So, this deck is wild fun. I first played it last weekend and I had a blast breaking all the things.

Morning Star is a monster of an icebreaker, and Paintbrush unleashes it on everything. A strength 5, multi-subroutine pseudo-AI super-fracter without the vulnerability of an actual AI. And it's cheap, too. So, so cheap!

Running quickly becomes a matter of clicks over cash (especially with Spinal Modem installed) and of course MaxX's free draw means she's good for the clicks.

On top of this the cutlery means as cheaply as that ICE is broken, it's also gone. The corp will never feel safe.

For the future, I'm looking at -2 RDI. +2 HQI, -2 D4v1d, +2 Datasucker.

I like D4v1d, there are some nasty ICE that 3 tokens + clicks can't break. I haven't met a Wotan deck yet, but I doubt we'd be friends.

Do you get enough work out of Cyber Threat to justify it over the last two copies of Forked and Spooned? ICE destruction seems super important in this deck to keep ahead of the Paintbrush tax. There are probably 4 other cards you could cut to get to 45.

@FarCryFromHuman Thanks for your question!

Against the corp decks I've played the 7 utensils have been fine, so far I've rarely found myself without one in hand. It's something I'll be evaluating as I play the deck more.

Right now Cyber Threat is the most optional card choice in the deck, no question. It's tough to say when running Cyber Threat more useful than running directly on unrezzed ICE. The card helps most vs unrezzed glaciers, but those aren't common when you're destroying ICE anyway. I'm definitely on the fence about it but that's your easy cut to get down to 47 cards.

45 cards? I might lay off the Injects or the Amped Up, but both have proven handy. Truth is I don't know yet, this deck is still a bit new to me!

I'd run cutlery over Cyber Threat for two reasons:

1: Permanent removal is better than temporary removal.

2: Cyber Threat is 1 for a free access, or 1 to make the corp spend X, which you then probably have to break/waste a click jacking out of. Cutlery doesn't provide the free run but removes the ICE for a similar cost to you, and the corp already paid X so you know what kind of worth you are getting from the play.

3: Additionally, with Cyber Threat the corp gets the choice, and with Cutlery you get the choice.

4: Immolation Script is in-faction.

Haha I can't count.

@FarCryFromHuman A very convincing argument!

Okay Immolation Script definitely earns a spot over Cyber Threat, and if that doesn't work out I'll use the remaining cutlery.
