Mega Boom Kit v0.5

HiggsBozo 517

The gimmick: use All-nighter to make turbo-charged Wanton Destruction runs to punish a lightly-defended HQ and maybe force some ice on archives. This does double-duty as a way to steal agendas and a way to wipe combo cards (Biotic Labor, Scorched Earth) out of HQ.

The final rig consists of 2 Cloak, Refractor, Dagger, either Inti or Cerberus "Lady" H1, and some number of Lockpick and Ghost Runner.

Professional Contacts allows us to find and afford our little rig pieces (Astrolabe, Lockpick, Cloak, Ghost Runner, All-nighter), and Kati Jones makes money efficiently with a minimum of setup and no MU hassle. Armitage Codebusting makes sure we have enough money to pressure the corp and install stuff while we build up Kati Jones and while we're recovering from installing Professional Contacts.

Indexing is a great card. Doesn't matter if "Kit wants to make one run a turn". You'll find windows to make 2, and seeing 2 extra cards makes you a lot less likely to whiff than with The Maker's Eye. Previous iterations of the deck used a singleton Tinkering for this, and it's definitely "the 46th card".

Utopia Shard is awesome and any deck with a lot of draw power should run it.

Stimhack helps a lot with taxing upgrades like SanSans and Crisiums (which really cramp our style with the Indexing and Wanton Destruction).

Inti kind of has to be there for Galahad and NEXT Silver, which will eat your lunch if all you've got is 2 Lady and no recursion, and also generally for people who try and get cute with Ice Wall and Wraparound to drain your counters.

We're too MU-strapped to make effective use of Parasite (or any other powerful single-shot programs), so no Clone Chip.

I really like the idea of All-nighter + Wanton Destruction. To the drawing board!
