Shaper Late Game

Mancini 59

This is my first attempt at deck building. It uses core only. I made this in response to corp glacier. Not sure if it's good or not, reviews appreciated.

It seems that you identified that a lategame shaper need a lot of economy, that is very wise. Another card I would recommend especially for Kate is Cyberfeeder, only costs 1 to install with her ability and provides strong lategame econ.

Also you might be able to put some serious pressure with a copy or two of Special Order. The value this provides is that it makes your opponent scared to try to score agendas early, which gives you even more time to get your rig built up with magnum opus and whatnot.

Stimhack is a pretty spicy include if your opponent is playing glacier, so I think that is always a good include. I know desperado is the cheapest memory console available, its generally a good card, but it might not be the best console unless you are also running datasuckers. I dont know if the toolbox is much better sadly, the consoles in the care set werent very good. Anyway hope this does well against your weyland glacier!

@thrazznos Thank you! I really wanted to include special order but I'm not sure what card to replace. Bank job?

@thrazznos The only reason I stuck Bank Job in there in the first place is because my friend always leaves un-ICED Pad Campaigns everywhere so it's a quick 7 creds. Then again, they're learning to put at least one ICE in front of their Pads to prevent this, so if I were to add in special orders I would assume Bank Job could be replaced.

Bank Job is actually a fantastic card, but it might be the one that has to go to make some influence. You could also consider dropping one of your breakers for another special order, since you have sacrificial construct to protect your singleton if you install it. I would definitley run 2, the other option is to drop desperado, but I am really torn on that.

@thrazznos I think I'll keep bank job, but I'm not sure whether to get rid of a Corroder or Ninja

Probably keep duplicate corroder, that allows you to install one early and force the rez of sentries to kill it, and if you dont have ninja by that point, you have an extra.

@ManciniYou probably know this, but if you're running Bank Job and Aesop's, then it's sometines worth only taking 7 credits from the run then Aesop-ing it for +3 credits.
