Viral DDoS 1.3

Cottonjaw 201

See Viral DDoS 1.2 (under "Derived from" below) for instructions on playstyle and card choices. In this rendition, Utopia Shard, Levy and 1 Faust are dropped in favor of 2x Clone Chip. This thins the deck from 46 to 45 cards and adds a lot more speed in recovering your rig after Apocalypse. This comes at the cost of your third Faust, so be judicious with your Clone Chips and remember to stash them in your hand before you Apocalypse, or they won't be there when you need them.

Considering dropping to 2x DDoS to bring Levy AR Lab Access back... pros and cons of that will likely be discussed in a future version.

I have been playing this, and find it pretty enjoyable! However, I'm concerned with the Foodcoats matchup with Architect starting to make a comeback. It feels so awkward to break with Faust and it is able to rebuild after The End of Days Have Come, not allowing good access unless you have duplicant Faust. Do you just have to hope it's DDoS'd before the Apocalypse? Also, what do you generally mulligan for in an opening hand?

Yeaaaah architect is a grade A pain. Noteworthy that on turns when you plan to apocalypse, let it fire... More trash for archives, thins their deck, etc. I mulligan for endless hunger. Getting it, some draw and your ID ability rolling early means more early pressure, which prevents them from getting too far ahead before you can blow the board up.
