MWL1.2 Apoc Whizz (1st BABW LCQ)

Nice to see this decklist. I was also changing my original deck in this direction (cutlery, Day Job, Wanton Destruction).

Yeah, Parasite is not that impressive, especially without Datasuckers.

I'm still having a hard time playing against SYNC kill decks. Obelus helps, but it usually gets Best Defenced. Maybe an additional Wanton Destruction would work.

Thank you for sharing this list! I've been enjoying the heck out of it. I've found Turntable to be great vs. Sync. And Apocalypsing a Moon deck is just great. You even have enough run events to get through Enhanced Login Protocol without losing a click, making the Apocalypse possible!

I feel like the one thing I'm struggling with is not using the cutlery enough. When is it most effective? I don't want to bother destroying ice when I'm just going to Apoc, but then I end up discarding it and not playing it at all, since I need to keep the Apoc, Mad Dash, back up Eater, etc., in hand.

@osclate: I most frequently find myself using cutlery to pressure HQ. By forcing corps to keep committing more ICE and credits to defending HQ from siphon, you detract from their ability to create a scoring remote or defend R&D. This often sets up situations where they still haven't had chance to shore up R&D by lategame, meaning you can snag the last few points with Keyhole, or Apocalypse them if it looks like they're about to stabilise. Plus, if you can soften up HQ, it increases the credit gain potential of your siphons and makes it cheaper to land your apocalypse in the first place.

If you think you can contest the remote, it can also often be worth using cutlery on the remote to deny them a way to safely get rid of agendas entering HQ (though if they overcommit to the remote they leave themselves vulnerable to apocalypse.) Remember that as you're siphoning them and trashing their HQ/remote ICE, agendas are gradually leaving R&D and trickling into HQ. For example in the game against RP in Ben's video I switched to more of a remote lock strategy partway through the game when the corp player looked like they were feeling pressured to score out.

Other than that it's just a case of proactively exploiting any openings your opponent gives you. E.g. Your opponent tries to rush out an agenda behind a single ICE hoping you won't be able to get through with Eater, you can run to force the rez then run again with the cutlery. Or perhaps their R&D is lightly ICEd so you trash that, forcing them to choose between scoring the agenda or given you a turn's worth of Keyholing.

How do you get rid of face up cards after apoc ?

@Frogblast: If you are playing against HB, you can trash facedown cards on Fairchild ICE subroutines.

@Frogblast: Your facedown cards are stuck facedown. It's not worth the slots you'd need to change that; it's unfortunate when you lose a conspiracy breaker but basically never a big deal.

Your plan is to hold a keyhole and ideally an eater in hand ready to capitalise on apocalypse. Part of the benefit of running so few installables is that it's almost always more damaging for the Corp than for you even if your paperclip ends up facedown ad collateral .

(There was an offscreen game against HB where I used their fairchild 3 to trash eater and a parasite before the apocalypse, which is a sick play that I highly recommend just for the tilt factor)

Played this yesterday​ at DC regionals and only lost one game (went 5-1). Loss was to a Moons deck (never saw a siphon or Apoc). Ended up first in Swiss and third in the cut. Thanks for the deck!
