Cool Deck, Brah

The plan is simple, dig deep and set up a 5 click turn where you always get your creds back, but are also all in on threader. Aesop is mostly to grease the wheels by recovering cash when you need to, it's honestly playing second fiddle at this point, but your secretaries are going to get trashed and sometimes you want to ditch a hotel if state changes and you don't want the cards. Late game you can also often ditch resources that you know you no longer need to burst up on key turns.

When you use brahman to break things with multiple subs, the ideal state is that you're bouncing harbingers, drawing them back for free at the start of the next turn and installing them on Scheherazade like a boss as if you're clicking opus.

Secretary let's you thin out your deck and hold onto things till you can install them. Sahasrara let's you operate on pretty low econ, but I must emphasize you want to use opus to get to 10 credits as soon as possible. Midgame you want to be operating around 30 credits average a turn.

You can sustain drawing 5 cards a turn if you can get up to 5 clicks in the middle turns. At this point you largely throw out what you don't need.

Beth acts like a pseudo pancakes, so the balance is till roughly the same as it was when you'd run 3 wyldsides and 2 pancakes in an anarch deck. The main problem is the setup cost of the draw engine in this deck. The problem with event based draw is that it's event based draw. It eats clicks which you need for opus and it can't be reused.

The way to think about threader in this deck is that it's like an extra click on opus.

What to bounce with brahman 1. Harbinger is best, cheap to install. 2. Late game, sahasrara is fine so long as you leave one on the table as you can chain them into each other. 3. Threaders once you've used them up can be installed using sahasrara credits on dhegdheer or scheherazade for no lost momentum

Swaps: I don't recommend going LLDS processor and bouncing your breakers while weyland advancable ice are prominent, but when they are less prominent you can switch over to that and use brahman to keep their strength higher. If you go this route, you might not keep the harbingers. They're ok and they're free to install, but you might think about aesopsing your UBAX for a SIFR once you've gone through the deck as that helps with the biggest weakness of the deck. You wouldn't keep dedicated processor for this, so you get really weak to high power ice. If you go this direction, you might have rebirth+inversification as a back up plan, too. But, your moving parts go up signficantly. This version of the deck as it stands without the subs is the simplest brahman, install all the things deck.

Another possible direction is a conspiracy breaker that you can aesops. Then when you run you get to install it on scheherezad using sahsrara credits, install your program from hand using hayley's ability. This doesn't work well with high strength things, though, so you'd probably want paperclip, and that has it's own challenges as it will strain your influence.

PROTIP: Don't play vs Jinteki, or lose very fast and say "Wow, you're so good at netdamage, thanks for the game"

Matchup hijinks, If skorpios is just playing small piddly ice with a plan to trash your breakers, 1 just use film critic. But 2, you can run on just brahman if the deck is right and make sure brahman is the last thing you bounce on the inner ice so that they can't ever trash your icebreaker. They can still do plenty of damage, but this is winnable.

Red-unbreakable servers - 1 you have five clicks, so you've got more attempts, but 2, brahman removes the excaliber threat and breaks most grail cheaply (1-2 credits a pop). Your biggest issue in this matchup is going to be chiyashi. You can play without brahman late game by bouncing it on the ice before chiyashi and just use inti+dedicated processor. It's expensive, but tolerable. If you're playing a consipiracy breaker due to subs, then you can bring brahman in after you pass the chiyashi. Once your deck is empty you no longer care about it's trash from the top of the deck clause if it's at the front of the pile. If it's at the back of the pile, you need to bounce brahman or not play with it.

HB, if they don't go lateral or FA you just win. Glacier can't really deal with this deck. If they go lateral, you're probably screwed. If they go FA, you're probably screwed.

NBN, probably too fast to play the normal game. Mull for opus and play with brahman + bouncables so that you can force them past gear checking. Honestly, it'll be rough if you also don't get film critic/new angeles.

Weyland, a really good matchup. Probably the most fun you'll have playing netrunner. Just watch for couriers and if you're meta is mostly weyland, think about dropping the cache for a guantlet so that you can sell off ubax after your setup. That will probably win you the game.
