Kate w/o PPVP

Personally, without the PPVP I think Pro-co is a superior draw engine to diesel + quality time. I would go suggest 3 Pro-co + 2 good-shaper-things. Also, Yog without any suckers seems a bit fragile. Is 1 of Atman, d4v1d, and parasite the only answers to Code Gates > 3 ( Lotus Field and Wormhole being the most prominent now ) ? There's support for those 3 (scavenge, clones) but seems a bit unwieldly when Gordian Blade is a pretty good decoder.

@sruman Thank you for the feedback. The deck is an idea I've been thinking about but is not ready yet, so it is much appreciated.

I agree with the Pro-co statement, and have updated the deck. (see "inspiration for") I think with Pro-co, maybe armitage is less optimal, because too many clicks would be needed, so I removed the Armitage as well, but added 2 Modded's to help with installing RDI, Yog, Lady or even Atman or David from hand.

I did not have Yog in there at first, but 2x Cyber Cypher. However, I really want to play David, since my meta has a lot of blue sun Glacier and I feel their turn 1 play of Oversight AI a Curtain Wall is back-breaking, and shaper with SMC (and even Test Run) is best positioned to punish that opening with David. But then I already have the David, and the Atman to deal with S4 sentries (changeling for example, sometimes played) so I though, why not use Yog as well.

You are right that the code gates are anwered by Yog for <= 3, Atman at 4 and David for >=5, that was the plan at least. It might be too fragile. I have the same setup for the sentries actually, so maybe I'm stretching my David counters too thin. At this time I'm not sure how to free influence and MU for data suckers, or the clicks to charge them, really. Especially MU, since my ideal rig already sits at 5 MU (this might depend on the match up)

I'm also concerned about the economy, the idea is to use stimhack with SMC/clone chip (and some regular credits) to get out the Atman at 4 (if needed), the Yog, mimic, lady and David (if needed) and have that be the rig. Not sure if Kati/ProCo can sustain it.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback again, I'm still thinking about the deck and have yet to test it. Cheers!

A couple lines in to a comment then checked your new version and you'd beaten me to everyone of my 2nd round of suggestions :) Although I always find memory gets squishy with smc's and all these tools you want to use. Maybe econ could handle -2 modded, +2 akamatsu?
