Chaotic replicator v0.1

pandaman64 30

Neat little deck I'm planning to run at a local store tourney. Noticed that a lot of the stealth cred generators are hardware, and replicator is cool, so....yeah.

Would like to find room for a third clone chip, a third rd interface, and maybe even a legwork or hq interface, but no clue yet what to cut.

current issues with the deck: the deck feels slow. Not yet sure if that's just due to runner error (I am NOT good at playing runner side) or if it's because there isn't a good enough econ, or enough draw, or what.

Looking at workshop/stimhack for possible cuts.

I don't see that much use for Workshop in this deck, so they could just as well be 3 Sure Gambles. Mopus probably isn't the economy you're looking for, the MU cost is too steep for a stealth rig. If you have all your breakers and Mopus, it leaves only 1 MU for Cloaks. Kati Jones maybe?

the issue there is, if I'm not running opus, and my MU is more free all of a sudden....should I even keep this in chaos theory? Should I just go kate or haley? Nasir?

Well... most shaper decks are better in Kate, sadly. The difference comes down to 1 Cloak and deck size in this case. As CT you can have one extra Cloak in play over Kate, and will find your pieces slightly faster. Then again, the 5 extra cards you need to include to make this a Kate deck could have 2x Akamatsu Mem Chip among them. Kate gets more mileage out of Workshop because it allows her to trigger her ability on the corp's turn, installing most of your rig for practically nothing.

If you have time, try both ways and go with whichever feels better.

Something you could consider is dropping the Magnum Opus for the slightly risky pick of Tri-maf Contact. Less actual economy, but a lot simpler to use. You have the double Plascrete Carapace as a backup for the ability

@enk Personal Workshop and Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker do not play nice I'm afraid. Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar likes it though.

And @Jashay would you really recommend Tri-Maf in the current NBN tag happy meta? Seems like a death wish to me.

magnum opus is slow. Really slow. Like....it takes 9 clicks to catch up to sure gamble. If I was running modded, it would be different. I am not, so this is cut.

stimhack/personal workshop doesn't seem to do work here. Since the stealth rig setup is cheap, it's hard to actually put enough on workshop for the 9 cred boost to be worth it. In fact, magnum opus was one of the only things in the deck that could be powered out with stimshop, and it got cut so....

replicator would be good.....except the deck is already small. There's no need for search over draw in a 40 card deck. Gone, replace with quality time or replace ID with hayley

current 'stealth chaos' build: -2 magnum opus, -2 replicator, -3 personal workshop, -2 stimhack

+3 sure gamble, +1 clone chip, +2 quality time, +2 daily casts, +1 lucky find.

May test symmetrical visage over daily casts, and make a hayley centric replicator list later on.
