Snake Eyes 4651

Tinkering with Nasir Stimshop using Study Guide as a decoder.

I am not an experienced Nasir pilot, so I'll be taking this out to a few casuals to see how it goes.

The Toolbox and Lockpick can use their s to strengthen Study Guide.

I'm debating fitting a Magnum Opus in here or not.

C&C welcomed.

Hey there! Nice that you're trying out Nasir.

My Nasir deck is quite different and relies on a quite different set of cards, but I think I can still provide some comments:

  1. While Datasucker + Mimic is strong, I don't know if I'd feel secure without a more well-rounded Killer.
  2. I've found Magnum Opus to work far better than Kati Jones, so including at least one copy to tutor for would help greatly, IMO. Also, I've found that if you play Nasir aggressively, Magnum Opus feels more flexible and allows you to run more, although this version of the deck doesn't necessarily feel that aggressive. More on this in the next point.
  3. The breaker suite (and some other cards) suggest that this Nasir deck wants to take some time to build the rig up, considering your low amount of tutors (only two SMC and one Test Run) and Kati Jones + Symmetrical Visage. This in itself might be fine, but that would also suggest to me that the breaker suite maybe should altered to work better in later attacks. Battering Ram, Garrote and Paintbrush for Study Guide might all be helpful.
  4. Card draw seems to be a bit problematic here too. Symmetrical Visage does feel like you conceeding to the fact that there will be a lot of "clicking for cards", considering the low amount of tutors and only three Diesel to help. Quality Time and Earthrise Hotel are both good, although both can be expensive for Nasir (unless you have your Magnum Opus out). If you want to keep things a bit more passive then maybe Professional Contacts could be a good choice?

Overall it feels like this Nasir deck is half-way between an aggressive deck (with the Datasuckers, Order of Sol and a couple of other cards) and a more passive deck (Symmetrical Visage coupled with lower card draw, low breaker amount, focus on Study Guide).

I don't know if it works, it very well might (I'm not experienced enough to tell), but personally I would have wanted more dedication to one of those two sides if I was building the deck.
