Flight Path

This is the deck that is slowly pulling me back to Netrunner.

Egret and Careful Planning make up for everything Kit lost to the MWL and more. When Egret in your deck/heap, you can safely run any server N ice deep, where N is the number of programs you can install mid-run.

You can make R&D basically free against glacier decks and just pound it for 3-5 cards every time there's something new on top. Spend the waiting turns poking HQ or just click for 10 credits.

Careful Planning is amazing for breaking the remote early with Cyber-Cypher because unlike Tinkering it forces the corp to rez the inner ice or let you in for free, which lets you put a bird on it later if needed.

I usually put Temüjin Contract on HQ, where it works as a sort of fake multi-access. In Kit, Legwork is normally used when you've had the remote locked down for a while and agendas are building up, and Temüjin lets you clear them out too, just by running five times in one turn.

Plus, turn 1: Sure Gamble, Deep Data Mining, then put Temüjin on HQ makes corp players make funny faces.

There's no Scavenge because you don't need it. Install Magnum Opus as soon as you draw it, and install over it with a different one when you draw Dhegdheer. I don't think I can stress enough how much this deck does not give a damn about 4 credits.

The Shadow Net is the dark horse of holy shit so far. It accelerates you early by playing Sure Gambles from the heap over and over. It turns every agenda into an extra 8+ strength barrier/sentry the corp needs on two separate servers to keep you out (by recurring Tinkering). It guarantees you can keep the corp's ID turn off when you really need it, and you want to know what's really great?

With GFIs, every Deep Data Mining is worth 1.73 agenda points, and without GFI, each one is worth 2.04 agenda points. That means it's almost always worth it to forfeit every agenda you steal for five more cards off R&D.

And yes, 3x Beth Kilrain-Chang is the right amount of Beth Kilrain-Chang. 3x Beth is always the right call.
