How do you silence a knife?

Based off of mediohxcore's stealth Andy, with a couple of refinements. Utopia Shard is fantastic, and Earthrise has been pretty impressive.

Seems solid! Have you had any issues with Power Shutdown? All your stealth cards are 1, as are a lot of your breakers.

Do you find you get enough stealth credits early game to apply decent pressure?

I honestly haven't played against a deck running it. I don't think it's too much of an issue, just because they can almost never hit your breakers. Sure, they can get you off some of your stealth credits, but are they really going to Shutdown you more than three times?

A combination of Andromeda starting 9 and Earthrise Hotel has been enough to get me the early piece I need to get in. A single Ghost Runner pushes you through so far. Also, there are times when you actually don't need stealth to bump Refractor, and you can rely on Faerie early for sentries, so it can operate pretty well on low stealth.

I'm probably missing something obvious, but why is running with just 1 plascrete not absurdly risky in the current meta (with Blue sun esp)?

@timfast I play mostly in paper, not on OCTGN. Weyland isn't very prevalent in my area.

How do you like Earthrise over Masanori? I've been contemplating it, but I do also want to make a second Plascrete slot - I've been Scorched in 4 of my last 6 games.

@Ajar I REALLY like it. It's actually a fantastic play on turn one, where Johnny really isn't.

If I were to add a second Plascrete, I would get rid of one of the following: Emergency Shutdown, Inside Job, Express Delivery.

The turn one difference is a great point. I'll try Earthrise out for sure.
