Maven works!

Game plan : Setup and Conduit R&D.

Mulligan plan : LilyPAD or Bahia Bands or Prognostic Q-Loop or Diesel in your starting hand.

Contest with Slap Vandal, eventually helped by Poison Vial. Reclaim will act as extra copies of Poison Vial.

With Bahia Bands, Prognostic Q-Loop and Arissana Rocha Nahu: Street Artist, you can do a lot with one run. Hopefully, this will allow you to setup fast.

You only need one Urban Art Vernissage, but you need it early, as it is a great piece of economy. As usual, it synergize with LilyPAD and Environmental Testing.

With Leech, Maven can break anything. At full setup, it will have a strength of 5. Using Poison Vial, you'll be able to break any ice for 2. I'm not saying it is a great breaker, but it works well enough for our needs.

This deck is my last attempt to make Maven work. That AI breaker is really old and it shows. The numbers on the card show that it comes from a long past meta. Now that LOAD of ices have 2 or 3 subroutines, breaking an ice for 4 or 6 is not really good. The saving grace is that it allow us to save one MU and that is synergize really well with Kyuban, making this breaker a really fun one to use with Arissana Rocha Nahu: Street Artist.

It was fun to test it out. Do you have any ideas on how to make Maven work better?

Cheers!

How about flux capacitor to recharge the poison vials instead of reclaim? Depends how tight MU is.

@London that is a good idea. You could replace the Kyuban by Flux Capacitor. This will give us 2 free slots, which could be Sure Gamble for example.
