The Golden Eggroll Maneuver 2.0

SteamMachine 1

The core of the deck revolves around Kit's ability and Engolo - forcing every ICE you encounter to become a Code Gate and then kicking it down. Give Engolo a Gebrselassie and a Takobi and it becomes a real monster to deal with. You've also got a couple of Egrets to use when the ICE is 3-4 layers deep. If you hit a particularly pesky piece of ICE, run Spooned and ICE begone.

In this circumstance, unless you're absolutely dead-set on using Engolo, I think the OG Gordian Blade is more appropriate. It saves 1 MU and 1 card (and the extra action that Haile needs in order to mod). Engolo's pump isn't worth it.

It feels good to rely on ultra-efficient, permanent cards to win the game, but they aren't necessary and you'll find yourself floundering too often while the Corp gets away with murder. In this deck especially, you'll find that all the cards that synergize with Rielle "Kit" Peddler: Transhuman and Engolo aren't permanent at all -- you're constantly fighting against the inevitable moment when you exhaust your available workshop or therapy or Pelangi counters.

with Mind's Eye you want to flood R&D but I'm not sure I would approach this deck with that in mind. With Kit's ability only working once a turn it will be only a minor addition to your full late-game setup. You could probably build this around the inclusion of Peregrine and a bunch of cutlery to just disrupt a lot of the Corp's ice with ease.

Additionally, consider reworking your economy set. I'm not a fan of Prepaid VoicePAD or Telework Contract in this deck.

If you stop leaning hard into the "My Guru, Otho, always says: Everything is just a code gate waiting to be solved" mantra, Kit's a great identity to tear through whatever measly early-game resistance the Corp can muster. That's obviously off-topic though.

I ran out of time on this. I'll come back after work and try to give more actual suggestions.

PS I'm making all this up -- I'm super new and didn't playtest this either.
