Kate Temu Chang v2

Seems Good.

Loving this deck atm only thing i've had trouble with is levy getting sniped by net damage so might try squeeze in a SOT idk what do you think could be swapped for it?

Any tips for playing against CtM? I cannot seem to get traction. Is Paricia worth a x1 if I have a lot of CtM around?

@Myriad a buddy of mine did play a pair of Patricia in his Hayley stealth list on Jnet and did rather well against CTM, but I'm not sure how his game concluded.

Yeah, I cannot see how I can get ahead in that matchup without at least a x1 Paricia. I would probably have to drop an indexing, an SMC, fan site or an astrolabe to fit it in this build, as everything else is pretty non-negotiable.

On the plus side, I have been loving the Artist Colony. No more swapsies into a GFI with Exchange of Information.

@Myriad When I play against CTM, I usually just check remotes to trash the 2-cost things: Sensie and maybe Bankers. Also, kill the Jacksons (or make sure you know where they are. FTE + Indexing is the way you win this matchup. Search for the Cyberdexes and parasite all their Resistor (so that when you go Tag-Me (if you have to) you don't get locked out. You should be able to clot-lock their remote and just sit back for money. They can't ever EOI you as you can just sac their Food with Colony and wait for them to try to score out. Don't get too greedy with your trashing. Letting them bottom agendas is fine. Leaving SanSans is a tough choice, and I usually leave them until it's absolutely necessary. Remember, the key to that matchup is setting up FTE + Indexing.

I think you could realistically add one Paricia. The R&D Interface could get the axe, or one of the Daily Casts/Fan Sites. You should always be on the "Parasite the shitty Barriers" plan with this deck (leaving wraparounds and Vanilla).

@ChewieRealistically, you could cut the R&D Interface I guess, but I just try to win before I lose all my cards, if that happens. I think the deck has a rough matchup against IG unless you can parasite early and find Indexings. There's some tweaking to do, but I think the meta is coming back in favor of standard-ish decks like this.

Good lord, HHN is just broken... I thought Beth might help, but no, they intentionally drop their money to less than 5 when they throw the HHN... So you still have to spend a turn clearing tags while they score an agenda or otherwise set up more 2-cost assets...

Like... Even with 20 credits after trashing all their money assets, they still had enough to land the trace and now I can't trash their stuff... Is the plan to always try to match their HHN trace and just take the CtM tag and clear it? (I could dodge the trace, but it would drop me to around 3 credits or less.)

Don't trash ALL their money assets - don't go crazy and open yourself up to HHN. Sensie is the MOST important trash to keep Agendas piled up in HQ. Get Sucker online EARLY and threaten to blow up their Booths. Just slow them down enough so that you can get your necessary pieces and go to town on RND. It depends on the situation, obviously, and weaker draws can cost you, but generally, you want to prioritize stability over crippling your opponent. Let them rez their bullshit.

The main thing is that you want to stay above 8 the entire time or just don't run. As much as it sucks to get Closed from a SS + BN, if you have a Colony, you won't get EOI'd and lose. CTM is slower than NEH, so you can just credit up a bunch, usually. It helps to practice the MU a lot, too. It's winnable without Paricia.

Do you ever come up against problematic sentries or barriers? With only one Atman, something like Wall of Static could be hard to deal with.

Not really, save parasite for things that might give you trouble, or just leverage suckers + inti against Wall.
