Damn, I'm good... enough [Standard]

This is as good as I can make it. Huge thanks to PiCat for the inspiration and conversation around playing this ID.

Last iteration : -2 Avgustina Ivanovskaya, -1 Cookbook, -2 Fermenter, -1 DJ Fenris, -2 No One Home, +3 Strike Fund, +2 Climactic Showdown, +3 Stoneship Chart Room. Climactic Showdown will allow you to see 4 cards in HQ and R&D with Divide and Conquer!

The quote of this Nathaniel "Gnat" Hall: One-of-a-Kind is probably the best for a runner. Considering the difficulties to make the ID matter, it fit even better when you'll win a game with this deck.

Game plan : Challenge EVERY centrals to multiaccess and win.

Mulligan plan : you have to be able to play 3 cards from hand. We want to trigger the ID on turn 1, if possible.

Now, let's face it. You could do "good stuff" anarch, with a blank ID, and it would probably be good enough. This is not what this deck is about. We want to trigger the ID to have "self" Smartware Distributor. But to do that, we have to play in an unsafe way (2 cards in hand at the end of the turn).

This is why we have No One Home. While it will not protect us from Punitive Counterstrike or Clearinghouse, it might work for Reaper Function and Neurospike. It can also help against Oppo Research.

With Docklands Pass and eXer, we can see 2 cards from centrals. Those cards synergize with Divide and Conquer. With those 3 cards, we are a threat on every centrals, forcing the corp to spread itself.

Avgustina Ivanovskaya is there to add some annoyance to the corp. Along with Cookbook, those cards could be replaced by Strike Fund or Climactic Showdown. If you take out Avgustina Ivanovskaya, replace also Fermenter by Raindrops Cut Stone.

Personnaly, I like Avgustina Ivanovskaya because it "trim" a bit HQ usually, which makes Divide and Conquer runs matter more.

Botulus goes for the innermost ice of centrals, Boomerang and Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga will help us deal with the outermost.

Here are everything that was tried in 15+ iterations of this deck :

• Chastushka, so that we do not interact. Issue: we need to do MORE sabotage for a sabotage 4 to matter.
• Stargate, again so that we do not interact. But we will be able to make at most 3 runs with it, so it does not do much.
• Finality, for more multiaccess. Tempo negative (trash a card from hand). You can pull it off, it really work nicely.
• Matryoshka, along with Leech and Trickster Taka. Fairly good, it is a 10 cards allocations of slots.
• Big rig with Cleaver. Buzzsaw. Echelon, Leech, Takobi or K2CP Turbine. All of this used with Patchwork to use the unused breakers (3x each). That is 16 cards allocation of slots. Did not do well.
• +1 cards for Boomerang, AirbladeX (JSRF Ed.) and No One Home. In practice, the 3rd AirbladeX (JSRF Ed.) was clogging the hand. I need to be able to play most cards and could not.
• Strike Fund, which synergize with Tsakhia "Bankhar" Gantulga and Patchwork. But I made the choice to go for Fermenter, since I took Avgustina Ivanovskaya.

Nathaniel "Gnat" Hall: One-of-a-Kind is 6 years old ID (from 2018). The meta has changed dramatically since then. The best incarnation of this ID was done by Klokotze, in my opinion. It was such a janky way to play the game. I tried using this ID 2 years ago, and it was ok, just like this current deck.

Again, thanks to PiCat for showing me the inital deck and chatting to theorycraft on the archetype. We both really like this ID (it is my favorite).

The flavor of this ID is very nice, but a bit complicated for the ID ability to matter, because there are so many threats that keeping a low amount of cards in hand is a big risk.

If you try this, I hope it works out also for you. That was a fun challenge for me.

Cheers!
