P.h.D. - Pawnshop Hayley Destruction

CodeMarvelous 20021

So after looking at Hayley's ability for a while I came to the conclusion that the best way to leverage her ability was with cheap installs. That is what this deck is all about, most things are inexpensive or are made inexpensive by ice analyzer. The only exceptions being Earthrise and RDI.

There are no sure gambles in this deck because I wanted to get as much mileage out of her ability as possible and Daily Casts is better for that.

Heavy ice destruction keeps the corp rezzing ice for most of the game. Parasites and datasuckers put a lot of pressure on the corp as with your recursion tools you will get the money needed to install parasite from an ice rez. To play this deck you need to prioritize your parasite installs and be willing to pawn and move them with clone chip. Also since the parasites are inexpensive do not be afraid to install two against blue sun, especially on cheap ice, so if they have a curtain wall Oversighted you can stall them taking that back in, buying you a turn to break it maybe.

Nerve agent lets you pressure HQ and RD and in the mid to late game everything you dont need can be pawned for more money.

Cache because you will be likely to install it with ice analyzer and her ability lets you piggyback this econ card onto the same click you install a breaker. it can become a clickless and costless 3 credit gain that you then pawn the following turn for another 3 credit gain.

we have one levy to start the process over again and Kati for late game money. even though this deck doesn't use all the cards from the new pack I still find it very effective and incredible fun to play

Happy Installing,

How often do you find yourself using a click to draw a card? It looks like a deck where will be doing this quite often, seeing as your card-draw is limited to Earthrise Hotel and Diesel, warranting the inclusion of Symmetrical Visage, a truly excellent card.

Not to often. I treat it like a noise deck

@Crazimir I could see cutting one Aesops and one earthrise for 2 of them

@CodeMarvelous I do like Ice Analyzer, though it strikes me that Personal Workshop or even The Supplier could fit the same roll.

27 Apr 2015 Pinkwarrior

The reason i mention Personal Workshop is that this would mean a massive surprise value and boom to your ability able to install cards in the corps turn from your hand even mid run i can see this been a powerful approach.

@Pinkwarrior ice analyzer cuts down on costs and gets stuff out faster I tested this with workshop. Ice analyzer helps deal with hayleys lack of early pressure

Have you considered Sahasrara in here? I think shaper pawnshop decks owe it to themselves never to pay real credits for programs! Maybe take out the Memchips though possibly not? Maybe the Ice Analyzer? I guess the ICE analysers are filling a similar role but I imagine they're a fair bit less reliable.

The other route I'd consider taking for this sort of deck is using 2 or 3x Atman as your breakers.

Also Ice Analyzer stacks.

@MasterAir ice analyzer is zero to install and as such is easier to use Hayley's ability. Also they are not MU dependent. the idea behind this deck is to be able to play immediately.

27 Apr 2015 CodeMarvelous

@MasterAir the original version had sahasrara but I beleive ice analyzer is better for the deck as I can also pawn it and reinstall it (after levy) without worrying about MU issues.

I challenge everyone to try this deck before commenting as it uses an archetype that hasn't been used in a long time. Shaper ice destruction.

OK. That sounds reasonable. 'Rara costs 0 if you get to use the creds immediately too. Obviously the memory is tough, but if you can support it 'rara is up there with the best econ cards in the game.

One slightly whackier suggestion that might warrant consideration is Collective Consciousness. 2 is a pain though. You're right, I haven't tried the deck. It looks interesting, I'll give it a go.

This looks very similar to an Exile build I have been loving for the last little bit. The idea of being able to install two programs on the end of the corps turn is amazing, so I am going to have to give this a try. This looks super fun so thanks for sharing it.

looks interesting, I may give this a spin

I can't buy this deck.

28 Apr 2015 AkAnderson

@Dydra Not picking up Breaker Bay? Understandable.

Love it.

You KNOW you want to use my Worlds tech, drop an Akamatsu for Dyson, drop Gordian for Zu, and gain an MU in the process.

1 May 2015 CodeMarvelous

Could be good @spags

1 May 2015 GreatGreedyGuts

You'd need two Dysons out to get the Zu benefit, wouldn't you? The big shame about Hayley is the 0 link, probably correct design choice, but a small point in Kate's favour.

That said, this looks like a pretty cool list. Look forward to trying it out.

@CodeMarvelous I was discussing it at our league the other day, and our conclusion was that econ was certainly a hurdle to make Haley perform well. I like this take on it. I'll be curious to see how your perspective evolves.

8 May 2015 PaxCecilia

Heh, I've been working on a decklist for a bit and I've finally come to the realization that what I'm trying to build is this deck.

27 May 2015 Arkhon

Is it essential for Datasucker and Parasite to be 3x each? Any value in perhaps cutting one of each to spare some influence and card slots?

I modified your deck "Pawnshop Bookmark Hayley" (look on Inspiration for).
Remove Earthrise Hotel and Plascrete Carapace. Cost too much.
Add 3x Bookmark, cost 0 credit. I think it's a better choise to draw card and protection self in one card.
BTW: Aesop always sales Bookmark if necessary.
