This is my variant of DJHedgehog's CT Oracle May + doubles deck. View the thread here: http://forum.stimhack.com/t/ct-string-theory-doubles-oracle-may-it-works/1784/48

This is published for those that want to start playing it.

See my thoughts in thread for an explanation, and DJ's great write up. Basically, comparing to PPVP Kate...take the 2 credits from 2 prepaids that you spent 1 click and 1 credit to install (less hostage), and get them 1 time per turn, nearly every time, and a card draw. Lots of cash!

(name is because you're both showing your 'first card' each turn...get it?)

Why not replacing The Maker's Eye for R&D Interface? When you'll cycle your deck back you'll have more of what you want and like it seems to be, the economy enough to support them.

Mostly because 5 cards that make oracle miss are already too many. Also overhead cost. This deck makes a ton of money, but it's streaming in rather than all at once like kati.

oh ok ! I thought the deck was using Motivation, it makes a lot more sense now.

Just so everyone knows, DJ's version now runs 2 legwork and femme. I'm going to give it a shot, but heres how it would look

-1 garrote -1 dirty laundry +1 femme fatale +1 legwork

then optionally -1 Eureak! -1 woman in the red dress +2 scavenge, depending on how much I find I need to move femme fatale around.

What's the idea behind inclusion of WitRD?

Mostly, it's the best connection for the deck and since oracle is so important, we slot hostage to help finder her, and it's a double to feed power nap. Also with how fast the rig gets together the more knowledge you have the better. I find her to be very awesome. If you know common archetypes of factions, this card helps you distinguish which you're facing.

I just felt hostage and only oracle may was a waste of hostage.

I guess to elaborate further, legwork is a huge deal since you can lock down remotes with the full breaker suite and tons of cash. Witrd helps to push more agendas into the corps hands, pumping up the value of legwork. With massive multi access, even if the corp lifts the agenda to hand, you can makers or index in and get more cards. It also helps the corp draw through indexing to give you even more fresh cards. That's all in addition to the knowledge aspect. More knowledge on where the agendas are or aren't allow you to better know where to hit. Like a proactive infiltrate...it can also mitigate traps by making you aware the deck has them.

Thanks for explanation, had no idea about all WitRD qualities. Very interesting deck. Something that strikes me most is that it still leaves 2 memory slots free. Sneakdoor comes to mind, too bad it's 3 inf.

No more slots for non-event cards :/ it already feels awful missing as much as it does with Oracle calls.

Tempting to add Starlight Crusade Funding, though it might hurt Oracle a bit.

Nice deck

Don't think I didn't think about it. @Lynx Kuroneko

@Ulkrond thanks but cred goes to dj for the core

Looks amazing, but I wonder how often Tinkering comes into play. Wouldn't Escher or even Net Celebrity fit better in that spot?

9 Sep 2014 x3r0h0ur

Tinkering is up tempo and aggressive, its like inside job for shaper. Escher and net celebrity would be in general good adds, but I don't prefer them to tinkering. I almost never like Escher. I'm sure theres 2-3 slots that can be for 'seasoning'

@x3r0h0ur how do you feel about DJ's version now that you've tried it for a bit?

Question, why Eureka instead of scavenge? Eureka is 3 cost and requires an extra click to use while scavenge is 0, lowers install cost of programs based on how much they cost, instead of a static number (10), and combo's with test run anyway, which i'm assuming is how you meant to combo eureka with since test run returns the program to the top deck at the end of the turn, allowing you to draw it consistently.

Because the deck is based around Double to make a tons of money with Power Nap.
