PanchaKit

SHIEL 80

I liked the look of the tableflip deck, but I wasn't sure how sold I was on Security Nexus. Reading the comments on it, I noticed people mentioning Panchatantra, and realized... Wouldn't PanchaBread be a perfect thing for Kit? It's janky as all hell when it's the whole of your breaker suite, but with Decoders to back it up, it seems like it would be hugely more viable - Especially with Kit's ability in the mix. Wasn't sure what to do with the extra influence, but D4v1d seemed like a good possibility for unpleasant huge barriers; left Shrike in and switched Lady for Inti because ideally you shouldn't need to install them in most cases; they're just there to shut down problematic things like Wraparounds and Tour Guides. Went with Maya for the console because of the 2, and because it's cheaper than The Toolbox; other potentially good alternatives I've thought about include Dinosaurus, Box-E and Brain Chip. I'm certain that better decisions could be made here, but playtesting will tell.

Hello! I'm running a Kit deck too, and about the console, I use a power combo with Yog.0 and Dinosaurus -Yogosaurus <3-, and for big servers I love using Tinkering... is like a free pass.

If you need the extra MU, Omni-Drive might be a good solution, also it gives you the extra credit.

The Panchatantra + Gingerbread combo tho... I'll give it a go!! :)

@itsteatime: I want so badly for Omni-Drive to be good, but unless you're lucky enough to draw into it before your breakers, you're forced to either wait around or use a Scavenge to reinstall them onto it... Same reason why I'm not using Leprechaun or Djinn. Dinosaurus I could potentially get behind - I'd put Gingerbread on it rather than my decoder, probably - But I wouldn't go for more of that sort of thing than that.
As to Yog, especially in conjunction with Dinosaurus, I admit that sounds scary good... But then you need Datasuckers or else you have to use PanchaBread on strength 6+ Code Gates, and the whole idea of using it in Kit is to cut down the load on Panchatantra from "everything that isn't already a Tracer" to "Barriers and Sentries that aren't already Tracers"... The rig here is already bigger than I'd like it to be; I'm still trying to convince myself that I shouldn't be so scared of Wraparounds and Tour Guides as to bother with the Inti and Shrike includes. But there's one person in my meta who runs a rather alarming Gagarin deck; even counting the install cost, Shrike would still cut the cost of a run on her Tour Guides in half for the first run, and then 2 thereafter. :p
