Stealth Replicator Hayley v1.2

Fargrim 32

This is the third iteration of my Stealth Replicator Hayley deck. Just because this is a newer version does not necessarily mean it is better. Feel free to look over v1.0 or v1.1 to see if they suit your tastes better.

I have considered some suggestions and my own thoughts to tweak this build.

Important early cards are Replicator, Magnum Opus, and Tyson Observatory. Additional hardware, especially Silencer is great too.

Ideally, Replicator is the first piece of hardware you want to install. Always tutor a 2nd and play it with Hayley's ability if you can afford it. This allows you to get all 3 out of your stack for a and 4 . Never install the 3rd Replicator. With 2 Replicator out, every hardware install allows you to pull all of the copies out of your stack. Hayley will let you install a 2nd immediately if you have the .

Escher is for shifting around ICE to make runs cheaper. The less you have to use Ghost Runner, the better off you are. Ghost Runner is a timer on this deck. If ICE starts costing too many stealth to get through, you will run out of steam.

Plascrete Carapace and Feedback Filter are match-up specific cards that can be tutored with Tyson Observatory. Grab them if you fear net or meat damage.

HQ Interface and R&D Interface are your game winners. They are the 2nd most expensive cards in the entire deck, so be careful not to go overboard installing them, even though Replicator and Hayley makes it easy.

Akamatsu Mem Chip is important to get early because Self-modifying Code into your breakers will be tight on . Try not to find yourself in a place where you have 1 , an SMC in hand, and a missing breaker buried in your stack.

Tyson Observatory has the potential to get all of this hardware out "fast" when paired with Replicator. That being said, try not to use it unless you can take advantage of Replicator and your ability unless you feel you really need for Astrolabe, Feedback Filter, or Plascrete Carapace. Using it to tutor a last interface or stealth chip alone might slow you down too much (and stealth doesn't need to be slower!)

Magnum Opus is your money engine, don't be afraid to use it liberally, especially against barrier heavy match ups.

Do not forget that Hayley's ability works on the Corporation's turn as well! If you find yourself with a breaker in hand, an SMC installed, and the credits to spare, don't be afraid to tutor a program out before their turn ends. Enjoy the 2 installs before your turn even starts!

trust me switch blade is worth it, also cloaks

Switchblade is the card I would swap for too. Especially since you are already running x3 silencers.

Cloaks are also kind of a no-brainer, but can get messy without proper MU.

@Myriad Yes, the biggest suggestion everyone has made is for Switchblade over Dagger. I understand Switchblade is more efficient for big sentries but it quickly becomes too much of an investment in stealth credits when sentries are stacked. Cloak is ok and I'd love the dream of 9 recurring stealth credits, but it is memory intensive and waters down my tutors, that are needed for the breakers. With dagger, I do pay more regular credits to get through sentries but they are more sustainable and nothing in this deck costs over 5.

Switchblade will be in consideration as I play the deck more.
