Taking Off Kit Gloves 0.2

Pinkwarrior 2351

After some good advice i managed to find a direction to take the deck and trim some programs out. No doubt this will not be the finished deck but i think it's a place to start.

Feel free to comment.

Alright. Some questions: Why the inclusion of Datasucker? Why did you dropped Paintbrush and lowered Tinkering down to 1? How good are the Net Celebrity? (note: I love that card) Why drop Femme Fatale? Altough expensive, it ables pressuring plays, making you able to bypass the innermost ICE, while the other are busy being decoded.

I myself don't like Indexing in Kit. Reason is, you have to make a run to arrange the cards and then you have to make another one to reap the rewards (agendas, or important trashable assets), in this line of play, you'll use up Kit's ability on the first run, which then will raise the probability of unsuccessful access on the second run. Especially if the ther server is double ICE'd. With Planned Assault in deck I like to have one Escher, it really screws the Corps ICE placement and will make you run very cheaply. Also, if you don't threaten their hand that often the run should be fairly easy to make.

Maybe you should open some space for Inti. I don't know if you see a lot of the yellow fellows... I know I do. And they always pack Wraparound... We are seeing the birth of a powerful, powerful deck. But I'd like to understand some of your deck choices.

@rui_barreiro_ in answer to your questions Datasucker because of atman after the initial assault with codegate breaker i figure am gonna be relaying on atman to make use of indexing. Atman needs datasuckers to work really sure she can get through alot when set right but the data's needed for any real work.

Taking out paintbrush i wanted to see how the deck runs without it first plus it frees up the need for MU as much.

I don't know about net celebrity really as it stands alone but its a cheap current that can get rid of cerebral static which can really screw with kit. As for femme i love the card too but am not sure how much i will need the bypass tbh i had thought about dropping yog of all things tbh for femme.

No Inti, yeah that was actually an oversight on my part though its rare i see wraparound in my group.

I've was play the MA regional version of Kit and it was very strong. The main take away I have from playing the deck is drop ALL economy beside 3 Opus. Mull all hands that don't have an Opus or SMC/Test Run to get it. The deck also played Vamp because of the econ. You'd probably need one more Leprechaun to accommodate the MU. I know dropping Sure Gamble and Dirty Laundry sounds crazy, but I suggest giving it a try.

@pizzashark ill give that a go at some point dropping sure gamble sounds odd, i wouldn't say crazy. Each runner differnt after all Nasir for instance i found sure gambles to be pretty useless till late game dirty laundry's however were amazing.

Anyway thanks for the comment.

@rui_barreiro_ i've read what you said about indexing (a few times now) but i don't get what you mean about indexing raising the chance of you getting an unsuccessful run after the first run?

@Pinkwarrior I think he means that after you get an index run with Kit's ability it will be hard to get back in to score agenda's because you've already used the code gate ability. I agree with this, but if you go with my earlier suggestion of just running opus for exon indexing is great. It allows for early pressure without dropping below 5 credits to play Opus first turn. Late game your econ advantage should allow for multiple runs to get the last few points. In short, maker's eye is probably better in your current build, but I'd suggest indexing if you drop your other econ for the all in on Opus plan.

@pizzashark yeah you've already used the ability on the first run but it lasts all turn so unless they have an unrezzed ice in which case it's not a good time to index imo anyway then you should be fine getting back in, that's why i don't get the comment.

I really like indexing, tho id run keyhole if i felt i could but its a lot of influence and MU on a faction that has indexing so i can't see the justification my self.

I feel the opus is worth exploring i would gather that you can't use paintbrush with that build? as you'll be using clicks all over the place.

well had a few games and it was pointed out to me that kits ability is until end of run not turn like i thought so now the comments make sense to me wow what a massive oversight on my part. I feel i can still make use of indexing just been abit sneaky with it putting agendas 3 or 4 cards down and waiting not the best way to use it mind.

Mainly i've found i have little cash flow and loads of clicks so the opus all in is looking like a good way to go for me atm.

@Pinkwarrior, read her text again. That's how I thought it worked too for a while.
