The Apexalypse

Altoecko 32

This deck has given me a win/loss of 20/7 so far on Jintek.net and it is a lot of fun to play. They always see Apocalypse coming from a mile away but there isn't much outside of Crisium Grid and Turing on a central they can do to stop you from blasting their board to archives.

So, you wanna mulligan if you don't get at least one of the following: (in order of importance)Chop Bot 3000p, Quality Time, Data Folding, or Overmind.

The deck uses the awesome power of e3 Feedback Implants to make most any server susceptible to your voracious bite. Turing and Swordsman make for a challenge but they're why Prey is still in the deck. You are very weak the turn after Apocalypse so be sure you have enough cards in hand to deal with that. If they let you waltz trough all 3 centrals then they probably have a way to kill you next turn and you should run on their scoring server you were aiming to blow up rather than use Apocalypse. Don't be afraid to run with just Endless Hunger. Also, the turn you use Apocalypse towards the end of the game, you're going to want to trash all your nice cards so they can get shuffled back into the deck with Levy AR Lab Access. Currently second guessing 2nd Scavenge but not sure what to do instead, maybe Day Jobs?

The deck has lost to Neural EMP 1 time and 2 times from being Source Scorched after an Apocalypse run. Housekeeping sucks and seriously hampers you, get rid of it as soon as possible.

Hostile Infrastructure XD Of course, I would need to get rid of Heartbeat

I am still under the conviction that Chop Bot 3000 is just a bad card in this deck. Unless there are quite a number of key pieces you need to get, it's more or less stagnating your board state every time you use Chop Bot.

I like your Prepaid VoicePAD idea. I personally use Account Siphon instead for a lot of early pressure and economy. Prepaid VoicePAD gets deactivated with Apocalypse, and that's my only concern with it.

I have currently worked around the Turing/Swordsman problem with ZU.13 Key Master and Mimic. ZU.13 works well with Dyson Mem Chip and Mimic is pretty cheap for the influence. If you don't expect to need them, then it's face down fodder.
