Desalination

An R&D lock deck. Get aumakua & tapwyrm going. Fester/Sac Con recommended. GPI for refreshing counters on the turns you don't want to run R&D. Deep Data Mining is for when you can just run with Aumakua; but you can likely data mine with some other components on board.

Multithreader+Misdirection is for CTM. SMC/Misdirection can be scavenged into tapwyrm late game.

Not a lot of complex choices; but GPI is intended to be ditched in this build if you're going to run into something you don't like. Lister will handle most cases, but you only need one Net Tap up usually. If the corp tries to clear tapwyrm, fester will bring down their econ and GPI can get you back into counters quickly.

Levy is more important than opus in this deck, which wants to draw through itself and reset. Armitage+Tapwyrm has been enough econ.

AI hate decks are obviously the worst. Shadow net may help here. Or trade a threader for hunting grounds. Best turn 1? Kab for SMC, Cab for Threader, threader+smc for aumakua, scavenge threader, run somewhere. Sets you up for an easy tapwyrm later.

Gordian & 'Not are designed to deal with jinja decks when aumakua isn't powered up due to a CVS wipe or it just isn't around. Pump once (or not at all). Ankusa isn't good at dealing with big barriers, it's more of an econ/click pressure thing for troublesome barriers. Less ice is better and they won't want to reinstall because of GPI if they're fighting you on counters. The other reason for using Ankusa is it defeats Kaguko. I hate Kaguko, unless I'm playing it, of course.
