HB Kill 2

Hey I'm working on a similar build for this ID. I wondered if you thought about including Edge of World or Cerebral Overwriter? They seem unpopular but I love playing traps. What're your thoughts about swapping one of those in?

Cerebral Overwriter is fantastic with the 3/5s, cause you can bluff always advance. Edge of world is a SUPER interesting idea, because with valley grid (2 ice), it is almost a guaranteed win. The real thing to consider is, if they realize you are running only 3 point agendas, Edge of World will be much harder to bluff. I think this deck lives on traps, so the more the better.

I don't know that I'd play 2 Overwriters, I think just the one is safe enough. If they see one, they have to respect that any card you IAA could be an Overwriter. Dropping one would let you play the third Jackson.

Also, if you're only going to play 2 Punitives, I'd definitely try to fit some Archived Memories in there. They basically count as extra copies of Punitive, and if you can get to 3x Punitive, I'd definitely do it. I think you could drop EBC pretty safely, it loses a lot of value outside of The Foundry.

On my build of this deck I'm trying to work in Self-Destruct Chips. I also really want to play Defective Brainchips just to really enhance the threat of any brain damage. Thoughts on these cards being added?

Defective Brainchips could be really good, especially with Ryon Knight. I have made some significant modifications, and am continuing my work over on HB Kill 3.

I think in this deck you could probably swap one of the 3 pointers and both domestic sleepers for 3 defective brainchips, but they seem like such a liability to become that 7th point for the runner. However, scoring the card as supreme value, and you could probably bluff edge of world of the runner suspected them.

I think Defective Brainchips goes in a different deck, one that probably just plays 3/1s and 3/2s and plays a Never-Advance game with Edge of World and Valley Grid. Like @thrazznos said, I think they'd be a big liability in a 5/3 deck playing Punitives, as the whole point of playing 5/3s with Domestic Sleepers is so you can play a "2 for me, 3 for you" game with the Runner.

Needs more money methinks. Punitive is great, but if you've already rezzed a couple Gold I'm not sure how you'll have enough to keep them from beating the trace.
