Kate - The best runs in life are free

OVERVIEW This deck began life as an attempt to make Replicator useful. I decided on building a deck around the "Rec-Cred Hardware" - Lockpick, Silencer and Cyberfeeder. The Toolbox and Cloak had to go in, to play to the theme, and yge deck came to life.

ECONOMY 3x Sure Gamble 3x Armatige Codebusting Aesop's Pawnshop Many recurring credits.

Using Mac, the deck has very few major installation expenses - aside from The Toolbox, the worst it has is SMC into Gordian blade for 6cr. Runs are going to be cheap, if not free, with a full build offering me up to 14 rec-cr per turn to throw into them. Normally, I staple Magnum Opus into a shaper deck, but with the above in mind, I decided that Armatige would be enough. Aesop's went in to eat the Replicators and Inside Mans when I was finished with them (and give me that cheeky extra credit from Armatige, if need be).

CARD DRAW 3x Diesel 3x Replicator

Again, the deck is light. In theory, finding one Replicator will help thin the deck of the hardware I don't need, helping me draw cards that I do.

ICEBREAKERS Corroder Gordian Blade Dagger

I'm not 100% sure about this one. To play to the theme of the deck, I wanted icebreakers that can sit on Omni-Drive, which rules out Battering Ram. Only including one of each means I'm relying on SMC, and am vulnerable to damage - which is why Clone Chip went in. Deus X features, but mostly for its Net Damage protection.

SUPPORT 3x Inside Man 3x Clone Chip 3x R&D interface Levy AR Lab Access

Clone Chip has already been discussed briefly - but it also helps with multi-SMC uses, as well as helping shift icebreakers onto Omni-Drive. Inside Man I'm not sure of - while I have fist fulls of hardware to lay down, Mac is great at getting it done herself. At the very least, he's Aesop food. R&D Interface seems staple. Its hardware, and it helps me make minimal runs on R&D (potentially only needing a run every few turns), allowing me to more comfortably hit HQ or remotes.

FINAL THOUGHTS The deck may suffer against Net damage decks, or Weyland Cleaner decks - Plascrete carapace could go in (more hardware!). The lower scale icebreakers may suffer against heavier ice, but with so many Rec-Creds, it'll hopefully still be cheap on the "real' credit cost. I worry the economy is a little TOO light. Testing will tell.
