Reckless 2.0

frontu 313

An Anatomy of Anarch deck for the new meta.

The idea behind this deck is to punch through their ice using AI breakers (Knight and Eater). And making those runs count with Account Siphon, Crescentus, and Keyhole. Face-checking ice early with Rook will slow the Corp down enough to get your AI breakers out and threaten R&D/HQ.

You win the game by trashing agendas before they can install them. If you see them setting up a scoring remote or they've been collecting cards for a while, Wanton Destruction. Otherwise, Keyhole + Data Leak Reversal.

Statistically only about 20% of random accesses will be agendas. This means accessing about 20 cards before you win the game! Wanton Destruction and Keyhole speed this process up DRAMATICALLY. With as few as 8-10 trashed cards it is not unusual to win the game.

Nice. I like the inclusion of knight. I totally agree that the new release has significantly re-energised AoA, its nice to see people trying stuff with Reina rather than defaulting to MaxX. Let me us know how you get on with this, looks like a strong build.

I also went back to AoA Reina Siphon. Im playing 2 Day Jobs and 2 Retrieval Runs which help out a lot. Day Job is straight money, but the Retrieval Run lets you get things that you Inject away back, while doubly allowing you to install DLR. I spent my remaining 3 influence on 3 Fall Guys to get multiple turns worth of DLR. I even aggressively Deja Vu them back. I also have Lamprey for continued economic HQ pressure but I really am liking the Wanton Destruction. I also have Dirty Laundry for tempo run econ. I find that this archetype can not sustain itself for the long game on just Account Siphon alone. Day job is a huge boon.

@IronRaven88, I've also found that AoA tends to be weak late game. Which is why I play really aggressively into the mid-game and take some big risks (like not having Plascrete Carapace) to get a decent win ratio. I don't think it'll ever be top-tier, but it's really fun to pound the Corps servers early and make them sweat :)

I like the Dirty Laundry idea. I originally took it out because it wasn't working with Overmind very well, but the deck has changed a lot since then :P

Also, Retrieval Run can't install Data Leak Reversal because it's not a program. Fall Guy is a smart include though.

I really wanted to fit lamprey in as well to my AoA, but the deck slots were really tight, i think in frontu's build the threat of economic pressure is there to make siphon work on its own, also wanton stops event econ.

Also, retrieval run counts as a successful run, so it can be used to install DLR AND a program.
