I play poorly against traps. Its a problem. Lets try to solve it.

  1. Get Money
  2. Get Breakers
  3. Know what every card on the table is.
  4. Maybe keep the corp poor
  5. Run

Problems with this current build:

  1. No multi-access
  2. No surprises (inside job, stimhack, indexing, etc.)
  3. Will get owned by fast-advance

Can they be solved? Is this even the right ID? Faction?

It's an interesting idea and a solid start. The use of Sihouette will certainly help reduce the number of traps you get caught by that are installed. Snare/Shock/Shi Kyu/etc. can still catch you in HQ/R&D/Archives.

I don't know if you really need infiltration in this deck, between snitch and Silhouette's ability.

I don't know if I would take Deja Vu instead of Levy... seems like Levy gives you more for you influence cost. I would definitely take Same Old Thing over Deja Vu as well.

You also might consider some more draw cards like Mr. Li or John Masanori, maybe even splash for Professional Contacts.

Also think about how you're going to get Sneakdoor and Snitch out, you can Special Order for the breakers but not for those...

In terms of econ, I'm not sold on Kati Jones for this deck... one of your concerns seems to be being owned by fast advance. If that is true faster economy would help you get your rig out. To that end you may want to use Armitage or Tri-maf instead of Kati (in combination with your other burst cards). I'm on the fence about Bank Job as well. I think that other cards would be more useful (like Same Old Thing).

Tell me about it :)

If I only have money for one run it lets me skip the hq run.

I don't know if I would take Deja Vu

Deja Vu lets me recur siphon, shutdown, sure game (more efficiently than SoT) .. but more importantly it lets me save my 1-of icebreakers.

You also might consider some more draw cards

Technically 6/40 are 'draw' cards .. so not sure how much more I want to devote, but I could see swapping in mansori or something else for express delivery.

In terms of econ, I'm not sold on Kati Jones for this deck

Me too. Kati and bank job are just ideas ... I'm bored of armitage :) Tri maf could be cool, but, I'm kinda planning on floating siphon tags ... which kills Kati too now that I think of it.

Also think about how you're going to get Sneakdoor and Snitch out,

I'm treating both as sorta 'nice to have' .. I don't have the memory for both anyhow. That might speak to just picking one and putting 2 or 3 in though .. for consistency of game plan.
