This is my second attempt at Valencia, now that I actually have the cards in hand. Keyhole runs fueled by bad publicity, Datasuckers, and the universally-efficient Eater threaten R&D and Archives, while Wanton Destruction and Account Siphon put pressure on HQ. Raymond Flint lets me snipe agendas from an HQ kept small by Itinerant Protestors and also can expose cards in remotes to make sure my Blackmail runs land. Stimhack/Crypsis lets me actually get in when it counts, such as collecting Keyhole-winning from Archives if I haven't found Hades Shard. Parasite/Datasucker/Memstrips/Clone Chip keeps everything efficient for me and awkward for the corp, and also acts as a Swordsman backup in case he becomes popular.

I'm a little concerned about money. I feel like in a 45 card deck that my economic package (3x Sure Gamble, 3x Daily Casts, 1x Stimhack, 2x Account Siphon (plus 3x Same Old Thing), supported by BP and Datasuckers) would work out, but I'm concerned about the consistency loss at 50 cards. I'm not sure what I would cut, though. I'd love to get Gravedigger in there, since I should be trashing a lot with Keyhole and Parasites, but don't really have the room. There's another version of this without Valencia that just drops all the BP stuff in favor of things like Gravedigger and Hemorrhage--maybe Noise.

I find your deck title intriguing and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

@Grimwalker I'm a sucker for stupid, literal pun titles.

My worry, as it always is with decks like these; Swordsman kills any breakers, the upcoming Turing can almost lock you out entirely, Wraparound is an expensive pain, Crisium Grid disrupts most of the deck's tricks pretty savagely.

Also, as I find with a lot of my decks, Blue Sun: Powering the Futures unique plays ruin everything. In this instance, if they run Elizabeth Mills, they can keep bouncing her to remove any bad pub.

Of course, it would be supremely unfortunate if you were to run into all of these things in the same deck, but it's worth planning for hard counters like Swordsman and Turing.

I do like all the bad pub plays, though. I suspect it'll tear the unprepared apart.

He has an answer in the deck with Parasucker/Clone Chip.

Blue Sun is legit as is Crisium. Crisium I think is perhaps the biggest threat to the Wooley anarch build. Swordsman is pretty damn easy with Parasucker/Clone Chip.

Needs more Doritos and Mountain Dew.

List looks very solid, but card draw worries me with 50 cards. Cheers!

It certainly needs more draw and money after a little testing--the size really does hurt consistency. My current thinking is:

-2x Raymond Flint -1x Vigil +3 Inject

I hate to lose the Vigil, since it's hard enough to find even a 3-of sometimes in this deck, but the Inject should help with that. I would also like more money, but figure that added draw will at least help me get to what I have more quickly.

Gravedigger only works if you trash an installed card; so Keyhole doesn't trigger Gravedigger.

Why Crypsis and not Overmind? MemStrips + Clone Chip seems great for Overmind.
