You don't want to sell me hardware . . .

You want to go home and rethink your life . . .

That's pretty much why I built this deck, because it's hilarious, and similarly hilarious results occurred in a draft where I had a similar setup - except 8 Cyberfeeders, 5 Crescentus and was using Crypsis as a main breaker. Which there's nothing wrong with, but in constructed - might as well go with something slightly more direct.

As much as I literally despise Trade-In - it actually works here. I can turn an early INSERT HARDWARE into whatever I want it to be - which will probably be Replicator if it's early, then whatever. If I've got loads of events, Prepaid VoicePAD, if programs, Cybsoft MacroDrive - mid game it's a The Toolbox.

Further, it's all on the mega cheap anyway thanks to Kate's power / Inside Man - which works when you have 21 pieces of hardware.

As a matter of explanation - Creeper is actually good when you have e3 Feedback Implants - I wanted to ram Knight in here as well - but I honestly just can't find the influence space. I could do it if I decided to toss Lucky Find and have no money - but then I have no money. After playtesting, I might swap 1 in for a Knight. But considering I have exactly 9 direct money cards...I might hedge a little on that decision.

You could swap out Lucky Find for Daily Casts, with a single Kati Jones (go buy her a drink!). Then, you'll have all the influence you could need.

I won't lie, I considered exactly what you said, but it's just so slow. With this deck, in theory, most of your turn and money at first should be building a giant rig, and paying for Inside Men - which fuels the rig further. A perfect turn 3/4 would be getting out all three of either Cyberfeeder, Prepaid or similar. Dropping Daily Casts / Kati would just slow such a thing down way too much for my personal liking.

It's an option for the future though, and I might playtest it if this doesn't work. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you're going all out on hardware I'd chuck in some personal touches as well, saving a ton of credits in the long run, and earning itself back really quickly, especially if you get free install from Kate/Inside man

Yep, forgot totally about those. Really want to ram those in now.
