Ed Kim is awesome against the seemingly countless new decks built around operations - Scorched Earth, Biotic Labor, Trick of Light, etc. As others have noted, Magnum Opus is great in Anarch. This deck maximizes your ability to pound HQ over and over to tear out all their stuff with Ed and Grimoire-VBG-Imps to undermine fast-advance and Scorched decks.

Many Ed decks usually rely on Account Siphon instead of (or even in addition to) MO; the above build is partly influenced by an anticipated shift in the metagame to combat Siphon-based Anarch decks. I prefer spending the influence on SMCs to guarantee a quick MO/permit a more diverse and versatile icebreaker package instead of Eater/dinnerware.

What do you normally sac to Chop Bot 3000? Imps and empty D4v1d? or do you use it less for general card-draw and more for dodging tags?

@MEGAREKTYeah. I think of it as a down-market Aesop's Pawnshop - turning cards you'd normally install over into extra material. (And occasionally, it's true, helping slowly clean up a Midseason Replacements.)
