Not sure you'll find oracle fast enough IMO. If you add more oracles your going to have a significant amount of misfires.

Also ninja is rough even for an oracle deck.

@embaci not sure you'll find Oracle at all 1 in deck with no search.

Also what are you using that extra 1MU on cos frankly if your not going to use it you may as well stick in 5 more cards and get a useful ability.

Hey guys I've been on hiatus for a while, this is an early version of this deck that certainly could be improved, but here are some theories behind it:

This deck looks to start slower but finish faster than normal String Theory by having a larger rig to set up, but a more efficient deck once you get there. No Hostage/extra OM/Eureka! to dilute the deck once you're already set up, and PPVPs boost your clickless economy from 2c (OM) to 5c (PPVP + OM) per turn.

1x Oracle: Finding your OM is less vital in the early game compared to normal String Theory for a few reasons. PPVPs help smooth your econ a little, Injects smooth the draw a lot, and losing a PPVP to an OM miss during setup is devastating.

@Pinkwarrior I don't think any other Shaper ID would be worth adding 5 cards - the 40-card minimum is the useful ability here.

@x3r0h0ur From my experience, Ninja was only noticeably painful against Komainu/Tsurugi, but even those were usually over centrals which I would only be running via Legwork/Maker's anyways. It's also nice during the setup run through the deck (when you will be poorest) to be able to Modded any install for at most 2c. But really, Garrote would be so much better, getting 2x Inject in was just hard to pass on :D

I'll probably be getting back into playing soon to try and tech the list a bit.
