Would Alias be a better choice over Mongoose? Fun deck. I think it has a high skill level.

Step 1: CBI Raid; Step 2: Keyhole; Step 3: Archives; Step 4: Apocalypse !

Corp has no cards in hand or on the board and will be drawing random cards !

@Elodius @rogedavi Both in my opinion cards that work amazingly once in a blue moon, and clogs your deck up every other game. I've played lots of Siphon Leela back in the day, and I never once managed to Feint to kill Crisium.

@Dracon_ian Alias is just awful, both pre and post Mumbad cycle. The sweet spot for Alias is STR 4 sentries, which require 2 pumps from Mongoose, incurring an extra 2c cost compared to Alias. This extra cost is then offset because most popular sentries at that STR have multiple subroutines (Ichi 1.0, News Hound), which allows you to save on breaking subs. For basically every other low-mid range sentry, they're typically multisub, so Mongoose is a clear winner. We have Faust, link and Apocalypse to deal with stacked sentries, so it's almost as if Mongoose's single use per run limitation doesn't matter.

Salsette Slums to deal with the Hostile Infrastructures that will cramp your Apocalypse?

@michaeln I'll be tagfloating against any non-kill deck as soon as the first Siphon hits. Also, 2 influence is a hefty price to pay for a card that doesn't nothing in every other match up.

@michaeln I'll be tagfloating against any non-kill deck as soon as the first Siphon hits. That aside, if you can help me free up 1 influence I'd be happy to swap the Feedback Filter out for that.

How often are you bale to land a High-Stakes Job?

@Swiftie Admittedly it has fizzled on me a couple times. It's usually possible to pull off a successful run with just Passport and Breach installed, the problem is finding the capital to play the HSJ and make a successful run. Note that Siphon into HSJ is a beastly combo that knocks the Corp down while they're out of cash.
