Sage-o-saurus

I finished first in a small 18 person tournament this week with this deck. Obviously, the main idea is to take advantage of Chaos Theory's extra MU and Dinosaurus with Sage. Not a revolutionary strategy, and can be pricey, but supplemented with some Femmes, it tends to be very manageable. During the tournament, I never had to install Sage (I faced two PE decks and Cerebral Imaging combo deck) and really only needed Atman and Deus Ex to scrape by. I was impressed by the versatility against the PE matchups, but I attributed most of those wins to lucky accesses and fortunate draws (got to use all 3 of my Diesels.)

The main strategy of this deck is too manage Econ as best you can until you're set up to make efficient runs with either R&D interface or HQI installed. Mix in Maker's Eye when you wanna dig for agendas, or trash some stuff with Demo Run. Plascretes are installed as needed, and Clone Chips are usually for Deus X or Gorman if the opportunity strikes. Besides that, it's nothing special. Bank Job is the best burst econ I've found lately, and no one usually expects it out of Shaper. Unfortunately, some matchups mean no remotes so it can potentially be a dead draw. But Kati usually helps in those types of matchups.
