Ghosttongue Sable

It's a simple premise: one thing you learn right away from playing Esâ is that Ghosttongue is a busted econ card if you install it early, hence the 3x inclusion. It singlehandedly makes your paid run events 25-30% more cost effective (not to mention the ability to play those off of lower thresholds), and often saves you north of 10 per game. However, Crim is pretty allergic to core damage, so I added a couple of Calderas to help with installing that and Zenit Chip JZ-2MJ, since cybernetics don't have additional costs.

Caldera was obviously much better in previous rotations with the insane drip which is now banned or just gone, but it still gets the job done, also having nice synergy with Cezve in PE and Thule matchups where you are likely to take damage mid-run. The one thing this deck suffers from is tags, because with the amount of installs and run-drip economy you are often flying pretty low to the ground. You could consider adding Networking or No One Home as tech for that.

I think the Tremolo inclusion is justified here with this amount of cybernetics: this breaker could be decently positioned into the meta, breaking most ice even cheaper than Paperclip once you have your full rig out.

This is pretty much untested but I decided to post it per request in the stream comments. Let me know if you make any changes and find it working better!
