Gambling your way through college

Similar in many ways to Dumpster Gamble, but with a number of notable differences.

First of all, by playing in Haley, we are going to lose Exile's glorious card-drawing abilities. This is unfortunate, but it does mean that we have less incentive to run Scavenge or Test Run, so that frees up some deck space. Losing Scavenge also disincentivizes Cyber Cypher, since we're not going to be able to bounce it around anymore. We hang on to a single Scavenge to bounce Femme and replenish D4v1d, but it's not the cornerstone that it is for Exile. Haylee's install efficiency means that we can go just slightly more resource heavy, adding 2 Drug Dealers to help make up for the loss in drawing power, 1 Film Critic for those crucial RP and, to a lesser extent, Butchershop matchups, and 3 Sacrificial Construct. We'll get at that in just a moment.

We're also opting to run R&D Interface instead of Medium in this build. This decklist is somewhat less aggressive than the original Dumpster Gamble, since the addition of Clot is going to give us a more favorable matchup against fast advance. Gordian Blade replaces Cyber Cypher, and Sharpshooter is considerably less necessary in this deck. Atman rounds out our breaker suite, giving us a reliable way to break through multiple Archers and other problem ice throughout the game.

Let's talk about Sacrificial Construct. This card has several pivotal uses in this list. The principal function is to protect Scheherazade from the likes of Marcus Batty and the upcoming Keegan Lane. Losing your daemon means losing your rig, and the limited recursion available in this deck makes that a losing proposition. The secondary use of the Construct here is to ensure that your Clot is in fact turning off fast advance. Cyberdex Virus Suite no longer gives the corp a safe window with which to score its agendas out of hand, since Sacrificial construct keeps Clot on the table. Finally, against decks where neither scenario is relevant, it's a reliably cheap card to pawn.

The biggest weakness this deck suffers from is a lack of significant HQ pressure, but it does allow agendas to build up by constantly threatening to steal.
