The Void Prophet 1.0

CodeMarvelous 20021

alt text This is my first attempt at a good stuff Null build. It has been doing really well. His ability is interesting because when it comes through it is impactful.

All cards in this deck are about getting ice low to make breaking more efficient for back to back turns of medium dig.

I am frequently able to set up a situation where I am breaking all ice for purely subroutine costs.

Feedback appreciated.

i'm surprised that there's very little recursion. Do you find yourself running through the deck too quick? or has it not been an issue? maybe a trope or 2 would be a nice inclusion over an earthrise or 2?

2 Yog with 3 Parasite seems overkill. we gotta find the 46th card here! optimize!

I like Null's ability and the basic framework of the deck. I've always enjoyed just Reg anarch builds, so this is certainly up my alley. There are a few things that jump out at me. I think the obvious 46th card here is the third copy of Deja Vu. I think two copies is more than enough. If you aren't MaxX it's a dead card early, and I see just pitching your first Deja Vu to Null's ability because it will often be the worst card in your hand. Getting back two Parasites for Null is nice, but it can also be slow and costly.

Also, for an anarch deck with three copies of Career Fair, it hurts my heart to not see one copy of Bhagat, he's just so good, especially if he's free.

I'm on a fairly similar looking build myself, and I'm with @moistloaf, 2x Yog.0 is probably too many. I decided to make my second one a Faust, but using it as a stop-gap/emergency breaker (you know, like an AI breaker!) rather than an end-all-be-all breaker. I still have a Yog, but my first code gate breaker is usually Parasite.

I ran something really similar at a local store this past week. It did really well. Stephenball is correct on the Deja Vu thing. You don't need more than 2. I don't, however, agree that 2 Yog and 3 Parasites is overkill. With the presence of Clone Chip, that's actually quite a bit of ICE you can kill over the course of a game, even some just with Null's ID + Parasite alone. Enigma comes to mind. :) Bhagat is gravy, IMO. If it doesn't make it in, not the end of the world.

One more thing...I'd find a way to get a 2nd NRE in here. It'd be a low-down dirty shame if a Lotus Field was blocking you from doing anything, and your lone copy of NRE was stuck lying at the bottom.

If Net-Ready Eyes is just for dealing with Lotus Field, you could use Faust for that as well. I've also been wondering about Atman 4 in lists like these.

Get rid of 1 yog and put in sMc :). 3 déjà vu especially in opening hand is too much (the 46th card). I like this deck, I hope it works.

Crap forgot about d4vid mwl. Clone Chip vs sMc I guess.

@moistloaf``@CodeMarvelous46th card is 3rd sucker easily. You're Null with carver and net-ready. Maaaybe the 3rd Deja, but I'd cut sucker 1st.

I would also consider somehow finding room for either protection (Hopper/Plascrete), recursion (probably Trope) or surprise HQ pressure (Nerve Agent/Bhagat).

Thanks for all the feedback

Any room for Nfr or Paperclip? Both serve a great purpose in this deck.

The anarch deva is also not a bad option, it beats lotus, and can handle some problems that mimic will fail at (Susanoo, Archer with no carver/suckers). Expensive to install, though.

@IonFoxI guess the third datasucker is good to get it early. I would agree that the third Deja Vu is likely the one excess here.

i don't think d4 is needed in 2x, here...

I think substituting in Nfr for Corroder would be the right call. If there's a deck to put it in, this is it.

This is REALLY close to where I've gone with him. Interesting. However, I plan on blowing some stuff up with my multiaccess. :)

Tried this deck yesterday in casual play. I love how simple it operates. Plenty of money, plenty of breaker power. Even the omnipresent Midseasons couldn't really rain on the resource-reliant money parade. Thanks!
