Hosonagai 2

This can be a little tricky to set up hence the Self-modifying Code, Test Run and Tyson Observatory. Muligan for a good start if needed.

Ideally you want Oracle May, Motivation, Scheherazade, Brahman and Sure Gamble to kick you off.

The economy of this deck revolves around using Oracle May and Motivation to see your card draw together with Symmetrical Visage visage to earn you 3 credits on the 1st card draw every turn.

Then you need to setup your breakers to earn even more credit and break ice for a low cost. The setup is using Brahman and D4v1d only as breakers. Brahmans cost for cheap breaking is it will cost you a program for each ice you pass, glacier ice can now be viewed as a cash cow :) Set up Brahman and Scheherazade, install 0 cost programs like Inti, Paricia and D4v1d onto it, 4 programs will only cost you 2 clicks because of Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar ability and Scheherazade will earn you 4 credits for installing onto it, and you can also place 4 credits onto Technical Writer. So installing 4 cards costs you 2 clicks and 3 credits and earns you 8 credits.

When breaking use D4v1d and his tokens until used up, then switch to Brahman. His caveat is returning programs to the top of your stack, so just place D4v1d and any other prog on Scheherazade like Init or Paricia back onto your stack. Then after the run, use Oracle May to draw them back again to earn credits as you'll know what they are. D4vid will be installed onto Scheherazade and ready to use again at a cost of 1 (cost 3 but gain 2 credits because of Schez and Tech writer).

If you also have Autoscripter out you'll also earn an additional click to either spend on setting up Brahman again (earning more credits) or run again with Brahman. If you get short of credits (which isn't like) cash in Technical Writer.

Aesop's Pawnshop is great once your set up to make credits out of the duplicates that will come up.

There is a good bit of hardware to setup because of the memory use so use Tyson Observatory and Inside Man to search and fund finding R&D Interface, CyberSolutions Mem Chip and The Toolbox

The only protective card I used was Feedback Filter, its expensive but covers all bases and you'll be rich so its saved me in most situations.

Levy AR Lab Access is incase a card goes to trash that you can't get back with Test Run

Visage does not combo with Oracle, unfortunately. If you want a more reliable engine, go with Professional Contacts.

@Lynx Kuroneko is right - Oracle is drawing through a card ability, which Visage specifically doesn't effect. That seems like a simple 2-slot swap though.

Not sure what Aesop's Pawnshop does here. If you pitch programs then you're killing your Brahman ammo. There's not really any resources you'd be trashing for profit either. I guess it lets you squeeze every credit out of your rig once you're set up by ditching Tyson and extra Inside Men, but I certainly don't think it's worth 3x Aesop's.

Those Cybersolutions are expensive. Your full rig needs 8, and with your console you'll have 6. I'd try 2 Akamatsu instead of the 3 Cybersolutions. And taking out the big chips means Inside Man isn't worth it, so you could try using Modded instead.

So, my changes would be: -2 Visage, -3 Pawnshop, -3 Cybersolutions, -3 Inside Man, -1 Levy; +1 Tech Writer, +1 SMC, +1 Gamble, +2 QT, +3 Casts, +3 Modded, +1 Sacrificial Construct.

The QT is to set up the engine faster (Hayley/Modded love overdraw, too). The Sacrificial Construct prevents Autoscripter from being trashed on an unsuccessful run.

Sorry for the mega-post - just some things to think about!

I think I'd do 3x Personal Workshop instead of Inside Man and Tyson Observatory. None of your hardware is critical and you have extra copies. PW is awesome in this kind of a deck and lets you cut a lot of cards. You'd be able to add some more utility cards like Sports Hopper and take full sets of your better cards like Technical Writer and Sure Gamble.
