Darwin Learns Chess

darkferret 1

I was looking to branch out from the Shaper faction and my buddy told me to give Reina Roja a try. I looked over some decks featuring her and the Caissa progams. I really like the concepts of Darwin Knight decks and the straight Caissa. So I was hoping the merge the two. Advice / Tweaks welcome as i would love to be able to teach Darwin Chess.

E3 combos well with Darwin and Knight. I'm not sure why you also need Corroder and Force of Nature though? If anything, you should consider a Mimic or two to help against Swordsman.

It seems like this deck wants to make ICE expensive to rez, and then make that ICE low enough strength for Darwin to deal with effectively. But does the deck have a plan to win games?

I'd try to get Quality Time or Professional Contacts in here (but not both) to help with drawing cards. Potential dropped cards to replace: Xanadu and Armitage.

Also probably drop 1 Bishop and 1 Rook, I've found 3 to be too many in my experience. That leaves you room for Keyhole or Nerve Agent.
