Hard, Fast, Invisible

Cottonjaw 201

MWL compliant twist on an old favorite deck of mine. Recently revived the idea because I finally have all the necessary cards to play this in the flesh.

This looks pretty fun, but I have to ask, why Switchblade over Dagger? Saving 2 precious influence as well as reducing your strict reliance on stealth credits seems like a more than fair trade-off for the slightly-less-efficient stabby device out of the two stealth killers. Or do you usually find you have enough stealth credits to make Switchblade worth running over Dagger?

@TheBytemaster I find that in the early game, low str sentry ice with low numbers of subroutines, I'm typically turning into code gates and decoding them with Refractor. In the late game, especially with Professional Contacts and Public Sympathy expanding my hand size, things like Koimanu or high str multi sub sentries like HB has are where Switchblade shines. For just 2 stealth creds I'm through with ease. That being said, I am considering dropping to 2x dirty laundry and adding Levy AR Lab Access to get back some of those Ghost Runner in prolonged engagements.

In general though, yes, between cloak and ghost runner, I can fuel Switchblade through the mid and late game, when i need it most.
