Kate Trade-In through the Rabbit Hole

gloomy85 597

This is a modified PPVP Kate build that I have been working on, and so far it has performed very well against a wide range of corp archetypes. It has the same strong burst economy as any PPVP Kate build but now, with more tools.

Key Deck Concepts: - PPVP burst economy and Underworld Contact for drip economy. - Trade-In to find answers against different types of corp decks (Plascrete, Feedback Filter, E3 and R&D Interface). - Rabbit Hole as the Trade-In fodder to save clicks for finding and installing them all. - Very strong ice breaker suite (D4v1d/E3 for 5+ str ice, Atman for 4 str ice, and Mimic/Snowball/ZU for 3 str ice and under).

All in all, this deck definitely doesn’t have the explosive aggression at the start of the game like a standard PPVP Kate build. However, the ability to pull out answers against corps and the ice breaking power it has after you bring out your ice breaker suite is definitely worth the trade off. Sometimes, you have to play smart by not playing the stuff you don’t need.

Really like this deck. Looking forward to trying it out. Is there a reason why no Clone Chip? I would of seen that for D4v1d.

Thanks for the comment! There is no Clone Chip in the deck because you can't just uninstall D4v1d and bring it back with Clone Chip. So instead, I'm using scavenge to reset D4v1d and you can recurred it with Same Old Thing. You do miss the ability to bring out D4v1d in mid run but Scavenge just easier to use to reset D4v1d.

Ah yes, my mistake.

Interesting breaker selection, I assume you set Atman to 4, and D4v1d deals with anything higher?

That's correct!

This deck is really cool. Is there a reason there is no replicator in here? Hard to find deck space I'm assuming. Seems like it could be good for getting all your PPVP out fast and then also trade in food. This deck can only get better once more hardware comes out. Very cool deck!

After many plays, it's the deck that fits my playing style the most. Thank you for this!
