SlySquids Provoke2Purge v1.0

SlySquid 4763

the Q-Coherence Chip are place holders for hiveminds till we can use it here....

The main thing you need to do when looking at this deck is how do the cards I've chosen work while I have Hivemind with 3+ tokens on it...

The point is to always have the Hivemind at three tokens, making the virus's ive chosen to play very potent making the corp have to make the tough choice of weather to spend his turn purging or have me build up more and more...

made a small video about the deck here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pyrycpuCQAU

FYI Inject and Q-Coherence Chip are REALLY anti-Synergistic. But otherwise I like this. I'd replace a couple extra Virus' with more Djinns, might save you some influence. Since you probably wont be running like crazy Hemorrhage might not be awesome. Cyberfeeder seems like a really good econ card in this deck, to either feed Darwin or play any of your other virii. Otherwise looks like a lot of fun, and if played right, powerful.

@bcavalier the Q-Coherence Chip are placeholders for hiveminds, they just dont let you use them as of yet...

I like the deck, but I am wondering if you would use incubator to keep hive mind as an active threat.

Edit: never mind just saw it there carry on.

I am surprised theirs no D4v1d it would mean you wouldn't need to get your darwin over 4 then to be able to get through anything.

@Pinkwarrior I really want, and started with, three copies... But I had to cut the deck down... I need to proxie as is and test it...

You have to understand that the point of the deck is to have hivemind at 3+, this makes Parasites come in at 4+ with Grimoire on the table, or 5+ if I install at the end of there turn...

If that doesn't kill the ice it will help me break with Darwin

With Hivemind at 2MU I'm wondering if more MU is needed every with a Grimoire on the table, and that's only 2x and Djinn 1x.

You make a great point @karmaportrait, I'm wrestling with having another Djinn anywho, maybe it'll work it's way into the deck faster...

I can that Djinn is phenomenal. Think of it this way, having it on the table lets you pay 1 cred, and turn what would have been a random draw, into the exact utility virus that will punish the corp the most. I know that's obvious, but when you're playing with that on the table it becomes really powerful. Heck, I've Djinned up Caches (with aesops/cyberfeeders out). With so many virus's and the point being to get the ones out that will provoke purges, it may be appropriate to have Djinns in this deck.

I feel like you'd want scavenge instead of clone chip. I took 2 scavenge and 1 clone to worlds, and it did very well. In your deck in particular, you can scavenge chakana after a purge, and then surge it (given you have grimoire in the deck...it'll get the counter from the install on scavenge) then surge it to 3, and its back on....provoking a purge already. Yes, you lose mid run clone chips, but meh, its worth it. If that works, I'd swap to crypsis, and stimhack. You can lock agendas in remotes, and stim-crypsis into the remote and score it. Think of it like a source :)

Also, it works with hivemind, you don't have to re-spend the 3 credits to reinstall with clone chip. Consider it....its very good
