Kit's Precience v1

Oh, the Shaper deck I've always wanted to play... I just didn't know it until know.

So shapers have a lot of tricks - they can fish programs, they have tons of recursion... we all know the drill. But what about the /other/ trick? The one that really, really nobody uses? The one where you play with your stack, using the top of your stack as additional cards in your hand (as it were)?

This deck really wasn't possible until the most recent datapack - the click compression just wasn't there to make it work. With Chameleon and Hyperdriver, though... oh, things have changed.

The core of the deck is Oracle May/Motivation, a classic card combo that allows you to essentially pull a green level clearance each turn, as the runner. Modded and Eureka! allow huge economy or tempo gains depending on your need at the time - Eureka! out the toolbox or Magnum Opus instead of pulling them with May, or rely on Modded to drop smaller items for (essentially) free after gaining credits with May. Angel Arena will allow you to cycle your deck or renew the Oracle cycle if it's broken. Solid card draw compression all around.

For breakers? Study Guide is the core, relying on its lovely synergy with the recurring credits on Toolbox and Lockpicks to be a holy terror. To back that up, you've got Chameleon, which was /made/ to synergize with the Library. Drop out your lizard, choose the appropriate breaker type, and run - forgoing the 2cred tax every turn for a universal mimic. Drop more than one for more fun... and don't forget the LLDS processors which, when you've got a few out, turn a pretty good breaker into a terrifying one.

Plascretes give you some solid defense, while the R&D interface will give you the typical shaper lock. And, on top of that? In the late game, Escher things around to your liking, just to make the corp cry. Stacking all the code gates in front of R&D is always a good one, no?

To cap it all off... hyperdriver. Install this thing, and pull off a seven click turn- that's a 13 credit swing, if all you do is use Opus. Personally, I can think of a lot of more interesting things to do with those clicks.

This is, though, a first pass. Two Eureka!s may not be enough. Two plascretes may be too many. There may not be enough shapery nonsense to make this work.

I just don't know - but I'm loving the idea.
