I don't think you need the Trade-Ins. Just play the one Desperado when you get it. You could use the slots for another Net Mercur and a Kati Jones to smooth the economy there. Mercur is your Desperado.

Heck, get rid of the Desperado and Trade-Ins and play Deuces Wilds. You probably would still want to find a slot for the third Net Mercur, though... not sure where.

Trade-In are early desperados or pre-larla clone chips or sports hopper. Trade prepaid that pay for the event, get a credit with prepaid, and tutor trashable stuff is flexible :). I always prefer flexibility over early stability, because I don't like to be shutdown with lategame.

Desperado makes 3c runs with Mercur. It is just a different card advantage that doesn't make a double with beth or kati or mercur or stackable prepaid or multithreader or whatever stays on the table and doesn't see Larla.

The finallity is : - Gordian mutithreader smoke breaks most cg with 1 free pump - dagger smoke is a great killer with mercur - and lady is still the great fracter it is for only 2 inf. Runs are almost free but you need to be carefull.

I though of Deuces Wild, but for which option ?

Draw power of the deck is 3x diesel + 2 qt + larla + sport hopper + mercur + starting hand, aka 29 + 3 optionnal + 1 optionnal by run, which is 3 optionnal + 1 optionnal by run more than the classic situation in a 40 runner deck so you can't use deuce for draw... Then I'd rather dirty laundry run at max +5c than deuce run at max +3c even with an expose that this nice suite doesn't really care ;)

But I recon I could remove one trade in and a self for a test run ;) (test run ladys are great)
