Here's the game plan for Starlight Doubles MaxX:
Yeah...once you're set up with your giant stacks of cash, what do you do? You make the corp's life miserable.
Nothing goes better with giant, oppressive stacks of cash than Vamp. When you're ready, fire off a Vamp and drain the corp of all its money; ideally, you have an Amped Up ready, so you can Keyhole 4 times (with the corp unable to rez anything) and end in a 5-card-access Medium run.
After all, the corp can't protect Crisium Grid on R&D if he's broke, right?
Starlight Crusade Funding: In conjunction with Adjusted Chronotype, you can supercharge your doubles after a little bit of setup.
Amped Up: Brain damage is nothing to be afraid of. Maximize your power turn by using this, ideally after the Vamp drops.
Feint: This deck's hard counter is Crisium Grid on HQ. Use Feint (in conjunction with Knight if the server is 3 ice deep) to wipe out Crisium and hit the Vamp.
Chop Bot 3000: Once you've popped off, your Chronotype is at risk of being blown up if you don't remove the Vamp tag. Chop Bot lets you clear the tag and wipe Starlight in one go, so you can't be locked in to only 3 clicks per turn.
Symmetrical Visage: Even MaxX needs to draw to set up, so you might as well gain a credit for the likely single draw per turn you'll make early on. Great if you find it early, still decent if it comes later, and not really worth crying over if you mill it.
Kati Jones is probably very useful if the game goes late, but you want to win quick. Including her would be more of a backup plan than anything.
Levy AR Lab Access is really not an option here. This deck rolls over and dies if it can't get the Vamp off, so the last 3 influence needs to be spent on Feint to counter Crisium Grid. And you're ideally going to win before you deck yourself, anyway.
Hades Shard would be a nice include (if there was influence for it), but you don't want to be trashing agendas with Keyhole. You want to trash operations and ice to increase R&D's agenda density, and win with Medium.

I see, so if Crisium's rezzed it obviously works that way. I was just wondering what to do if Crisium isn't rezzed. I guess you'll have to threat vamp first, then run again with feint, then vamp again. |

Trope might be a nice stand-in for Levy AR Lab Access when it comes out. Not sure it's worth the though. |

How do you wipe out Crisium on HQ when you cannot access any cards using Feint?
