Tāo exhaled, the med-exoskeleton faithfully stabilizing him. In that absent breath, he reached through layers of waldos and optimizers and plucked the errant molecule from the chip.

    If I have multiple DZMZ Optimizers installed, do their discounts stack?

Reviews

Best MU you can get in faction. So good in fact that we will see this splashed out of faction, even with 2 influences to pay.

If you install 2 programs, you pay for it. More and you make a profit. If you get it before you install 6 programs (3 breakers and 3 Rezeki, for a typical shaper), it will pay for itself and pay in advance for other DZMZ Optimizer you would have in the deck. This replace Akamatsu Mem Chip for shapers, in my opinion. If you are lucky and get the 3 DZMZ Optimizer on the board, most of you program will be nearly free. Shapers want to install lots of programs and DZMZ Optimizer will help them do just that. This has a great synergy with most shaper strategies (big rig and the like), it is a wonder why it is only 2 influences.

Also, this will fit perfectly in deck using Khusyuk. There is plenty of cards with a cost of 2 credits in shapers and neutral. Making it easy to use Khusyuk without really having to build a specific deck around it.

Good art, nice flavor text, amazing shaper hardware.
