If your strategy is 100% R&D, seems reasonable to put a 3rd R&D Interface in. More than that, though, you could switch out all of your stealth support cards and just run 3x Cyber-Cypher, which is absurdly efficient already.

@Bigguyforyou518 Certainly see your point. However, stealth cards let me save my money to trash accessed cards without slowing me down too much. And I will still have the option to run on other servers more consistently.

Kraken might work nicely to supplement your Spooned and Same Old Things. With your deep R&D digs you should find turns to play it without too much trouble, and it lets you blast ICE off remotes after you've already used Kit on R&D.

I second @Bigguyforyou518's opinion on Cyber-Cypher versus the stealth suite. Neither is expensive, and setting up stealth is really going to slow you down.

If you find you don't have enough spoons around, switching one out for Trope would let you recur both the Spoons and the Same Old Things (taking you to an effective 10 copies from 6), plus any other bits you might want. If you don't want to spend the influence, LARLA is a less graceful option.

@FarCryFromHuman Trope would be an interesting addition. Thanks for the feedback.

@FarCryFromHuman Kraken actually seems absurdly good, I love it.

I think LARLA is a bit stronger in his current build, because he has such a wide rig (it becomes much more "graceful" if half your deck is out on the board - then it just shuffles back in the good stuff). If he moved away from stealth, though, Trope would be lovely.

Any thoughts on more draw support?

Drug Dealer, haha, always. Stupid 10 influence Kit...

I suppose Earthrise Hotel could make an appearance, or Quality Time, but both are non-trivial tempo losses. Then again so is clicking to draw tons of times... Draw support is more important with the stealth rig, less if you switch to the CC build which requires less support. I think the only way to determine whether more draw is required is to play it.

I echo your sentiments on LARLA, but I do like the CC build better. It just feels like it would run smoother out of the gate, where Kit is best.

@FarCryFromHuman @Bigguyforyou518 So, something like this would be more effective? netrunnerdb.com
