Conspiracy Nut

Exile: Streethawk has always been a bad ID for a simple reason: you can only trigger his ability a few times. Sure, you've got Scavenge and Clone Chip, maybe even Test Run. But then what? Retrieval Run? Pawn?

Then we got Paperclip. Self-recurring insanely efficient icebreaker? Yes, please! Then Black Orchestra, but Shapers have Better Options for no influence. Now we finally get MKUltra, which isn't the best killer in the world, but it's cheap to install, and it also self-recurs. So how do we profit off of that?

Most obvious is Aesop's Pawnshop + Sahasrara. Sell em, then install them for cheap. Throw in Scheherazade and Technical Writer for a couple extra s. Sell em, then draw cards and gain credits for running!

Scavenge/Clone Chip + Cache can also earn a couple s. Also, with LLDS Processor your breakers get a nice boost every time you reinstall them! So of course, throw in a Chameleon on top.

What to do with the rest of the deck? Paricia 'cuz asset spam is a thing (and you can always sell/scavenge them), Beth Kilrain-Chang 'cuz she's good, The Gauntlet as the console for HQ pressure & in one (meaning 2 HQ pressure cards instead of 1 for 2 influence,) Plascrete Carapace to live through any missiles thrown our way, and some basic econ stuff.

If you anticipate Ark Lockdown or Chronos Project, you can always limit your trash-install process to your own turn: only sell the icebreakers with Aesop's if you're going to reinstall them the same turn.

Oh, and you get 1!

Not top tier, but I think it's good enough to have some fun and win some games.

@Effin_Antz this might give you some ideas! Very slick setup with solid econ.
