The Maw

youngjastrow 25

Fun deck I built trying to go all-in on a discard theme. Won a GNK with this and an HB: AoT deck.

The Maw was much better than expected. The random discard made single accesses much more potent and it was very disruptive to corp plans by forcing discards on key operations, ice, and economy. Feels good forcing Biotic Labor, Grail Ice, and Midseasons into the bin!

Breaker suite isn't great and I'm not using all my memory so I am sure that upgrades can be made. Regardless, it's been an effective deck that has also been fun to play.

You have 3 spare memory you aren't using when Maw is installed. Why not put it towards making those less efficient breakers, MKUltra and Black Orchestra, more efficient with some Datasucker. Maybe put it towards some always useful multiacess with Medium and/or Nerve Agent? Maybe remove the Run Amok and the Spooneds (you're never going to have too much trouble getting through a barrier) for two Suckers and a Medium?

Hey, I've tweaked your deck to my own likings, but quetzal bhagat maw wrecks the place and I like it :D Like @PurinaBisonChow says, you got spare memory. I've dropped temujin and e3 feedback to cram in a sneakdoor, hades shard and some lamprey since we're aggressive on hq. If the corp can't reshuffle cards from archives they will protect it. If you've got hades shard out, they'll be less inclined because you can acces anyway. But since your hq pressure is so strong, they'll ice up hq pretty quickly, so sneakdoor helps out. And even if archives is protected it'll be less protected than hq.

I also play some immolation script. It's a bit situational and probably less reliable, but if you're milling, you'll trash the ICE anyway, and it has saved me a couple times already.
