Black HacKU.S.A

I love stimhack/Chaos Theory decks, and I love decks that have a "real" endgame. I've been enjoying the Blackguard/AnkUSA combo, but I've been finding it a very long and time consuming rig assembly. By including the Artist Colony / Fan Site suite, i've been able to not only play all the cards I'm drawing (I'm now playing 15 zero cost cards), but I'm able find the remaining pieces of this incredibly Christmaslandy combo. Besides, I had to be honest with myself, I wasn't going to be scoring anytime soon so I might as well let them score first and get some free tutors! Thanks for looking and any suggestions would help!

Stimhack I love the speed this card can bring a deck. Sometimes playing a card like this is almost like getting four clicks (9 money is 3 clicks with a full Au Revoir suite, plus you get to run). If you're still scared of fast advance these could be Clot + R&D Interface number 2. However, swapping them out will slow you down...

Leprechaun This guy is not completely necessary, but many times you get jammed up memory-wise and can't use a SMC or a Hyperdriver and they just become dead cards in your hand without him. This brings some late game life to cards that would otherwise be dead. With so many combo pieces SMC can be useful long into the game, but only with enough memory.

Self-modifying Code Its important that you use your first couple tutors to complete your Au Revoir / Snitch combo. 1 SMC and 1 Clone Chip, or 2 SMC and you can Stimhack a Snitch and a Au Revoir, and if you have 1 more

Au Revoir / Snitch I can't stress how much of this deck is based around assembling this powerful money gaining suite. I've thought many times about trying to pull this deck off with Magnum Opus however, each time I play I find myself just barely having enough money to do everything as is. LMK if you've tried MOpus.

Blackguard Be careful slamming this guy down too soon! Once you lock in the combo there's no going back. You'll want to make sure you've gained a good amount of $ with the Au Revoir / Snitch suite because going down to zero after playing Blackguard you can sometimes run out of unrezzed ice or unprotected servers before you can get enough money to start abusing Ankusa.

The Turning Wheel great synergy with Snitch. Notice its says "whenever a run... 'ends'" not "whenever a run...is successful"

R&D Interface Shaper decks often love R&D lock. Seeing two off the top of R&D is the minimum necessary to accomplish this strategy. 2x R&D Interface is the minimum you can play if you want to see this card every game (this is based on my deck building theory only. You might have a different one lmk!)

Levy AR Lab Access I've thought about playing a LARLA, but I really think this deck should be able to function on one time through it. Cards like Stimhack, Hyperdriver, Daily Casts, Sure Gamble, Clone Chip, Same Old Thing make me want to play it.

Again any help is welcome, lets have fun!

I can't figure out how link back to decks right now, but a huge thanks to MasN for posting https://netrunnerdb.com/en/decklist/36354/ankusa-dek
