[Chaos Theory] The Forgotten Shaper Child

@SamRS

her only real thing that set her apart from kate was stimshop, and haley and nasir both do that better now

@Calimsha

Can we just agree that both are rubbish and that everyone playing anarch should just play Maxx, noise, Reina or valencia? That’s 4 time the amount of viable ID compared to Shaper

@mediohxcore

(list of runner decktypes worth testing against, 3 Crims, 5 Anarchs, PPVP Kate as only Shaper

All of above was posted today. Really? Is everyone here sure that there is no viable green deck other than PPVP Kate and the only interesting question is how Blacklist affects optimal decoder choice for this deck?

What CT does best is “install quickly the minimum you need and then mix earning money with running (and sometimes draw to get your powerful events)”. Kate and Hayley have install-centered abilities. Nasir’s ability indeed is great for Stimshop deck, but it makes him fragile in late game and doesn’t work well with Opus. CT gives you perfect MU for Opus + breakers rig (allowing one extra “trick” program once you install Astrolabe), 40 cards make you more likely to draw Opus/Workshop/Stimhack quickly and the style of play of this deck doesn’t need any other Shaper’s ability.
