"Stims Ruined My Life" - Apocalypse Spam

”Seriously though, even if you’ve orchestrated a personal end of the world, it doesn’t mean life ends elsewhere.”

Sorry, friend. It does.

Two things here, in order of importance: Brain Damage (self-inflicted), and Apocalypse.

I’ve wanted to do a proper Stim deck for such a long time now (it’s been too long from last time), and I was really inspired by a few decks we built casually last weekend during a dedicated Netrunner fest. This idea, and obsession, doubled with the introduction of Hervanta Shop, fueled the creation of Apo_Dealer.

The main prospect is pretty simple:

Gain money, install Eater, and use extra clicks on Stimdealer and Amped Up to whatever to fire Apocalypse as often as you can. You’ll survive the brain damage. If you’d die to it, you’d lose anyway. Just don’t worry about it.

If you’re opposing kill, mind the cards and stim withdrawal effects as long as you can. Then pop Amped-Up, and go to town with Wanton Destruction. That’ll clear their kill combo. Proceed with dragging the corp down with you on your stim-ridden ride.

You’ll be surprised by how exhilarating Stim Dealer can be.

::Flex slots::

::Career Fair:: To be fair, we’ll see if this is worth it. The influence could be used for an Account Siphon, if you drop a third Apocalypse, or a Femme, or whatever your heart desires. In that case though you might want to re-evaluate your economy build.

::Hacktivist Meeting:: It’s pretty dull to be hit with Corp currents, and this might wreck their HQ in preparation to a Wanton Destruction. This could be Rumour Mill to clear Jackson, but they’ll most likely pop their Jacksons pre-emptively anyways these days.

::Stimhack:: Well, it’s more stims. It’s kind of set by theme. You might find replacing one with Immolation Script, a third Amped Up, or just cutting it altogether might work for you.

This deck could well work (even better) with any other runner, like Quetzal or Edward Kim, but MaxX is a thematic starting point I’ll definitely try this deck out with.

Have fun wrecking the universe! If your life sucks – so should suck everyone else’s.
