Are people favoring Shaper for this shell due to All-nighter and Hyperdriver? I’m a bit baffled. I still need to try my Anarch versions but I feel that Anarch is a good shell for this, with Joshua B.
laughing I am not a cool person. But the horns (at least the white ones – I also have a black set) often attract stares, and at least two other people (in real life, not online) asked me whether they’re a body mod. Sorry to disappoint!

I was playing this type of deck out of Val, blackmail is super nice for remote threat. I had a problem accessing archives what with Jackson Howard and archives ice and only eater as a breaker, but with keyhole siphon support. I’d say hades shard is key for this deck, but there’s lots of different designs for dlr/paparazzi
Just played against a Hyper-Mil Reina deck. It used Origami and Duggers to get set up. Then Stim Dealers and Joshua B for 7 mil turns. Vamp and Account Siphon, kept you too poor to just score out or trash the DLR through 3 fall guys. It was pretty effective. Faust and Eater in there too.
Here’s my list, derived from Windave’s a few posts prior. The thing that rockets it over the edge is Off-Campus and Drug Dealer, which let you draw like crazy for additional combo pieces. This allows you to switch over to a Faust shell, which is superior because you can threaten any server without having to burn Blackmail.

Things that I’d like to try out include Wanton Destruction (agendas often pool in the middle game while waiting for an upgrade like Caprice or SanSan/FA to safely score out under threat of Blackmail), Hacktivist Meeting (I have one in my deck but haven’t seen it very often.), and Oracle May (Possibly worth it, not sure what the magic number of resources is but odds of hitting resource are already 60%). Also, maybe Clots, or a Datasucker to keep ICE at even strength?
Possibly ways to counter the deck? Damage is generally unreliable, especially when fighting through Paparazzi and Drug Dealers. All-Seeing I would be great, if not for the Bad Publicity that Val has as protection. Freelancer and Sync ID are niche. Rushing agendas might be the strongest strategy.
As a side note, I really hope there’s a way to counter this type of strategy in the meta. It feels dirty, like I’m not playing Netrunner but a different game altogether.
Has anyone attempted DLR/Blackmail in Shaper? I was thinking Fan Site works great for Frame Job. Plus you get to enjoy the quick setup of Hayley, Hyperdrivers and superb draw. Fisk Investment Seminar is nice for helping to mill the Corp too.
Why isn’t Off-Campus Apartment being considered? Free card draw for playing all these connections, and we’re already running Fall Guy so the downside of having a crowded Apartment is somewhat mitigated.
Are the Siphons worthwhile? Do they cripple the Corp enough in this meta? or are they mostly used to drain the Corp down a bit to secure your Resources?
A deck that runs All Seeing probably runs archived memories (to hit Closed Accounts as well). Two shouldn’t be out of the question, but it certainly slows it down as a defense.
