, as being a stealth deck, your breakers need the Trickster Taka and a Mantle or two up and running before they become effective. Don't be afraid to apply some early pressure with the multi access run events or the Docklands Pass, as a fair few players wont respect early pressure from a Shaper.

I specifically chose Tāo as the ID because this deck is weak to strong barriers especially Brân 1.0, so use the Tao ability when able to move these out of the way. Getting the Conduit down and slamming R & D is probably your best chance of winning, so get those Bran's out the way and go to town. Once setup, running is generally quite cheap, so remote pressure is also an option.

You are more than likely in a world of hurt against some super fast decks, or asset spam like Near-Earth Hub as you won't really have economy to spare on trashing many things. Could potentially look at removing a Mantle and something else to add in a couple of Rezeki's, which may balance out the economy woes a little bit.

Wouldn't have thought this would be close to top tier and there's definitely room for optimisation, but have been managing a fair few wins with it on jnet and I find it super fun to play.
