AKA Build a big ol' cussing rig and score the points.
This is the 4th attempt at the Theory and by far the strongest. After tons of play testing and local tournament practice we are now left with the most consistent deck I've created.
The Basics:
3 Multithreader... this card. This build used to run Cyberfeeder and The Toolbox but too often they would sit in hand and not do anywhere near as much impact as Stimhack and Astrolabe.
2 Stimhack. Having two of these makes me feel so confident as the runner. Most corp players don't expect the second and allows me to use one early to set up a rig and one later to score a win.
GS Shrike M2. I used to run with Garrote but it wasn't doing enough for me and I needed the influence for the extra Stimhack. Instead Shrike with Multithreader results in efficient sentry clear.
I'm surprised every game how quickly my rig is set up and ready to cut through any server. The combination of Personal Workshop and Modded get's everything out for cheap. I'll often just Modded out every Multithreader I see and load of my Personal Workshop for a big Stimhack install.
There is no secret technique to this deck. Super self explanatory and efficient.
Early game: It is super rare to have a "bad hand" with this deck. I've rarely had to mulligan. Install Daily Casts and draw for Magnum Opus. Stimhack early game to eatheer blow up a server or, more often use the 9 to pop a couple SMC's and get that rig out.
Mid Game: Install all the things. Nothing is useless and game specific so if you can Modded out Multithreader, Do It! This point of the game is all about taking a relatively slow deck and making it fast. Diesel first click and Personal Workshop everything drawn is a common turn.
End Game: Your Time. Running is free and HQ and R&D are doomed. The Corp has lost the fun in rezzing ice, knowing that it will be free for you to break it. This deck has skipped through many a Blue Sun server with ease.
Replacements: I've cut the Feedback Filter for a Plascrete Carapace or Atman in the past, I just had enough of Personal Evolution and Cybernetics Division hurting my brain and the Atman would just sit in my hand most of the time. Daily Casts is the next weakest card and have swapped it for Dirty Laundry in the past.
As Always, any advice is appreciated. Thank you for all your help thus far!
