Basket of Evil

If you are still, for some reason, playing standard after Worlds 2022 and before the release of Parhelion, but instead of exploring fun jank like some may you are intent on being toxic, this may be a deck for you.

The deck is centered around MCA Austerity Policy, like most mirrormorph decks, and is trying to build a remote with it and a bunch of nasty upgrades to make runners not wish to run it. Once you've stolen 3 clicks from them, cash in and score out an agenda. Using Restore and other copies of MCA, rinse and repeat until you've won the game. If the runner trashes MCA or other cards, punish them with Riot suppression.

Bladderwort is here because I've found it to both be something annoying you can install in the open while MCA is ticking and something you can install in your remote if you currently don't have access to MCA. The random core damage caused by Riot Suppression and Tempus make its pings more impactful. Unlike MCA, it can't win the game by itself, so overwrite it once you can install your next MCA or have a good scoring window.

Warroid Tracker has been very useful against Freedom and Miss Bones, perhaps there should be another one in the deck, the downside of it compared to other upgrades is it isn't useful if you need to pivot to using your remote to score agendas like a normal person.

I had a dream that Eric won worlds on this sort of deck, like, 5 months ago.
