Ladies at the Library

Step 1: Decide you're running Sage. Step 2: Find some way of boosting your MU Step 3: Pick a sentry breaker

If you're going to be boosting your MU, that means you'll be installing lots of hardware, which means Replicator + The Supplier are probably going to be making an appearance. We can run Kate to get the link, Dyson Mem Chip to hit that all-important 2 link, and then get some clickless econ in the form of Underworld Contacts + Data Folding. The Supplier really is key here, because it gives you RDI and CyberSolutions MemChip for only 1, and Dino for 2. Pretty solid stuff.

We run Lockpick and Cyberfeeder to try to offset Sage's cost, but we're still stuck without a good killer. Femme is pretty awesome, but there's that giant install cost, the inefficiency of boosting the strength, and the likelihood that the corp trashes the targeted ice.

Enter London Library. Free to install Femme, you can retarget her every turn, and since we're running Replikate, throw in some gasp LLDS Processors. Typical turn looks like:

1) Get 4-5 credits from UC/DF (6 if you've got everything up) 2) Install Femme on London Library 3) Run 4) Bounce Femme back to hand

That leaves you with an extra click to do some econ, installs, put something on The Supplier, clear a tag, or whatever else needs doing. Day Job seems a bit odd, but coupled with The Supplier you can actually get your 8 credits and install something in the same turn. Not the best, but not the worst.

Deck does reasonably well even against high-subroutine ice like grail and NEXT. Femme coming in at 4-5 strength and bypassing any unrezzed surprises is pretty great. You can really focus a lot of intense pressure on any server, but really only 1/turn. Obviously this is big rig, so the matchup against FA isn't great. YMMV.
