Blitzkrieg Bop 1.2 (Armored Gopher Games SC Winner)

Hrapp 69

So, this deck is the latest iteration of Prepaid MaxX I've been working with. With lots of playtesting, I've been slowly tweaking it in the last weeks. The changes from the first form of this deck were to nix Joshua B. for Same Old Things, remove all Datasuckers, Parasites, and MemStrips to make use of cutlery events and Vamp. Then, since I was only running one virus (Crypsis) at that point, I switched Grimoire out for Vigil. The result is a pretty large deck, but I'm pretty happy with every piece in it.

MVP's:

Vigil: I had no idea how much work this card would do! The results were either drawing 2 cards a turn, and discarding 2. FANTASTIC for event based econ. The other result was for my opponent to keep 4 cards in hand at most, setting up the Wanton Destruction to devastating effect, without needing Amped Up near as often.

Vamp: This card performed pretty crazily. Most of the players in my area have come to expect the occasional Account Siphon from just about any runner. Typically they make sure that losing 5 credits won't bankrupt them. But when I Vamp away 15+ credits from the corp, suddenly the game is completely different. It rather effectively disrupts perceived score windows when they only see an Eater in play.

Cutlery: These have worked swimmingly for me. Much faster than when I was running parasites. The look on an ETF players face when they rez a Wotan only see him Knifed to death the next click is priceless.

Same Old Thing: It seems pretty obvious, but given the deck runs 32 events, the sheer number of options that SOT opens up Is pretty nasty. Also, SOT definitely helped me feel more confident about being able to play the Levy AR Lab Access when I need to.

Possible card changes:

Morning Star really wrecks face in the right match ups. Eli, Swarm, and Next Silver are pretty common sights in my meta. We even have a guy who plays Tyrant in his Tennin deck. But after switching out the Grimoire for Vigil, the memory is really tight. I've been considering switching one or both for a Corroder, given that sometimes I just really need a fracter on the field to shut off Wraparound

Account Siphon Can be really effective, but the influence is pretty fierce. I've been considering cutting it to fit a Hades Shard, and have some influence left for a decoder worth a damn.

This deck went undefeated in my last Store Champ yesterday. It was only 15 people, but I feel it performed really well. My Corp, AstroBiotics NEH with Chronos and Cyberdex, only lost 1 game (in the swiss) If anyone is interested, I could post that deck list as well, but it's nothing super innovative.

I like the actual rig. I run 3 MS and 3 Femme in mine, and just big rig the corp to death. I imagine you had similar reactions, especially these days when the corp is sure you're primarily just running Eater.

Do you really think PPVP is that great? I've personally panned it as too slow for anarch.

@x3r0h0ur I like PPVP, given that you are playing nearly an event every turn. If you have a prepaid in hand, it'll pay for itself within 2 turns or so. I don't think of it as too slow. Every game is different, of course. You aren't going to be able to play them every time. I'm not sure I'd Déjà Vu for one, but I have never seen one in hand and debated on playing it.

As far as rig goes, I forgot to mention it, but Crypsis has thrown more than one player for a loop. I like it in the final rig just because it can break anything I need to in a pinch, and still access cards like normal. Very useful for cards like Crisium.
