this is really one of the best things to do in Chimera, its an easy two step process to win.

Step 1: Discard a Government Takeover

Step 2: Score a Regenesis

Step 3: Massive profit

combo assembled

This combo is incredibly hard to disrupt, Chimera might have a general lack of ice, but it is actually more advantageous to leave archives un-iced so that your opponent never sees it coming.


Tech inclusions of the deck:

-Plan B shell game: Since we have an inevitable 7 point combo, we can delay the runner with well known busted card Mushin No Shin to force the runner to guess right or loose their board to a Neurostasis. Thomas Haas is included here in case we dont get that combo, its clearly better than NGO because it gets value off advancements past 2.

-Corporate Town abuse: thanks to our aggresive shell game pressure, the runner wont ever have 5 credits to trash a corporate town, so we jammed our deck full of 1/2s since the rest of our agendas past regen-takeover dont matter, then we can use these 1/2s to rez our towns. The combo between Hostile Takeover and Clone Retirement is also incredible, for a free 7 credits, just remember to ask the runner to kindly not steal your clone retirement.

-Who needs barriers: it is well known that etr is a crutch, so we dont play any of them. loot box and caduceus are allowed because they actually read "the runner looses 2 creds", not actually end the run. And marker is just too powerful as a 0 cost 3 strength etr, so we cant go without it.


PS: If anyone else manages the incredible luck to get this combo in chimera send a picture or it didnt happen

Omg, my opponent tried this on me Round 1! I Brahmaned into S1, saw the regenesis and ran the bin :-P

The odds of both these things happening at all, let alone in the same tournament must be astronomical! Truly the stars aligned for the launch of this great format :-D

This looks really fun. By the way, I think you actually mean to use Ampère: Cybernetics For Anyone.

@KV-Boom yea, the deck was ampere, but nrdb won't let you publish illegal decks, which this would be if it was ampere (because chimera ignores the rule about 2 agendas from each faction)
