Untested as yet these are my first thoughts on Hayley post MW.

With all the Assassin floating around, together with all the strength 4 nastyness which demands your Atman, you are going to struggle I think, being able to break 3 in a game (Sharpshooter plus 2x Clone Chip) never mind if you are playing a Weyland deck running Grim/Assassin and Archer.

@Phoenix Atman at 5 is more than enough. The only thing that I don't like is the lack of Datasucker. One Parasite is not gonna cut it.

Atman at 5 is more than enough for Assassin yes. But then how are you handling Ichi 1.0/Archer/Stacked multi sub barriers? There is just not enough recursion. Most Kate decks running a similar breaker suite also run D4v1d.

@Phoenix that's why I said I did not like the exclusion of Datasucker. I also don't think Lady is good and the single Legwork without Levy or SoT is also a bad choice.

I'm currently running 1 Mimic, 1 Atman, 1 Gordian Blade, 1 Corroder, 1 Clot and 1 Datasucker. Absolutely beast.

But vulnerable to CVS wipe no?

I do agree that Lady is not brilliant at the moment and agree that Corroder is the better choice. I run a very similar suite.

@Phoenix that's what Atman 4 is for. A good player will not need everything in a deck, but rather know how to deal with everything with what he has in his deck. You need to read the situation and match up. Ichi is also easy to click through.

@Phoenix I am running D4vid in my current pre-mwl list and I have found it very useful against Assassin. I would love to have it in but I am really not sure about how to get it to fit.

I rarely need all the moving parts in a deck, and like @iceqs says it really depends on the situation what is important.

@iceqs I have found a single legwork to work wonders as long as you use it at the right time. Sure sometimes I miss but a lot of the time it leads to the win when timed right. I have had SoT in previous builds but found I wasn't really getting a lot of use out of it.

I take the point about the Datasucker, another card I lost in this build. It might be that I drop the Aesop's economy all together and put in a datasucker or two, look at corroder etc. This is a very early take on this build so I have lots of things I want to try out.

Thanks for the feedback folks, really helps me out when I have to try and explain choices.
