Nexus Kate or how I learned to love 3tier cards

MoreBetterGooder 85

Another Kate Security Nexus deck! Yay /s. Wait... what if we could turn Security Nexus into an econ card? With Kate, Rabbit Hole, and Security Nexus you're already making the corp pay to be able to break ice. With the addition of PowerTap now you get 3 credits more for their trouble. Essentially this gives you 8 link, or 5 link and 3 credits. If this only worked with Security Nexus it wouldn't be worth it. But what if when ever the corp initiated a trace you got 3 credits? Ash 2X3ZB9CY? Thanks, I already have the link to beat your trace, and now you paid your own trash cost! Ichi 1 or 2, thanks for paying for me to break you! Caduceus, thanks for the 6 credits bro! News hound, Archangel, Gutenburg, Assassin thank you again! Plus having 8 link really messes with any corp playing Midseasons and or Sea Source. So here's a card by card breakdown of the deck, and any feedback or collaboration is appreciated!

Career Fair - because 15 resources

Levy AR - this is here solely because I'm a Shaper at heart and its never a real
Shaper deck with out Levy AR.

Modded - Lots of 4-5 cost programs and hardware so duh,

Sure Gamble - has the prophet Dan D. not taught us anything.

Clone Chip - Its nice to over draw and ditch or to recur Clot

R&D Interface - Cause R&D pressure, many games are won this way

Rabbit Hole - Cheaper than Dyson Mem Chip, better than having to pack 50 cards as Sunny and thins your deck. Security Nexus - not always used but often allows you to bypass shit ice such as

Toll Booth, Curtain Wall, Orion (lol jk, no one plays that ice) or any shit ice that over taxes Lady. Also serves as an econ card (along with Power Tap) on single iced servers.

Daily Casts - Cause 5credits is good, 8 with with Career Fair is fantastic.

Earthrise Hotel - Getting 2 cards at the start of your turn is good, paying 1 credit with Career Fair is fantastic.

PowerTap - A secret econ card that you didn't even remember existed till I posted this. Spend 6cr and make any where from 9cr the low end to 20+ on the high end with the added bonus that often Corps wont rezz traces or Ash so there can be an incalculable amount of credits there.

ProCo - Cause I'm a die hard Shaper and love the econ this card gives.

Underworld Contact - Who doesnt like credits magically appearing at the start of their turn.

Atman - 5 for Haas, 10 for BlueSun, 6 or 7 for RP, 6 or 5 for NBN. Anything else, scout and see what gives you problems. If you're playing Shaper without Atman you're doing it wrong!

Cerebus "Lady" H1 - Arguably the best fracter in game right now

GS Shrike M2 - 2 reasons. 1. because fuck Cyberdex Virus Suite and Mimic. And 2, as a cloud breaker this saves a memory slot.

ZU.13 KeyMaster - 1 install, cloud breaker because I got recurring credits, and Nexus to tackle anything higher than str4.

Clot - #slottheclot

MagnumOpus - ProCo and MagOps in the same deck!?! Once you're setup go credit crazy to power Nexus. Plus who doesn't like econ on demand?

SelfModifyingCode - Cause #Shaperbullshit!

Looks really fun. With only nine events and no Trade-In, what about trying this out of Hayley?

A great idea, the dbl install would certainly speed the deck up and magops would help shore up the econ loss from not being Kate.

Take my like. I played against this deck a couple of days ago and I must say, it's pretty solid. Lost to an HB only because of caprice! Rendered useless Ash, Assassin and Tollbooths/other taxing ice and had the remote locked. Also lost a game against Sync but that's only because of astro-train. Gutenberg and midseasons became blank cards
