Flashy String Theory (2nd Place Fun 4 All Store Champs)

My take on the String Theory archetype that's been floating around the web. The deck went 3-2 in swiss rounds and 1-1 in elimination.

The major difference in my out-of-faction cards is including Retrieval Run instead of Hostage as another way to bring programs out of the Heap. In testing the Hostage felt like a really dead card and despite it fueling Power Nap for one more cred I really liked the extra recurring power of Retrieval Run.

I decided to make room for infiltration in the deck to allow for safer play. I was very happy with that choice as I played multiple Jinteki opponents and the ability to scout cards was critical in those matchups as well in others to avoid wasting mountains of credits to access a Jackson Howard or some other nothing card.

Finally, I decided to go with two Levy's in the deck so I could discard it if I drew into it early and to have some kind of backup if I lose one to a Snare or some other trick. This really paid dividends in my PE match of the day and in testing vs RP and other decks that draw out the game.

On the whole, this archetype is very fun to play and I recommend trying it if you want to play something that feels a bit different from the more typical decks out there.

Thanks again to my opponents for making the event great and see you at regionals!
