Morning Star Rex v1.0

Dijirati 52

The Pitch… Chaos paints it, then it breaks just about everything for 1c.

What we have is a big rig deck with a goal in mind but it has enough varied components to play many different ways in route to that end. Everything here is fairly straight forward - run early and often while without a rig to get ice rezzed, get Magnum, SMC face first into solo HQ ice with Account Siphon, the solo R&D ice with Indexing. Use Modded to get your Plascrete (if needed), Mem Chips, Dinosaurus, or (Insert Icebreaker of choice) in play coming off of Diesel so not to waste cards into archives and save a little cash. However, if you must dump a valuable program there are plenty of ways to get them back - we are green. The get what remaining programs you need and compete construction on Morning Star Rex.

Ah, Morning Star Rex (MSR). Morning Star is truly a gem on Dinosaurus. 7 Strength, breaks any number of barrier subroutines for 1c, and the 2 memory counts against you not- #jussayin. Now, if you find Dino first great. If not, play Morning Star solo and then scavenge it on the Dino when you find and or Test Run/SMC for it. The Paintbrush here is meant to be a mid to late game component that can catch the corperation off-guard once they have the lions share of their ice rezzed and it works like a champ. Fem pairs with what Scavenges and Test Runs you have remaining bouncing from problem ice to problem ice as needed in the mid to late game but there are very few ice that will cause you a problem. They are:

Hadrian's Wall once advanced. Curtain Wall as the outermost ice. Ice Wall or Shadow 7 times advanced. Janus Wotan

Aside from them. If its rezzed then you can paint it and break it for 1c.

Keep in mind you'll not have to break subs relying only on MSR. With Morning Star on Dino you 5 memory plus the 4 more courtesy of CyberSoulutions. And with 9 you can build just about anything you want anyway you want.

I have to emphasize running early as you find your way to Magnum Opus. You want the Corp to spend money and rez ice so that you are aware of the landscape because your greatest pitfalls will be the destroyer ice that has not yet been rezzed. So have a Test Run in hand, an SMC in play, or a Clone Chip on the table with Sharpshooter in Archives because you will need it with as much rig destruction is out there right now. In Jinteki's case you would do well to get Deux as well.

I wanted to find room for Tinkering and I think the Modded could be dropped for it - I will play around with that and see how it goes. I imagine it could go either way I just feel Tinkering is a card more suited for Kit's style of play.

Ive had a blast stomping over ice with this thing! When you are trampling ice and printing money like Disney off of Mag you sure feel like a titan! Hope someone has fun giving this one a try!
