"We can rebuild him. We have the technology."
When I first saw Independent Thinking, I was extremely underwhelmed with what I thought was single-use multi-Chop Bot 3000. That is, until I realized, that if you trash one of Adam's directives with it, you get TWO cards for EACH card you trash. We're talking up to 10 cards with a single click here, boys and girls. That's a Duggars for 1 click and 1 credit. That's a 2x quality time for a sixth of the price and half the cards. Am I the only one who sees this? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills over here!
This is a crazy way of digging through your deck. Now the question is, what do we do with it? Faust seems like a good idea, except when you consider that you can only use IT a few times a game and Adam's only in-faction program, Multithreader, is completely anti-synergistic with it.
What if the goal of burning through the deck is... to burn through the deck? Screw tutors, your draw is your tutor. And with that in mind, how do we draw even faster and with some planning? In comes Rolodex. This 0 to install resource lets you plan your draw in an amazing way. After you install it, plan when you will use IT and trash Rolodex as one of your cards, dumping unique duplicates (and maybe even your breakers, if you have stimhack/clonechip on the board) directly into the trash. With that combo, we're talking up to 13 cards out of your stack and into your grip/heap for one click. This deck kind of plays like PP-Kate (in a weird way), using the first pass of your deck to set up while still being able to put out pressure when needed. Use Levy AR Lab Access once you've burned through your whole deck you sexy thing you.
I think the breaker suite is right, set up for late game dominance while ABR + Dirty Laundry/The Maker's Eye can help you pinch a couple agendas through the first pass of the deck. Cards that I'm considering are Harbinger (as an additional card to trash!) and Career Fair (for fast installing Data Folding/Daily Casts when your grip has a bagillion cards in it). This deck is still very much a work-in-progress (love to hear feedback!).

Also, I think part of the draw of this deck is that you want cards in the trash. So long as your clone chips aren't getting hit with the rolodex trash (which you can prevent with a roldex itself), you have the means of getting it out. |

The real win here is using rolodex to plan your draw, but also mill your breakers when you trash, to stimhack them out with cc. |
I like the core of this deck and am thinking along the same lines as you. I think Rolodex and Independent Thinking are going to be really strong is this deck. One thought - what are your thoughts on pairing them with Dr. Lovegood? That way, you blank the Rolodex on the turn you plan to trash it and don't have to trash the cards. If they are cards you want to mill, you can blank another card, but at least you have the option of getting all upside. I'm still figuring out Adam myself, but appreciate you posting this and will certainly comment if I have any additional ideas as I feel we're headed in the same direction.
