Alright, I like the deck's central idea, especially because it looks like it's going to try to be a hyper aggressive, early-out-of-the-gate kind of build. Getting account siphon off early will be key.

Here are some suggestions:

-1 Ice Carver -1 Xanadu -1 Djinn -1 Nerve Agent

And then:

  • 2 Same Old Thing (For 2 more Account Siphon!)
  • 2 Dirty Laundry OR 2 Daily Casts (for extra economy, based on how successful you are at being aggressive)

Thank you for your comments. The issue I feel atm is that I get the breakers too late sometimes.

  1. I don´t think two more Account Siphons are needed he has way too many resources to float tags. And if you plan to remove the tags Same Old Thinging an Account Siphon is really bad.

  2. The economy should be fine although I really like Dirty Laundry in Datasucker decks there is just so much value.

  3. If you draw your breakers too late there are always three possibilities more draw, more breakers, more tutors.

Draw and tutors cost influence (outside of wyldside which wouldn´t be good here, I think). Maybe drop Sneakdoor for some Quality time.

More breakers don´t cost influence but need more room. I´d start with a second Mimic because you want Mimic early, probably you could drop the second Nerve Agent. I think you already have enough pressure on HQ without it. I don´t really know what you could drop next, maybe the Ice Carver.

The point about Account Siphon and SoT I think might hold true here. However SoT could be used for both Account Siphin and Sure Gamble depending.

Dirty Laundry is good, but if I got no breakers or no cash to play breakers Laundry will do me no good while Daily Cast will, so that one is a gamble.

  • 2x Nerve Agent, -1x Sneakdoor, -1x Ice Carver, -1x Xanadu That is 5 cards and 3 influence

I think I want to keep the Ice Carver, it is a good card if i get it early. And it could work well with the Knight on any Strength 8 ICE. Or Mimic for that matter. In a early version I had 1x Ninja instead of 2x Mimic. Not sure if that is the way to go or not as I am low on influence.

I am unsure how to proceed even with the advice =)
