Khan: Savvy Ice Analyzer - Compromised Autoscripter

Oh, and I forgot to mention Savoir-faire in the write-up. Well, I ditched it. It was too expensive to use. Yes, I know, it was my on-demand install tool for facechecking and it was my only way of derezzing a 3 sentries deep server in one go with only one golden, but that never really happened anyways :D

Cool deck, surely a third Temüjin Contract is warranted in all blue builds these days.

Also, your argument about Ankusa is interesting. Most barriers, as you say, are cheap gearchecks these days. Once your ankusa is down, I'm sure you're right that these cheap barriers are just not worth it to lay down. But I almost find the same is true with any fracter. If the runner has a fracter down with which they can break my ice for 1 credit, I'm likely not going to spend my time or resources to lay that ice down except for maybe as a first ice for a small tax. Basically I think Paperclip will give you the same effect.

@MrAaronSA Some barriers, like Bailiff are still worth it. Eli is still a 3 credit tax for paperclip. I don't think Paperclip should have the same stopping power on barriers that yog once exerted on code gates (and still does). You have to take into account that they aren't as taxing, but running gear checks just exacerbates the problem

You could try some Babies if you miss Parties too much. You could also try dropping a zade and/or a Turning Wheel for 1-2 Quality Time to help your set-up.

Datasucker is absolutely the right choice with the birds.

Asset decks are a real struggle for my Khan deck. Not sure what crim can do against them.

I think you pretty much need Feedback Filter. When your birds are in the bush it's fine, but two in hand when the corp rezzes a Bio-Ethics Association or plays Neural EMP makes you a sad hunter. You can play around this a bit but paying 3 every once in a while to save your birds seems worthwhile. Where would the influence come from? Go to 1x Scheherazade maybe? It can kind of come online whenever you draw it since you are juggling your breakers.

I also question how important Autoscripter is. It's nice to get a free for using your Khan ability, but its expensive to install and is trashed easily, and encourages you to complete runs that you'd be smarter jacking out of. I think it's kind of a trap. I suppose you can bank it on The Supplier until you think you'll get use out of it but I worry.

I don't think you have the burst draw to support Career Fair, and you already have The Supplier. I don't think both are necessary.

3x Temüjin Contract. Always and forever.

Thank you all for the feedback :)

I don't know why I didn't think of Symmetrical Visage myself, it's really fitting and works well with The Supplier.

And after some more testplays I really think @FarCryFromHuman is right with the Autoscripter. It sonded so nice in theory, but it needs a lot of installs to pay for itself, more than I originally thought.

So, more Babies, more Temüjin, less Career Fair, less Autoscripter, and I'll go give Feedback Filter a try, dropping a Sche for it. I'll tinker around and post an update soonish.

So some other options. I've seen it pop a lot in other Kahn decks. Maybe drop one Ice analyzer and swap in London Library? Shaves 1 influence that way.

I'm assuming breach and Ankusa are there until the third part of the raptor suite comes out, not a bad choice and since we don't know the third card there's not a lot of replacements.

I see a lot of coupons + econ. If you're having trouble with econ maybe you need to swing the balance a bit. Say drop supplier or career fair and replace with Bank Job?

I do see a lot of fetch but not a lot of straight draw. Fisk Investment Seminar could give you a boost. Alternate possibility and this is just a what if, maybe take that extra influence and run this as Andromeda: Dispossessed Ristie with a rebirth into Kahn? 5 extra card slots and 3 more influence would let you snag some Quality Time or maybe a couple I've Had Worse and a Sports Hopper

I think the interesting interaction with low strength ICE & Ankusa in this Deck is, that through Compromised Employee you are getting Creds each time ICE is rezzed. A vanilla would generate you creds, while you need to break it for 2, but it goes back to hand and might need to be installed again for creds too. And on top it would feed Ice Analyzer that you would need to reinstall your birds. So when you have a decent number of any of these out, cheap gear check barriers won't be rezzed or installed anymore.
