This is clever stuff. I'd worry whether it's a bit too clever, but I'd have to give it a few plays, I think. Initial thoughts are that Aaron might work better in place of Citadel Sanctuary and Networking, and that going to 50 for a chance for Rebirth into Leela might not be a bad idea.

How useful is the one-of Personal Workshop?

So @Navelgazer, Aaron is 100% better. This deck was made like a pack or two before he was released, and I published it to link to my friends so we could update it, since it worked decently well at the time. Also why would you have to go to 50 to rebirth?

@michaeln it actually works really well though if you need the influence you could go to savoire Faire. You don't need it early to get a ton of stuff into play, it's real use is mid to late game you host a bunch of birds on it. N Now if you want do Derez something mid run you can always just pop down another in case there's another ice of the same type further in. It also gives you a safe place to store your breakers, since returning a breaker to hand to Derez a Komainu or DNA tracker, only to lose it to a snare feels bad. But now you have a place to safely store your extra breakers where damage can't reach them. It also makes things really cheap if ice analyzers give you one breaker free, another comes in for free off of personal workshop, and you're just banking the employee credits instead of using them to help reinstall.


Sifr is also maybe a good swap. Extra mu let's you just install multiples of each breaker, and Sifr make breaking those big ice all the easier so you can Derez.

The trick is to leave light ice, force them to spend money by attacking every open server, and then Derez bigger ice to keep them poor and in siphon range. And hopefully all these runs give you decent turning wheel counters, if not, single accesses aren't that expensive.

Plus, it's hilarious to just auto defeat some off kilter decks like architects, and screw with next ice and weird stuff like that.
