Circus of the Damned

Take a regular Circus Hayley deck and throw in Apocalypse and Watch the World Burn.

Apocalypse goes great with Brahman, Aesop's Pawnshop, Clone Chip, and Compile, letting you stash or trash valuable icebreakers/D4v1d for resetting your board quickly, and selling off old cards for a cash infusion over the next several turns. Most of all, it's your insurance against glacier decks that stack a huge Surveyor/Border Control/Jinja remote, but leave their centrals weakly defended. The deck is already running spare copies of unique cards, so Apocalypse turns dead draws into good draws. If the threat of Apocalypse means the corp has to hold ICE back, that means getting in is that much easier. If they don't know it's coming, it can just straight win you the game.

Watch the World Burn is your insurance against CtM/asset spam and ambush-heavy decks like Biotech. Apocalypse helps too, but removing all Cerebral Overwriters from the game (taking no damage) is very strong, as is removing anything from CtM without taking any tags. And you can recur it any number of times with The Shadow Net. Just remember it's a terminal event.

Is it better than a normal Circus Hayley deck? Probably not. But it's extra spicy!
