Hayley, the Scholarly, Shady, Software Engineer

One day, I re-discovered Replicator, and decided to try to create some decks around it; this is one of those decks (the other being "Kate Likes Hardware"). Replicator is good for two things; stack-able hardware that creates a monster rig swiftly, and drawing though you deck faster by removing dead draws for free. With that in mind, this deck's win condition is to quarter the time it takes to create a decent rig and start running reliably before the corp can end the game quickly, and no one is up to that task better than Hayley Kaplan: Universal Scholar.

Fast builds require fast draw; for that reason, most of the events are draw related. Diesel, Game Day, and Quality Time together ensure 36 out of 50 cards can be drawn with 12 and 12 (assuming average of 4 cards drawn with Game Day). Add Replicator to the mix, and you have a ludicrously high draw to click ratio, which Hayley's special ability will put to good use.

The economy of this deck will be mostly reliable (apart from good old Sure Gamble), and will exploit two mechanics that a lot of hardware with provide a lot of: and . Data Folding and Underworld Contact will provide up to 6 a turn, while Magnum Opus and Personal Workshop deal with the additional expenses of running and installing cards respectively.

Before getting onto hardware, a quick note about icebreakers. Probably the weakest aspect to this deck is the total of 6 icebreakers in a deck of 50. However, only two cards are needed to run against all suites of ICE and the card draw should find those cards quite quickly. Another issue is cost to install and use, but a rapidly built rig should in theory allow at least one stable late-game run a turn.

Finally, we get to the hardware, which is pretty self explanatory: Dyson Mem Chip and CyberSolutions Mem Chip facilitate Data Folding and Underworld Contact, as well as give strength to Sage, Box-E does the same but also empowers Game Day, Prepaid VoicePAD and e3 Feedback Implants for more economy, R&D Interface for more powerful runs, Plascrete Carapace for pesky kill decks, and, of course, Replicator.

All in all, I'm proud of this deck, even though I'm sure it has much room for improvement. So I ask you; what can I tweak, what should I consider, and what should I drop? Also, if you would be so kind to check out the other Replicator based deck in the relevant heading, that would be swell.
