Spyware v2.1

Keen to give this a try! Have had any issues against Wraparound given you have no Fracter now?

Wraparound hasn't given me much trouble. It's less popular in the meta with Resistor and Vanilla printed now. You can still just break it with Faust for 4 cards anyway. 4 cards is kinda easier to get than 5 credits to install Paperclip from the heap and break, especially when you're loaded up on cards for the Apocalypse turn.

Or Endless Hunger can break Wraparound for 1 card fairly easily.

I've been playing the previous version and have never wanted Endless Hunger once. I tend to find myself setting up the Faust+Reaver rig and not even wanting to Apoc either. How often do you find yourself actually using either of them.

I Apoc about once a game, and it generally has a pretty huge effect. Usually I like to have some of the tools in my hand to set up again before I hit the apocalypse. Endless Hunger is only good against certain faction matchups, ones that like to use cheap binary ice are probably the main ones. I could see cutting down to a single Endless Hunger to make room for something else ... it's just that when it's good, it's back-breakingly good. When it's not, then you can just install it face down.

Just wondering if it'd be worth dropping one Spy Camera for a The Turning Wheel? I get that they have synergy together and are one of the main ways to trash in the opponent's turn and the degenerate bullshit that permits with Reaver and Wasteland. Given the amount of card draw though it feels like a one of would be pretty easy to find. Thoughts?

Hell. Maybe a Special Order over one of the Faust just to free up the influence and potentially hunt out other stuff in a time of need? Déjà Vu might achieve the same sort of thing as another 2 inf slot.

Yeah I like special order in this. I could see cutting down a Faust for one. Turning wheel is ok for multiaccess... I tried it earlier... I feel like you want to dedicate 2 slots with it for multiaccess, so that'd be sacking 1xspycam, 1xFaust 1xspecial order 2xThe Turning Wheel, then losing like an endless hunger or a brain cage.

Actually. Thinking about it - Chop Bot 3000 is probably a better source of redundancy than the Spy Camera. Not sure how but I'd got it into my head that they let you trash in the opponent's turn. Tbh though I've been out for a little while and apparently Tags are all the rage right now so I am fully willing to accept that I'm wildly underestimating their usefulness.

It's really fun! But having to choose between maintaining both your Reaver and Faust and having memory left for Endless Hunger was a bit of a dampener.

The way I played it I also didn't feel inclined to Apocalypse after having the entire setup built, but that may have been a mistake as I'm not experienced in Apex: Invasive Predator.

I've been running with +1 Freedom through equality, +2 Magnum Opus, -1 Faust, -1 Spy camera, -1 apocalypse. I rarely ever use conspiracy breakers and ditch reavers if needed. Normal rig is Opus, Faust, dual Reavers. Freedom and Spycams are the best combo, just make sure no jackson are on board.

Opus is to money up against durdle corps.

Super fun and solid. Deck needs On The Lamb to stop breaking news destruction of wasteland. Tech's well with reaver amd wasteland as welll.

How has prey been working for you? have you been finding useful or just end up playing it face down?

As a silver bullet it works well and gain draw when needed. Without any good tag avoidance i have had a few games where wastelands get trashed and econ engine never gets going.... Losing a faust does hurt consistency but with the draw engine running it has been ok most games.
