Mythras 317

Managed to win two Store Championships this weekend with Stealth Kit. This list is based on a list by higgs_bozo that I found on Stimhack. I tweaked it a little bit to fit in Legwork.

Over the weekend:

  • - 5 wins, 1 loss against HB:ETF (mostly standard lists with GFI, BBG and Ash/Caprice)
  • - 1 win against Gagarin
  • - 1 timed win against 5 Agenda Punitive Blue Sun
  • - 1 loss against Haarpsichord

In my experience the deck sadly almost automatically loses against Haarpsichord Kill lists. Could maybe tweak it for that matchup with Plascrete, Artist Colony and Film Critic but I'm not sure if that would be even enough. And it makes the Glacier matchup a lot worse.

HB and other Glacier decks are usually a really good matchup. Using the Stimhacks to trash their early Campaigns or to push through big R&D or scoring servers with Ash. Having Refractor and one stealth credit out early is really good at finding the first agendas. Just poke HQ and R&D, ideally with Dirty Laundrys. Finish the game by digging hard in R&D even through four pieces of ICE.

Most of the time the deck wants to do only one run per turn, so clicking through Bioroids to save some money often seems to be the right choice.

Glad it worked out for you!

Thanks for posting. Was the Lucky Find (and 1 stim I guess ...) worth not having a parasite to deal with ice like Tour Guide, Ashigaru, etc. that can really tax your rig?

The problem really lies in finding 3 influence to cut for the parasite. You don't want to cut a Stimhack. The economy it provides is just too good in glacier matchups.

Also Parasite without Datasuckers does not do much against most decks. Especially HB only really has NEXT Silver which dies in a reasonable time frame to Parasite and a lot of HB lists don't have NEXT ICE.

Against NBN you could kill Pop-Ups (which are often replaced by Special Offers nowadays) and Wraparounds but it's not worth it to cut 3 influence for that. The stealth rig should be able to get you into every NBN server for (almost) free anyways.

The matchup were you really want Parasite are Gagarin (for Tour Guide as you said) and maybe Jinteki (for Komainu) but those are fairly rare. Even then I think I would go with -1 Legwork, -1 Corroder, +1 Parasite, +1 Lady.

I just noticed something: No clot? How does that work out for you?

Surprisingly there is not a lot of Fastro here atm. But you could always slot the clot instead of Legwork or Lucky Find. I really like Legwork in Kit, so I think I would take out LF then. Even without Clot the match up might be ok. Just try to get a R&D lock asap and use the stimhacks to trash Sansan. The ICE should be no problem and Legwork helps with sniping fast tracked Astros.
