Beyond the new icebreaker, I'm really enjoying Rebirthing into Kate early and being able to put on the pressure with a dynamic rig. Yaga has only been a part of some of my games, I've played a lot of kill decks in testing, so no definite opinion on it yet. It's a lot of set-up to get it rolling and econ is an obvious issue. Usually, I don't rush to get the Yaga combo set up, I just apply pressure where needed and wind up playing a pretty fun game with a smorgasbord of programs with plenty of recursion. I know there's tons of room for improvement here (I usually detest 45+ card Runner decks, but with the amount of kill I've faced, it hasn't been a burden thus far) and I welcome any constructive criticism.
