Experimental Reina v 0.2

slotting 2 hostages dropping casts to slot mr. li/procontacts and kati jones feels pretty good in my mind....but I hate daily casts (I know I probably recommended it for it's synergy with aesops though). I think datasuckers are almost unnecessary, but if you do lose knights too much, you could slot in pawns or deja vu. Deja vu is one of the best anarch cards available. With armitage and liberated you should be okay on money, and with 3 deja vu you can always recur either. I'm a fan.

I'm not sure if you see a lot of bad pub, but using Frame Job to get it is pretty brutal. If you're already running aesop's, slotting a few activist support for a well-timed play (when the corp dips to near broke can be good). Activist makes for decent denial by resource if the corp feels necessary to attack your resources when you get your tag too. With aesop, you can turn it off so you only gain a tag when you're willing.

Thanks for the input. Right now I'm fighting to keep an economy, so I'm trying to find something that works. I like the 2x Hostage with Kati and Pro Contacts idea. It gives me boost economy from Kati and drip econ and drawing power from Pro Contacts.

As for the Datasuckers, the more I play with them, the more I get locked out of places and the less they are useful. Since I'm trying to get the economy working, it's been hard to have the funds to break ice when I run into it, so usually if a server is 2 deep with ice, I don't stand much chance of getting in. With the Datasuckers out, I'd probably slot Gordian Blade for Yog, and something else for Mimic, or just see how they work with a Bishop and Ice Carver. Deja Vu wouldn't be bad in here either. I would just have to figure out what to take out to make room for it.

I'm starting to see a lot more bad pub as I've seen an uptick in people using Fenris and Hostile Takeover. Activist Support seems a lot easier to use than Frame Job, but in my local meta there are a couple Tag and Bag decks being used that I'd be hesitant to give them a free tag. I've lost on corp turn 2 to a double Scorched a couple of times. Even when it looked like they couldn't do it, they managed to pull it off. I do like the idea of playing the Activist for one turn and feeding it to Aesops though. Assuming I could survive the tag, and them not trashing Aesops on their turn.
