The Lazy Boyfriend (Prepaid VVHIZZARD)

theboycobra 64

Strategy - maximizing the extreme efficiency of 6 recurring credits per turn, paired with the speed of inject+heap breakers and parasite. You know the drill, take your orange cards and smash them into the corporation!

Prepaid VoicePAD coming off the MWL is going to open up a lot of deck building options, with Temujin becoming a harder include, all the factions have fairly ample access to unique and powerful event economies. I chose to use Whizzard as my runner, because needing Wyldside, Adjusted Chronotype, AND PPVP means I don't really want to have to rely on imps or scrubbers too, just to keep up with asset spam.

I like to mulligan for a PPVP or a Wyldside, though a grip with a lot of other draw/economy can do in a pinch (or you're a superstitious muilliganeer). You basically just play cards and run servers, it's so easy even a deadbeat could do it. Take your free money and spend it on more money or breaking the corp's toys.

If you wanted to play Faust, you could wring 3 influence from the deck by downgrading the Deuces Wilds into Day Jobs, but spending all my clicks at work isn't every lazy. I'm trying to spend my government paycheck on toys. Plus, with such an insane amount of draw, losing all your clicks to a single event can be cumbersome. Still, with all the duplicates and heap breakers, and IHW/Inject, even a single copy would dial your pressure up to 11.

Inject/I've Had Worse sing when you're not paying credits for them, helping keep the wheels moving and plenty of your programs want to be in the heap, the others can wait a round until after you Levy. Losing a parasite or both your mimics is annoying, but hardly a corner case worth worrying about.

It would be nice to squeeze in a tad more ICE destruction but for now, this is what I've been able to make space for: 1x spooned, 2x parasite, 1x deja vu, 1x same old thing. I think spooned is the best choice since the current meta has many strong code gates, many of the cards parasite can't handle are code gates, to eat fairchild 3.0, and black orchestra is garbage.

Maw has had mixed results. Still, this deck is drenched in draw power, so Obelus doesn't make much sense. We can afford Maw and it helps crank up pressure on HQ. On the plus side, HQ tends to fill up with operations, agendas, or ICE - e.g cards without a trashcost, e.g. cards I can't spend my allowance on trashing. So we trash them for free.

Turntable could be an affordable alternative if you cut some of the money from the deck to make space for other cards.

the 1x interdiction is a stopgap. It really isn't enough to handle decks with multiple powerful upgrades, but if you are aggressive in trashing them, sometimes you can get away with sniping them one at a time. Still, it's (slightly) better than a councilman, since it's better for getting into stacked remotes at least once. Rumor Mill lacked finesse, but I had forgotten how much I disdain triple Caprice triple Batty triple ASH

1x deja vu/1x same old thing: splits the dependence on keeping your board clear from tags, or losing your recursion to net damage. It's six in one, half dozen in the other. Deja Vu is better for parasite mileage, while Same Old Thing is good for recurring spooned or lucky find before you reset your stack.

I think the amount of draw this deck has makes 1x Salsette Slums acceptable, go +/- as you see fit.

A clot wouldn't be the worst card to plug in here, though I've been able to (marginally) keep up with fast advance decks so far.
