Recursion Inferno! v1.3

Knight is very similar to Femme Fatale, but since you can have both, I say: why not? Knight, Femme Fatale and Atman, can all benefit greatly from Scavenge. Same Old Thing is basically there just for Scavenge.

I picked Deep Red not so much for the memory, but because it allows to use Knight way more efficiently. Since I picked Magnum Opus as the main economy engine, I actually added a couple Akamatsu to allow some flexibility.

Test Run and Self-modifying Code for faster setup of the Icebreakers, and Clone Chip for some extra recycle on-the-fly.

Since I ended up playtesting against Jinteki and Weyland only, I removed the HQ focusing cards in favor of the usual R&D Interface. I also swapped Plascrete Carapace with Public Sympathy which works nicely with Professional Contacts and can protect from any kind of damage. Three copies for faster draw, and because the incoming Punitive Counterstrike will definitely raise the threat.

Lastly, I have 3 unspent influence points. I don't think I really need to spend them, also because I wouldn't know what to substitute, but... any suggestions?

The deck does work exceptionally well. Between Femme and Knight there's not much the Corp can do to keep you out. Also, Femme bypasses the restriction posed by Unorthodox Predictions and works perfectly on Hadrian's Wall and Ice Wall, the only two pieces of ICE that could (easily) make Knight noneffective. Janus 1.0 and Wotan are much rarer, but Femme can take care of them too.

Atmans won't work well without Datasuckers, period.

I might agree, if Atman was supposed to be the main Icebreaker of the deck. But it ain't, it's there just to have another IB that can break ICE of the various types cheaply, while Femme Fatale and Knight do the majority of the work.

If you had to replace Dirty Laundry for some reason, what would you replace it with?

Hmm well, if I had to remove DL, I'd probably add a third Magnum Opus to be sure I get it early on without using a tutor (which I'd rather use for an IB anyway). Then I might add a third Professional Contacts and a third Same Old Thing.
