Inscribe your hopes and dreams upon the tortoise's shell, and watch it burn in the oracle's pyre. Fate makes mockery of wishes and ambitions -- of fools and kings alike.
Yet another attempt to take advantage of the recent UFAQ ruling that Aumakua and Eater actually do synergize. To summarize: Aumakua only cares that you entered the Access phase, and Eater uniquely does so even without accessing cards. This also means that Aumakua can dive into an empty Archives to load up on virus counters -- a change in its interpretation that's driven up the value of an already powerful card.
Of course, you'll need more Eater synergy than that. Successful-run triggers are a powerful thing to abuse. Alongside Aumakua, here's what you get even if you don't access cards:
A singleton copy of Rip Deal with Same Old Thing backing ought to be sufficient to keep the cards flowing, especially with a stacked-up Turning Wheel. Thanks to Doppelgänger, loading up both Aumakua and TTW should go a lot faster than it would've gone with other decks too -- a point of despair if your opponent is, say, Gagarin Asset Spam.
Eventually, they will be forced to Purge the turtle. But can they really afford to lose three clicks against Leela? Would that really be wise?

Doesn't that same UFAQ ruling mean that Eater + Maw works the same way? That's another p compelling angle this deck could take even though it would force you to reconsider your economic engine
