Reavershop Ayla

A rebuild of my Reavershop Kate deck originally inspired by this deck: https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/39668/reavershop-kate-1st-at-trotta-s-hobbies-sc

My biggest issue was getting set up, I just found it too unpredictable; enter Ayla "Bios" Rahim: Simulant Specialist. This just seemed the perfect answer, 6 card nvram draw followed by 5 cards and a mulligan means you pretty much always get the critical parts of this deck early.

Set up still takes a couple of turns so there is some redundancy built into the deck with a flexible breaker suite and some damage protection in case you have to run to facecheck ice.

Starting hand you're looking for Reaver (or Self-modifying Code to pull it out of your stack) and Aesop's Pawnshop, money in the form of Sure Gamble or Cache, then Ubax, Replicator, Technical Writer or Wasteland are all really useful early game but not essential.

No Diesel in this deck I find that Ubax, Reaver and Self-modifying Code get me to the cards I need.

This deck needs planning, you always want to be checking a turn or two ahead to ensure your have something ready for the Aesops/Reaver engine to eat, main target is obviously Paperclip, Cache and Daily Casts but if you have clone chip out any program can go.

Replicator is a new addition to the deck, since you've a lot of fairly cheap hardware in there the ability to play 1 LLDS Processor and install all 3 in a single turn suddenly makes Chameleon a very efficent breaker for sub strength 6 ice, and creates great click compression to pull out R&D Interface or Clone Chip or remove the extra Ubax from your stack.

You want to use Dhegdheer for the programs you'll reinstall often, Reaver and Gordian Blade can just be installed normally.

Between Dhegdheer, Technical Writer, Wasteland and Aesop's Pawnshop every install will make you money, I usually pawn Daily Casts before the last 2 credits are used just to make a couple of extra plus the card draw.

I tested out a variant on this on jinteki.net using the conspiracy breakers but found that MKUltra and Black Orchestra were just too expensive to res and use.
