BigG MaxX Ananas variant (2021-11-21)

JarekBaltar 28

This is my Worlds deck with some tweaks. I was planning to bring Maw to the Worlds, as I love this console, and BigG MaxX was a godsend!

Original deck based on [SBL 21.10 playtest] BigG MaxX

After playing against anarchomushroom's MaxX and watching thebigunit3000 on stream, I've decided to tweak my MaxX.

  • +3 Paladin Poemu - good for the early economy
  • +2 Political Operative - great against silly upgrades and recoco
  • +3 Mining Accident - yummy bad pub
  • +2 Salsette Slums - combos with Maw
  • +3 Aeneas Informant - makes multi-upgrade servers a joke. Also helps battle asset spam
  • −3 Gachapon - it just whiffs too often
  • −1 The Turning Wheel - one is enough
  • Deuces Wild - keep it at two (had 3 copies for Worlds)
  • −2 Falsified Credentials
  • −1 Knifed - although I might bring it back for Kakugo
  • −3 Data Folding - great econ, but blank if Maw is milled
  • no Trickster Taka (had 2 copies at Worlds) - iffy, mostly useful later in the game
  • no Hunting Grounds (had 2 copies at Worlds)

Likely changes in the next iteration: +1 Knifed (bring it back), +1 Mystic Maemi, +1 Trickster Taka

Appreciated your write-up. I'm curious about what you played at Worlds... was it the original SBL deck, or were there previous tweaks?
