This is a standard Arissana deck similar to @YsengrinSC
's Hold The Waffles, but with some differences:
Now, the first version of this deck ran no Prognostic Q-Loop. Despite being one of my favourite cards, especially in Shaper, I just thought Q-Loop had too many moving parts and I wanted the influence for other things, specifically 3x Gachapon. But on our last day of practice before the event, I had some absolutely brutal Gachapon fires. Hitting 3x Aeneas Informants, LilyPADs or Urban Art Vernissages when I had none installed. Creative Commissions, Daily Casts and Environmental Testings when I was hoping to draw into my econ with LilyPAD… There were too many misses: it was clear that Gachapon had to go.
So I traded that influence for Prognostic Q-Loop last minute and found it much better, especially when I threw in 1x The Twinning. Together with Urban Art Vernissage we can clicklessly gain 1-2 Twinning counters each runner and corp turn:
I had a lot of fun with this deck at Irish Nationals, but with somewhat lackluster results to show for it. Except for a brutal tie vs a Keeling that went to time, every other game was a loss! But despite my awful track record, the deck operated very well and every game was close! If I had to suggest improvements, I’d definitely cut the Conduit and double down on either The Twinning or Prognostic Q-Loops, influence permitting. I’d then probably drop the Aeneas Informants for more Trojans or economy events. And as said above, DZMZ Optimizer doesn’t feel quite right for a deck that wants to spend hosted credits on the opponent’s turn.

Regarding the DZMZ Optimizer interaction, it’s a valid concern. It might be worth exploring other wordle 2 options that can help maintain your counters while still providing economic benefits. Cards like Dr. Lovegood or Crisis Management could potentially give you some of that synergy without sacrificing your Twinning tokens. |
maybe T400 Memory Diamond would help? it allows for more cards in hand (useful for storing cards for ari´s ability) and gives MU without discounts
