Prepaid Kates

Twick 20

An adaptation of the PPVP archetype popularized on stimhack.com. Kati Jones was added as supplementary economy to keep up with the taxing, glacier-style decks popular in my meta. Won a 10 player game night tournament with cards up to H&P.

1 atman and no datasuckers is pretty scary. To pound up the centrals and clear out ice, datasucker is pretty damn crucial. Mine runs 1 less legwork, and the full 3 SoT. 2 datasucker is the sweet spot IMO. I'm curious if you'll find the same thing.

@x3r0h0ur thanks for the comments! My rationale for skipping datasuckers and running a single atman is that I don't rely on atman as a primary breaker, but rather I use it to deal with problem ice that I plan to run through repeatedly (eg setting it at 4 before indexing through an R&D defended by Eli 1.0). I've tried atman/suckers before, but found it too slow to get all the moving pieces in place before my opponent can start scoring out. I also like that, with my pumpable breakers and sufficient money, I can get into any server, which cannot be said about atman following a timely virus purge. I may try a variant that goes -1 corroder, +1 inti, +2 datasucker +1 atman, -3?. The problem is that deck slots are already extremely tight and there's not much I would be happy to cut out.
