The new version of my Valencia Blackmail deck. After tinkering with it throughout our League, this is the next version I've come up with.

The main plan of attack is to be able to pressure HQ and remotes early on while using Valencia's Bad Pub to pay for programs on Personal Workshop. This allows for instant-speed Parasite, Medium, or breaker shenanigans.

I decided to get rid of Duggar's, as much as I love it, just because the amount of cards I had to pitch without really good ways of getting them back just wasn't worth it. Instead, its turned into Earthrise Hotel and Inject.

I've also re-committed to the Hivemind/Grimoire setup, as I learned that Hivemind + Parasites on Personal Workshop allowed Valencia to be more aggressive with running. Itinerant Protestors is back as well, because its a very good HQ attack card and can counteract any ELP or Housekeeping shenanigans. I thought about using Vigil over Grimoire, but the extra virus counters help a lot.

Isn't Overmind a bit tight in memory with only two MemStrips (do they show up on time?)

Actually, I've updated this deck recently. I took out MemStrips, Datasucker, and Morning Star, and added Dirty Laundry, an extra I've Had Worse, and a third Overmind. Typically you'll get a first Overmind out with just 3 counters, but it'll do its job for the first few runs. Then you'll be getting them for about 5 with Grimoire and hosted viruses on Progenitor. That plus D4v1d will be enough for any icebreaking needs you have (which shouldn't be too many).
