Toolkit

Before I begin, I've got to thank the amazing @PeekaySK. He persuaded me to put The Toolbox in here and generally made some amazing improvements, AND sent me, a total stranger, two more copies of The Toolbox so that I could run this deck. Basically, he's wonderful and if you ever come up against him on OCTGN or something you will have a great time!

So, this is the Kit deck I've been working on for a while (in fact, it's my first runner deck) and I think it's in a good place now! It's admittedly not won tournaments or anything (I've only taken it to one tournament (my first tournament) and won three out of six runner games with it) but it's very fun to play!

Now, as you might have guessed by the three copies of it, you want to find Magnum Opus. Sure, do some face checking first, have a good time, but then get the money rolling in. If you can Modded it out, even better! Then, of course, you want to find Torch. This is best done through the Test Run / Scavenge combo, but you could always Modded it out as well in a bad situation, or if the Corp gets cocky and thinks that you've not found your breaker yet.

Now, The Toolbox is amazing. Why is it amazing? Well, as @PeekaySK explained to me, you can spend a turn installing it, and then you've essentially got a free Magnum Opus click every turn. This and the + and +2 means that I don't need to run any extra either, and it makes the tracer ice (*cough* Caduceus*cough*) less irritating as well. Also, you don't really need the extra until the Corp's servers have more than one piece of ICE on them, and even then you can get through a two-ice server with Femme Fatale anyway, which still leaves you within your starting 4. So, an early R&D assault is a very good idea.

By the late game you will have hopefully found Escher and Legwork. Have they been putting too much ICE on R&D? Surprise, now I'm going for HQ and borrowing all of your agendas (permanently). Or I'm suddenly putting all of the code gates on R&D and now it costs 3 to get into R&D and see four cards. Also, Tinkering is very useful to take the Corp's scoring window and shut it straight back down. Yay pressure!

You may also be wondering why there's no Self-modifying Code, considering all of the small programs that are in here. Well, there are two reasons really: memory and deck space. Magnum is already , and we don't have any cheap extra memory for the early game. Also, deck space is a thing.

To be honest though you may just not bother as you'll be drawing through your deck so quickly, so most of them will end up in the heap, where you can Clone Chip them back from! Or, considering how many Same Old Things are in this deck, you could easily recur another Test Run to find that all-important Parasite, Sharpshooter or D4v1d (which is a totally amazing card that every Shaper should import if they can).
