All-in MaxX

Well, as the name implies, this deck is all about going all-in. You're playing without Levy (to fit a 3rd Siphon) so you've got one shot. After having played 50+ games on Jinteki.net (with a 75% win rate and no mulligans - for purpose of practice) and taking careful note of how often you're actually runing out of cards I've reached the conclusion that you very (very) rarely need Levy. However, having that 3rd Account Siphon means you draw them earlier or they hit the heap earlier (for Same old Thing or Deja Vu) which adds additional pressure on your opponent. Having a second femme also means that you can deal with heavy ice better and be even more aggressive.

At the NACH Qualifier in Örebro, Sweden on 27 February this deck went undefeated allowing a total of only 5 Agenda Points to be scored on the opponent’s side in the 4 rounds. It requires practice of course to get the nuances of how to play, and when to shift focus between central servers. You also need to learn how to beat people who are good at playing around Siphon. But if practicing a lot isn't a deterrent then I would definitely recommend that you give this deck a shot!
