Are you a Val player still smarting from losing your precious Clone Chips and wondering how you'll get your Blackmail cheese fix now? Well, I have the... a solution for you.
This is an adaptation of an old list of mine, which is based on tech I took from someone whose name now escapes me whom I played against on OCTGN. It uses Shaper's prowess at assembling combos (while keeping the threat of Clot ready) to set up your Bad Publicity and a stack of R&D Interfaces, so you can lock down R&D all without ever having to check its ice. Where that list used Harbinger and Drug Dealer as an overwrought (and influence-expensive) means of generating card advantage, this build has gone back to Professional Contacts to smooth out the rough edges, leaving a sleek combo machine.
How it works is this: with a DaVinci and an Aesop's Pawnshop in play, install Activist Support with DaVinci at the end of your opponent's turn. At the beginning of your turn, you'll get the BP from Support; then immediately sell it to Aesop, so you never have to worry about taking a tag.
I strongly emphasize playing this strategy in Hayley, for a number of reasons:
Other Card Options:
Counters:
Overall, this deck does depend a bit on the element of surprise, and definitely requires some practice to get the hang of (anyone who's played a lot of Hayley will tell you how complicated and agonizing some of her decision trees can be). but some decks simply roll over to Blackmail abuse and R&D locks.

You sir are awesome. I had been looking for some to sneak in Activist Support but could not find a way. In my mind DaVinci was program install, good thing that I have found this deck. |
Greyfield, you are my spirit animal.
I ran a chaos theory deck similar to this. Awesome.
