Turbo Bird (6-0 SC Winner)

Why is this called Turbo Bird?

Cuz it flies fast and hits like Hugh Douglas.

Maxx is fun. This is a fun Maxx deck. Your basic plan is as follows:

1. Go draw through your deck very fast, play your money cards and make money.
2. If they try to score, Stimhack the remote and steal the agenda.
3. Draw indexing and indexing them a lot.

Your plan vs. asset spam is slightly different:

1. Draw through your deck, play money cards and make money.
2. Play hacktivist a lot of times.
3. Stimhack their most expensive trash cards.
4. Draw indexing and indexing them a lot.

In summary: Play stimhack a lot. Play indexing a lot.

Scrubber is the worst card and can be cut for Mercs if you want to tech for CI Kill. I didn't because no one was playing this, but is a good cut. If there is a different card you want to play instead of Scrubber you have my permission. Maybe this should be the third stimhack. Stimhack is very good and I usually wished I had more.

Don't play any consoles. They are all bad (especially Maw).

Rebirthing 101: Some people think Rebirthing is a hard decision, but it is not. You should Rebirth into Omar. Maxx is slightly harder because the decision on when to Rebirth is actually a hard to decision.

You should rebirth as soon as you draw it vs. Skorp or Net Damage decks. Notably, Skorp has the biggest exception to the Just Rebirth Into Omar You Dummy (JRIOYD) Rule. Quetzel is pretty good especially if you do it before you install any breakers. Your opponent will realize you walk through all their Ice for free and be sad. Which is good because Skorp is not cool.

Other decks you should Rebirth into Omar once you 1. Have all the cards you need (all breakers in the bin) 2. They are starting to tax you out of HQ / RnD and single accesses are starting to be your best bet.

You do have to calculate how much better the Omar is than the Maxx draw, which is not always obvious especially if you want to Levy. However with 3x Inject and 3x I've Had Worse you have more draw than most Maxx decks (even the ones playing stupid cards like Street Peddler). Remember everyone helpful Street Urchins are less cool than Drugs.

Some basic tips for common decks:

1. CtM: Keep their econ down by Stimhacking Pad / DBS and pay the trace then trashing other Econ. You want to access lots of cards early because you don't have a good solution to Data Raven. You may be tempted to Rebirth into Ed Kim, but don't.

2. Barney Reversed CI: This is a very good matchup (unlike most Anarch decks). Keep Hacktivist up, access some cards fire some indexings and Stimhack Black Orchestra through FC3 and trash every Austerity at 2 counters.

3. Combo KI: This is not a great matchup. Mull aggressively for Turtle or Rebirth, access cards. Ice Carver and and Datasucker help keep the Loki, Mogo, CVS combo from being as stupid as it is. Worth teching for but realistically they just score 7 a little later if they are not a dummy. However, you can find 1x Mercs before they can combo 80% of the time if they don't have a scoring plan.

4. Aginfusion: Stimhack Stimhack Stimhack Stimhack Stimhack Stimhack. Watch out for Blacklist. In testing not as bad as you'd think, Hacktivist is good.

5. Skorp: Mull for Rebirth. Not as bad as you'd think, but sometimes you mill your Breakers and you lose. Try to get acccesses in early. Indexing is very good.

6. PU: Turtle is a very good card. Rebirth is a very good card. If you manage to Levy as Omar with Turtle out you are in Good shape. If they lockdown one of these three cards you are not in good shape.

7. Gagarin: This deck is not good. Hacktivist is good and you can outrecur them. Don't be afraid to Stimhack Hostile Infrastrastructure, Illegal Arms, Pad Campaign, Etc. Just trash everything. At some point run HQ when you got some extra clicks, but really just trash it all and then you can win by running archives and scoring 8 points they've pitched.

8. Moons CI: Mull for Hacktivist or lots of money. You win or lose based on winning the Hacktivist War. Trash lots of stuff. Again, don't be afraid to Stimhack Jeeves (which is secretly a very important cards to these decks). Trash the JEEVES.

In summary, Drugs are good. When you inject em they draw you the best drugs which give you lots of money and only hurt your brain a little bit but it doesn't really matter because Money > Your Brain. Library catalogue systems are also good.
