By Noble Means

zmb 290

This is a deck created around an idea I had to use The Noble Path to avoid the damage from By Any Means.

The idea is to set up fast being Maxx: Breakers in heap and get The Turning Wheel on the table ASAP and Same Old Thing for Levy.

Run RND+HQ as much as possible to gather up TTW tokens (preferably with an Aumakua installed). If you can get the corp to rez an ETR ice on the outside, for example a Kakugo, dont hesitate using 2-3 full turns just running that and ETR to load up +15 counters on TTW. Less is ok -you can Levy and start over if your BAM run fails to trash agendas.

DDOS is for easier access to load up tokens. Rebirth is usually for Omar, but Quetzal and others are possibilities too depending on corp ID and Ice.

When you feel you have enough tokens on TTW and both BAM and TNP in hand, use BAM and run RND (or HQ) using TNP unloading all your TTW counters. If you had luck, harvest agendas from archives (they are faceup just like when you used Keyhole). Rinse-repeat as necessary!

Any suggestions or improvements are welcome :)

Just an idea - you could try Deep Data Mining. You'd probably want a console or some additional memory but with heap breakers if you really wanted to go all in you could install your 2nd copy of a heap breaker on the last ice you break and trash all your other programs. It wouldn't be "good" but it might be fun.

@Manadog i think 4 Inf + MU will be a tall order! I played against a By Any Means deck that had a huge combo-wombo turn with Hyperdrivers and Equivocation and Ankusa / Egret to remove ice. Especially liked the Equivocation interaction.

Maybe a The Maker's Eye with The Turning Wheel could give a better trash harvest
