"Tell me, Apex, what do you do for fun? What activity gives you a different sense of enjoyment from the others? What do you find fulfilling? What gives you that... special satisfaction?"
..."I go to funerals."
This deck is my best attempt at making Windfall work. It doesn't, really, but I think that this is the optimal use of that card given the current card pool.
See, Windfall is not a card you can throw into every deck. It has to be the first card you put down, and then you build from there, with the following restrictions:
This inevitably leads to a situation where your entire deck is filled with absurdly expensive cards, and no reliable economy. So in many games you will find yourself drawing card after card that you can in no way afford to play.
Which is why we put it in Apex. Apex likes having dead draws. Every turn, he can take an unplayable card and throw it down as fodder for Endless Hunger, Heartbeat, and Chop Bot 3000. And because Endless Hunger is free to install and use, he's okay if the first couple Windfalls come up empty.
Surprisingly, a lot of the most expensive cards mesh pretty well with Apex's general strategy.
Even so, this deck is not very good. It's massively inconsistent: every Windfall still has about a 25% chance of giving you nothing, while the average return is still only on par with Sure Gamble.

@ostfralla: he's never going to install Rachel either, so it's no issue. Read Apex's ability again. |

Apologies, just noticed that Windfall forces a shuffle before the card ditch, my bad! |
