The Rig

  • 1x BlacKat
  • 1x Refractor
  • 1x Dagger
  • 2x Cloak
  • 1x Magnum Opus
  • As many sources of recurring credits as possible

Why?

Because you're getting in anywhere, every turn, for close to free. If the corp starts stacking one type of ice on a server, just Escher and rearrange (dropping a Ghost Runner if necessary). Or pull Gordian/Inti/Pipeline out of your pocket and install that.

What else?

This could totally work in Nasir with +3x Personal Workshop +2x Mem Chips (maybe swapping Maker's Eyes for R&D Interfaces). Not sure how it would react to the credit resets but I bet it would be just fine.

Disclaimer

Haven't tested this. It might fall flat on its face. It might not.

The Future

Shaper stealth console when?

Why no Plascrete?

I forgot. Also you should be rich. Take 8 more and you're pretty safe from meat damage kills.

Note that BlacKat and Refractor have incredibly decent base strengths that let them work without stealth credits early on. Dagger is the only breaker that really needs stealth to function, and by going all-in on stealth, you have enough Cloaks and Ghost Runners to tide you off until a Revolver comes online.

I like where this is going, but my question is: what's the early game econ strategy here? Test run out a Magnum Opus and hit it a few times? Other problem I can maybe see it having is going to be recurring those ghost runners against a big ice deck, but that's something that can't really be tested until the cards come out.

Yeah, you want Magnum out asap, and between test run, self-modifying code, quality time, and the 40 card deck size, you should be able to find it.

And you shouldn't need to recur Ghost Runners. They're there as a temporary stealth solution when your hardware isn't out yet, and maybe for the late game Escher run to keep any one breaker from being too heavily strained by a single server. Your final rig could have 4 recurring creds that a single stealth breaker can use, which should be more than enough for the majority of turns. Ghost Runner is there for emergencies only.
