Shitty Val

Publishing this to get the thoughts out of my head more than anything.

So, what's with the deck name? You've got about 20 cards in common with sensible Val lists, you attack along similar-ish vectors to Val, but you're much, much worse at it.

Neutralize All Threats means, in my opinion, that you need to lean into the trashing ability a bit. Previously I used Scrubbers for this, but Mining Accident is an interesting alternative. It's rarely a dead draw in the way that Scrubber is, and helps sustain your central pressure into the mid-game. It also lets you apply economic pressure to Mti, because if you sit back and let them make money you generally lose. It's much worse here than in Val, though, because two Bad Publicity is much, much better than one. But if you can land one then that plus Multithreader gives you pretty decent central pressure, but because you can't Rebirth into Omar, it's shittier than Val.

Engolo is your best breaker. Laamb is a weird one, and you can cut a one inf card to make it Paperclip for some Emergent Creativity synergy and a bit of efficiency, at the cost of not having a good answer to Komainu or Tour Guide. Golden is in because it's ok against Surveyor and Anansi, but honestly if that's the remote then your solution is to win on centrals.

Logic Bomb is pretty good.
