Noise to the Maxx V1.1

WinterPlaysGames 1

Heavily inspired from vibes such as my friend's "eat hole" deck, this deck made it out to the tables about three weeks ago. I've tried to get better with it, and it has changed a lot, but eh. It's just not great.

Open soutout to anyone who can help me make this better! The theme I want to go with is kinda " eater, Keyhole, blackmail, hades shard, etc " I mill and then win without clashing with their ice too too much, but that is why I have the eater there. Woohoo!

No need for Memstrips with the Grimoire out. You should never need that much memory active on the board at one time with this type of deck. If you run out of memory and need more, you are installing too much needless crap.

Similarly, there's not much here at all that you'd really want to sell to Aesop's, so it's kind of wasted influence for a more-or-less dead card. Wyldside is also kinda needless, since MaxX draws you tons of cards anyhow, and IHW gets the rest. Right now you have way too much card draw, IMO. I'd ditch the Quality Time for the same reason. You can then use this free influence to put in a Levy AR Lab Access to refuel once MaxX runs you out of cards.

I'd also suggest a couple Same Old Thing as well in order to play events that MaxX throws out (also a key card if you put in Levy and MaxX ditches it).

That's my initial reaction. There's probably more you could do in terms of optimization of the deck, but this is a jumping off point.

@Saan Thank you very much for responding so quickly! I really appreciate having a friendly community at hand to help, especially since I can't exactly make a deck to save my life.

I'll take a look at your suggestions and throw up a new version later tonight!

I think there is too much card draw and not enough economy/recursion in this deck. Maxx already draws and mills a lot of cards for you, and you need more ways to get cards you need back. Things like Retrieval Run? maybe drop the Pawnshop for Clonechips. With just Crypsis and Eater, Wraparound and AI hate cards will break your day. I suggest one or two D4v1d for Wraparound ,Turing and Mimic to take care of swordsman. The slots used up for MemStrips can be freed up for more Parasite and Imp... Not sure if Self-modifying Code is really needed too, considering the rate Maxx finds her stuff. Maybe you can include Lucky Find, and top it all off with Daily Casts and Liberated Account for economy.

@Kasusfactus I just managed to get six new data packs, included in which are sime cards such as Lucky Find and D4vid. I'll see about switching them over, as well as maybe switching from maxx to maybe valencia ( for easy use of blackmail )

At first glance, a keyhole deck with 14 influence could definitely use a hades shard!

@robotussin Haha, I picked one up this afternoon. I was so excited when I got the data pack, I actually squealed with excitement!

I never really Like SMC with MaxX, her ability is a sort of "tutor" in a way, and SMC can't look into the heap, and the program you need is very likely to be there. I think Test Run might be more useful in this case (if you really want a dedicated tutor).

Quick plug for my own deck over here.

I've been running an Eater/Keyhole/Blackmail deck for a while now and having a load of success with it. Not the easiest thing in the world to play, but once you get your head round it, it works so well.
