I'm dubious about this deck's capacity to get generate enough money and memory to support this rig. From experience Study Guide is a big econ drain, and while Omni-Drive seems like a good idea you are having to wait for it to appear before you can install your breakers, unless you want to use up a Scavenge, which you would also need in hand.

I like the concept, and I can see what you're doing, but from experience with running a Study Guide Kit I think you'll spend most of your time broke or flooded with events.

I would suggest ditching 1 Spooned, and Omni-Drive, replaying them with Akamatsu Mem Chips, (since your current rig cannot hold a Magnum Opus, Paintbrush and Self-modifying Code together. Consider adding Modded for cheap, quick install, or having some Daily Casts to boost your money. You don't want to be using your clicks for Mopus or Paintbrush all of the time.

I ran Box-E and Public Sympathys to retain a large hand-size, (which protected me from Butchershop, and freely used Stimhack to dump the credits into Study Guide.

Good luck, and let me know if you want any advice. :)

Hi @Mechanoise Thanks for the commments. Since this is my third try commenting (fucking N.Z. internet), you get a really short version:

1 stage: find opus!!!!!! (all your econ from now on)

2 stage: got omni in hand? Find study guide and run. if not? find gordian and run!

3 stage: find paintbrush for those pesky double-ice thangs. scavenge your gordian blade for a omnistudy (btw, get omni by now). Keep running - mainly hitting RND

4 stage: when pantbrush gets to hard: find lady and femme and start running mainly RND.

The idea is that you have a strong early-game with magnum+decoder - kinda strong midgame with decoder + paintbrush, and strong lategame with: opus, omnistudy, lady and femme - hitting RND hard.

Spoon the horrible "nope" ice - use wisely.

Escher for RND-codegate-stacking.

Actually, the revised deck looks like this now - going 7-1 on jinteki.net so far : netrunnerdb.com
