AFS v2.0

AFS: Ah for F**k Sake which is what your opponent says when they see your fracter.

This is the shaper list rotage and I have been testing for the last couple of months. Dave took v1 to 3rd place at Dutch Nationals and v2 features some major changes including

• spending the 8 Account Siphon influence on Morning Star (stop laughing), E3 Feedback Implants and Legwork (me) or Slums (rotage), also cutting Shadow Net and Fan Sites

• dropping Hyperdrivers and Notoriety because slotsm8

• Adding Beth and Bloo Moose because they're good cards and we kept forgetting to fit Beth into previous builds

Key components of the deck are:

• Faust to enable early aggression

• Laguna Velasco to feed Faust and find your stuff

• Dedicated Processor in case your opponent has ice above strength 5

• 3 Astrolabe because it's the best shaper console. Don't @ me

• DDM to win

Tech slots/cards are:

• Legwork to improve the Moons matchup (was Salsette Slums in earlier versions, to try and tech for prison IG)

• Feedback Filter for net damage decks as I was afraid of IG/PU (did not need it once on the day)

• Swapping 1 Strike for 1 Political Operative to improve the Aginfusion matchup (can also be used to hilarious effect against Estelle Moon)

• 2 NACH to manage Sync and NBN ice more generally

Kate went 3-4 at Nationals, beating 2 Boom Syncs and a Skorp rush. Losses were to 2 moons, a fast Skorp, and a Boom Sol which I lost due to not installing NACH despite having 2 in hand, turns out it's hard to think after 7 rounds of Netrunner.

FYI anyone still shaking their heads at Morning Star being in the deck: Dedicated Morning Star will break Chiyashis for a mere 3 credits each (with a low low setup cost of 7 credits if you can get maximum Kate/Dhegdeer value)
