My goal with Skorpios: Facewrecker was to merge my previous two decks into a deck that does a little bit of both: trash cards from anywhere I can, followed up with flatlining the runner if possible. Unfortunately, what I ended up with was just another iteration of Kneebreaker, with some extra stack removal thrown in. Here is Skoprios: Facewrecker.

The astute may notice that Facewrecker looks a lot closer to Kneebreaker than it does to Toybreaker and that is for a few reasons. Toybreaker, being an initial deck build, had a fair amount of cruft that I was able to weed out in Kneebreaker, as well as tightening up my econ package and ICE choice.
Still, if I were to tune this further, I would probably pull Data Raven for Sagittarius (I don’t need quite that much tagging for a deck that wins by scoring agendas) and both Crisis Managements for some other agenda (probably a two pointer and then also add another Prisec.) This would hopefully help move avoid a too early bagging of the runner and allow a scoring window for Evidence Collection.
