Lat's Café [Startup]

RenneRaphelotchi 14

This is the first Deck I publish, I don't think it's particularly competitive but it is fun. The idea is to use Paule's cafe to host Botulus, boomerang, Egret and chameleon to install during runs as needed. You can even use multiple boomerangs in a single run this way! Cybertrooper talut is there to give chameleon Str 5, gives link 2 for dreamnet double value and is a unique connection to make installs cheaper. Lots of 2 point cards to use khusyuk, endurance would probably be a good choice but I don't like the card, that's why I chose supercorridor. Pantograph could also be a valid choice since it's a 2 cost but then you need 1 more MU to have everything installed at the same time

Would love some feedback and possible improvement ideas

I've been playing around with Lat Café Chameleon too. The deck looks like a good starting point.

Some thoughts to chew on:

-Imo, you're doing yourself a disservice not playing with Self-modifying Code. It's the best Shaper card for a reason, and it slaps when your deck has utility programs.

-You mentioned you don't like Boat, but have you considered Pantograph? It will likely get you more cash than Supercorridor over a game, and feeds into Khysyuk.

-Pelangi is a strong card, and if you find space for a few Simulchips, they will likely serve you better than Egret.

-Finally, Cezve synergizes very well with a set up Café, lets you install and run for basically free. Cutting one Botulus would free up the influence, which shouldn't bite into your icebreaking capacity with some SMC to fetch it and Simulchip to move it around.

Happy hunting, hope to see how your deck does :)

@HolyMackerel thanks for the advice, I've added the cards you proposed and the deck felt better in my games. Additionally I've switched the 3 diesel for 3 jailbreaks to get some multi-access since khusyuk alone doesn't quite cut it in my games
