Deck Notes
Trying to unlock the potential of the Paintbrush, @AKAnderson and I have put together what I think is a deck with a good combination of early pressure/facechecking ability and solid rig shaper.
The main pieces: Dagger - This is your primary breaker and with its support pieces it is extremely efficient. Cloak - Where else would you keep your Dagger? Silencer - Cause Daggers can be awfully loud. Paintbrush - You're an artist and icy servers are your canvas. Dinosaurus - Because it's surprisingly good with a Dagger. Forged Activation Orders - Leave no ice unturned.
Now that Dagger has 6 cards that can pump up his strength, it is now realistic to play it and consistently have 3 or 4 creds to pump with. Test Run and Replicator make sure you can get what you need and have multiples. Throw Dagger on a Dino and even with only a single Cloak/Silencer you can safely facecheck ice with no fear of painful sentry damage.
My biggest issue with Yog+Paintbrush is that you cannot facecheck safely. So sentry shenanigans rob you of early pressure and keep you scared of all unrezzed ice.
Note: With paintbrush decks you absolutely have to be able to facecheck ice! So having a killer as your main icebreaker is vital. So important.
Atmans are for multiple ice neutralization and Chimaera (paintbrush hater ice). This deck wants to full-court press, hit different servers and keep pressure on throughout the game.
