dont eat your paintbrush

If you are using Paintbrush with Eater just to change the type of ice to match a cutlery event you are likely working way too hard. The idea is really cool, but I don't think it will be very efficient.

Eater is meant to be a solo act used in combination with run) events. It's a lovely way to get Datasucker tokens, and in this vein you might take a look at this) list for inspiration.

If you want to stick with your original plan, maybe consider running one type of cutlery event (probably Knifed with Quetzal) and using SOT and Déjà Vu to recur it, possibly with Planned Assault to tutor it. This strategy is still click intensive, but likely more consistent, and it frees up some deck slots for interesting run events or more econ.

eater AND paintbrush? hum.

Playing paintbrush with quetz, you only need E3 to finish the job, and you can kill everything with knife, spoon and fork. (sentry get the barrier type, go for quetzal + E3 with appropriate run event) problem is, you cant facecheck. (paintbrush only works on rezzed ice)

OR

You go the eater way, and dont need paintbrush as eater is an AI. then you can add more reccursion like LARLA, CC, SMC to find those parasite and eater.

Thx for the input. I figured I needed to focus the deck more but being pretty new to netrunner I have ideas that sound cool in theory but may not be as refined as they should be. def going to try out some of the ideas. like the idea of only running one type of cutlery
