YOU'RE FUCKED - I won a game with this deck

Okay now hear me out. I took this deck to a GNK today because I so desperately had no idea what Runner to play that I literally built this at 6am before catching the bus. After the entire tournament I gotta say that Exile's only purpose currently is for jank deckbuilders to come up with engines that are good.. but would just work better in Hayley.

I do genuinely think that this engine has potential though and I will probably attempt to build something workable around it... but probably it's gonna be in an ID that aint shit.

That said, let's bring on the memes and explain why you're fucked

OH IM GONNA MAKE A DECK THAT DOESN'T REQUIRE IMPORTING 12 INF FROM AN... waitaminute.

Disclaimer: I did actually win a game with this deck so I technically know what I'm talking about.

This deck is designed to run around a very simple engine involving two cards: Paperclip and Aesop's Pawnshop.

• Run, encounter a Barrier, install Paperclip from your heap, draw a card.
• At the start of your next turn sell Papercip to Aesop.

Now an acute observer (or anyone who took basic arithmetic for that matter) will notice that this makes us lose a credit. So right now the net gain is -1 credit. Pretty shit. So to fix that we use Sahasrara and Cybsoft MacroDrive to install Paperclip on the cheap and also the Charizard for the combo to eventually net us 4 credits, 1 card for the cost of 0 clicks.

Generally by the time we manage to assemble this engine we're fucked, as explained by the following graph that I stole from tvtropes:

Now that you understand the basic premise of the deck let me walk you through the card choices

• Atman - Didn't install it once, it's way too expensive for the early stages of this deck. I thought it was gonna be a good solution against HB. Turns out I played against 3 Jintekis (PE, PU and Biotech) and 1 NBN (CtM).

• Cyber-Cypher - Should have been Gordian Blade, really.

• Mimic and Sadyojata - I'm considering these two in the same section because there are only a handful of Sentries that are strength 4+ and cannot be broken by Sadyojata. Probably the best deva all around to be honest. If you decide to run those though, probably want a Sharpshooter as well.

• Paperclip - mvp

• Cache - Good money if I get Aesop's before I get the rest of the engine to keep him busy. At max a single Cache can earn you 7 credits (Charizard+Cybsoft+Aesop) which is quite good.

• Sahasrara - gets me Paperclip for free. Eventually.

• Charizard - free money, but you cri evritim when they have Archangel.

• Self-modifying Code - I hear it's a pretty okay shaper card.

There isn't much draw here since Patron generally does the job really well, Diesels are good for a start and after that your draws should be fueled by your engine (if they aren't you're fucked). If you change this deck to some other ID though you probably want at least some additional draw.

Most of the econ here is supplied by Aesop's, Casts, Cache, Temujins and Tech Writers. Although to be honest I think Tech Writers were mostly fodder for Aesop.

Multi-access is done with R&D Interface and it's shit (too expensive), should have gone with something else. Indexing perhaps.

Employee Strike is generally a tech against particularly annoying IDs. Turning wheel is good because it fuels during situations when we repeatedly faceplant into Vanilla to get free money.

(random dog gif for decklist of the week)

Now for the cards that I should have included but didn't.

• Black Orchestra - you were probably wondering the fuck are the LLDS processors doing there. Well they were here for the BO but I forgot to take them out when I took out the BO. The problem is, I really should have kept in the orchestra and tossed something else instead. When the opponent just refuses to leave open barriers, you're fucked so it's nice to have a backup.

• A better console than Mirror - For a while (about 45 seconds) I was legitimately considering The Toolbox as the console, however there really isn't anything amazingly good for this deck. The other things I considered were Astrolabe, Logos, Box-E, Reflection, Dinosaurus and Maya.

• Fan Site+Artist Colony tutoring engine. This deck really lacks any sort of acceleration and I think this would help out a lot.

• New Angeles City Hall - srsly fuck ctm

• Film Critic - srsly fuck pe

• Levy AR Lab Access - I decked myself in every game so I probably should have found two slots for Levy and SOT. Also they're pretty good with Caches.

So yeah. I hope you aren't gonna get fucked, because this thing is INCREDIBLY fun to play. Needs fixes though.

Edit: Oh, fuckbiscuits, this actually got decklist of the week. If you like it, you probably also want to check out the second version.
