Paper Shredding

staglore 359

A bit of theory crafting based on the Street Chess list. (author: db0)

Trash Paperclip with Aesop's Pawnshop and reinstall when you encounter a barrier using Sahasrara credits. If you have Scheherazade up, that is four credits and a draw each turn you hit a barrier.

Naturally, you'd cycle Pawns with Deep Red and Scheherazade combo for more money and draw.

Note: I only have one core set. That is why there are not 3 Aesop's Pawnshops and the need for Hostage.

Comments and criticisms welcome...

I really like this idea. If owning physical copies of cards wasn't a restriction (and you could therefore have several Aesops), what would you use for the hostage influence instead? I feel like Clot would be a good idea, since FA will always exist, and this deck seems like it definitely has a fair amount of set up time.

On the note of influence, perhaps getting rid of a Clone chip or two for something like Employee Strike or Rumor Mill might not be bad also.

I guess what I'm saying is, this deck seems like it could make a fair amount of money, but I'm just not sure it can actually assault servers that consistently. Is there any truth to that?

The Cloak/Dagger/NetChip solution to sentries seems to be an interesting one, and I'm not convinced it's worth it over just playing Mimic, Sharpshooter/Deus X and maybe Panchatantra. It interacts more favorably with Sahasrara and Exile: Streethawk as well.

Clot would be my choice.

I'm betting on hitting a barrier every turn. That would take up the sahasrara credits.

Very nice idea! Unfortunately most decks that without quickstart money just can't run early game because of Hard-Hitting News.
