Silhouette Assasination

Updated slightly after some testing showed a few combos (Snitch/Au revoir as one-ofs) just weren't reliable enough. Still probably needs a bit more money generation to go alongside the denial of credits to the corp.

My only recommendation might be to replace Alias with Garrote. If you plan to break an Architect, then Alias will cost you 3 for the install and 4 to break. Garrote will cost 7 for the install and 3 to break. So it makes up the added cost after 3 breaks (which may or may not be worth it).

Also, in terms of economy, I would think Kati Jones would help you get up to 11 credits faster (6 turns for 12 credits?) Or maybe Armitage Codebusting (7 clicks for 11 credits)? Or perhaps a The Supplier if you aren't going to play Tag Me with the Account Siphons? Supplier puts Kati in for free and the Xanadu for 1, but he is fairly useless late game (whereas an Armitage gives the same 11 credits late game as it does early game).

Whatever resource econ you use, I would take out the Mr. Li, Lemuria Codecracker , and Security Testing since those are one-offs. Security Testing is great in Gabe, or when you pair it with a Desperado, but I'm not sure about it here. Especially because you are playing central only breakers, making it easier for the corp to turtle up and deny you those credits every turn.

Good luck!

@Oisin Cheers. I've been thinking about swapping one copy each of the central-onlys for more efficient breakers, but I need to keep the MU open. Also considering Sneakdoor in there too. Ideally you'll only have to break ice once or twice because the gameplan is to force rez where the corp doesn't want to.

First version of the deck was running more programmes though so there might be space now. Mr. Li's actually been great every time I've played it, it works well with the tight deck design. Lemuria is situational against Jinteki shell games.

You're right about Security testing. I think I will swap out for a Kati Jones or two.
