Entourage v1.0 (standard)

Have been trying to get a good René “Loup” Arcemont: Party Animal deck together, mainly as a counter to the current Corp meta of Tag and Meat Damage decks.

I've also been trying to get Amelia Earhart to work in various decks, mainly Captain Padma Isbister: Intrepid Explorer and Steve Cambridge: Master Grifter, but with not much success. Then it occurred to me, rather than making the deck around Amelia, why not include it as added value, while focusing on something else...

So, I've tried to bring the Blue Magpie into "Loup", and I think there's something in it.

With "Loup" I'm trying to leverage trashing and gaining multi-access with The Twinning, so why not just splash Amelia into that setup?

The deck needs work — huge thanks to @BaaRamWu for taking the time to give me a few pointers:

Although, the Paragon works well to scry the deck before the "Loup" trash draw, that influence is probably better spent on other breakers.

“Pretty” Mary da Silva is redundant with the multi-access you get from The Twinning, while Eru Ayase-Pessoa doesn't work with Amelia (it does work with Hijacked Router, and provides a different avenue of attack in the late game).

Lots to mull on and play with.

Mulling on @BaRamWu's advice, going to try adding: +1 Bahia Bands, +3 Keiko, +1 Carmen, and +1 Unity, and +2 Botulus...

...while taking out -2 Paragon, -1 “Pretty” Mary da Silva, -1 Buzzsaw, and -1 Echelon.

This brings the deck up from 42 cards to 45, but hopefully gives some better options.
