Data Siphon Kit

Giraffe 141

Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman has been my favourite Runner ID since I first started playing Netrunner, back near the beginning of the Spin Cycle. I've been trying to get her to work well in casual play for ages, but felt like 2 things were lacking: Influence and a way to truly capitalise on her ability to get in early (aside from random accesses). In the Lunar Cycle I feel like those 2 problems have finally been addressed; in the form of Code Siphon and Cerberus "Lady" H1.

The idea of this deck is to get ahead and stay ahead, whilst building towards a classic Shaper lategame. Use Kit's ability combined with Code Siphon, in combination with the other tutors, to get Magnum Opus and breakers up asap, and prevent the Corp from getting off to a fast start. In the midgame, use R&D Interface, Vamp and Data Leak Reversal to pressure all 3 central servers and give yourself all the time in the world to set up for lategame dominance.

Side note: A starting hand of Test Run, Scavenge, Code Siphon and an economy card can get you both Torch and Magnum Opus turn 1, which is rather amusing :)

This is not an easy deck to play, making the right decisions is extremely important to stop yourself from getting locked out early and later on you need to assess when's the right time to make your big impact runs (such as Escher), but once it gets going it can control the Corp amazingly well, and force them to play on your terms. If you like Kit and you like big rig, like any true Shaper should, then give it a go :)
