Breakers 'n' Money - Store Championship First Place

A Toolbox Kate deck. Few weaknesses, save for making the right choice at the right time-can be difficult to play. Can hit HQ and R&D hard, but primarily focuses on remote lock, using RDI or Nerve agent as the killshot.

Looks like a mean Kate Big Rig. Very nice.

With all those tutors and drawing cards, do you need a Net Shield? This deck doesn't look like it is scared of Jinteki net decks at all...just draw up and take the hits.

I do like that it is ready for the two types of kill decks though. I might give this one a whirl and see how it plays.

How does it fare against Fast Adv?

The net shield was in there due to a very jinteki heavy meta, along with a copy of dues x. In reality, the net shield was the wrong choice - it'll be replaced by deus X in future versions.

NBN rush decks are a pretty easy matchup if you can get toolbox out. the 3 base link makes short work of most of NBNs trace ice.

HBFA is a tough one (but its tough for any runner, really). Its a matter of how their econ works. Kill Adonis and whatnot always - deny the remote of econ assets and sansan and those matchups tend to go well.

Getting the nerve agent up and running helps alot after you've locked the remote - they tend to draw themselves into a corner, scoring a few points out with biotic, but then not having the money to do much else if they dont have a remote. Thats when you tutor up nerve agent and go to town. If that doesnt cut it, RDI is a good choice either very early or very late into the matchup.

I'm working on a non-resource version of it - Im just not a huge fan of resource econ - opens too many scoring windows.

Hah, Cybersolutions. Someone found a use for it!

Its just there in case you dont see toolbox. Ive only had to install it once, but it increases consistency in a deck that will need MU.

For which purposes are the faeries in the deck? i guess you testrun/scavenge the femmes to overcome tough sentrys. So what to do with the faeries?

Femmes can bypass anything, not just sentries. Faeries are exceptionally cheaper, and dont require any combo, only cost 2 credits to retrieve via SMC, can be recurred in a pinch with scavenge, test run, and clone chip. There is value in redundancy as well, and Faerie and Femme really do entirely different jobs.

@djackman Thx for your quick response. Didnt't noticed, that you can overcome any type of ice with femmes ability (worthwhile on things like tollbooth i guess). Sry for my question i am not that experienced with the game and i am trying to find an strong but not so gimmicky shaper deck for my girlfriend to play with. Would you recommend this deck for getting deeper into the game after leaving the coreset decks?
