Stop... Hammer Time! (3)

IMO, you would love to have 3 Imps

I just played a game with this, it was great! I totally agree with you that Faust is perfect for Kim, and the combo with Wyldside/Pancakes is solid too.

I'm interested to hear your reasoning for including Hemorrhage and Utopia Shard. To me, they are both anti-synergy with Vigil.

@Ber Ed is where i first started with Vigil and it always seemed very powerful with Hemorrhage. You see i don't rely on vigil for card draw much the opposite actually i rely on it to force the corp down to 4 cards and thats what I've always found their always willing to do, with only 4 cards then trashing their whole hand is that much easier, so when you look at vigil this way it's actually synergistic with the cards you mention.

@say200426 Imp's ok means you can trash ICE as well but for that ability am not sure i have the room i wouldn't mind a 1 of.

The effect of vigil you draw a card when their hand is full, the impact of vigil is that the corp stays at 4 cards. A 50/50 to hit 1 specific card in the corp's hand is very good. I'd run wanton destruction as a 1 of just to bust up those scorched and biotic pieces.

@x3r0h0ur Hmm I do like that suggestion, I have been looking at changing a few things like Kati Jones for Armitage Codebusting she's 2 slow and I rarely get 6 off her in here at one time. Also i was looking at putting John Masanori in their for a bit more card draw. and so far haven't actually used the LALA so may look at that if it continues.

Here's my rework of the deck. Street peddler is one of the best cards in anarch right now imo. Also, I don't see any reason for LALA either. 3 clone chips let you get back things you want but had to throw away for the access. SMC is good all game for digging for Faust right off the bat and anything else later. I'm just not feeling Gang sign because it's reactive rather than proactive and this deck needs to be proactive. This is also why I added in a wanton destruction. I may add in the 2 surge again because they let you kill ICE when the corp thought they had another turn or two before needing to purge and this deck can handle 47 cards. Stop... Hammer Time!

@HepatitvsJ The Gang Sign's are actually more pro active than you think as they force the Corp to try to get their agendas out of hand before they get more and get clogged up where they will be lost, this makes the Corp too thinly spread as now they have to defend their hand R&D, HQ & a remote from you I feel that gang sign is actually a massive part of the deck.

Like I said earlier I feel Hemorrhage is really powerful with Vigil so I wouldn't want to take that out.

I want to do more testing before I take out Levy AR Lab Access my self but I feel it's something that could go. I hope this deck list works for you but theirs alot of cards I personally like & feel are potent in my list so it's not to my liking. My list helped you build a Edward Kim: Humanity's Hammer your happy with then that's good as far as I am concerned.

You mentioned wanting to replace Kati Jones with Armitage Codebusting. What about Liberated Account? Does the initial cost of 6 make it too expensive? Even though it gives you better burst credits?

@Skitzafreak Yes, I find I frequently have little cash and only need the odd extra credits that's why I was only taking 3 credits off Kati unless I get a sure game off or all three Data Folding I usually don't have a huge amount of econ.

I have tweaked the deck somewhat from this list but are still testing with it and have changed Kati for Armitage and it's helped quite abit.

@Pinkwarrior What are some of the other changes you've made?

@Skitzafreak I've droped Surge for 2x John Masanori a Parasite for a D4v1d and 1 Déjà Vu for a Dirty Laundry. I haven't reposted the deck yet tho as I am trying these things out and not sure if they will change or not yet.

So a couple changes I am thinking are -2 Surge, -1 Utopia Shard, and +1 Plascrete Carapace, +1 Feedback Filter, +1 Imp. The Plascrete and Feedback are because a lot of people around here play Weyland and PE.

I wouldn't bother you have your ability for Weyland plus I've Had Worse and PE you have Wyldside pancakes on top of I've Had Worse you also have Levy AR Lab Access. I've played against a PE deck with the 3.5 and it just couldn't do anything to me so long as you get Wyldside you can just keep piling on the pressure.

@Skitzafreak Imp maybe worth taking tho the Surge can easily be dropped as well.

@Pinkwarrior so -2 Surge, -1 Utopia Shard, +3 Imp seems fair?

@Skitzafreak Sounds fine the only thing is you'd have 1 influence spare then also Utopia is a sort of anti scorched / fast advance card granted its use is less powerful without Legwork. The 1 off Dirty Laundry maybe a better target. unless you have plans for the freed up influence maybe another Femme Fatale or change Dirty Laundry to Easy Mark / Career Fair
