Big Girls Windfall Their Monoliths at the Angel Arena

Bring on the bad cards! I'm talking to you, Angel Arena! They said it couldn't be done, but I've found a way to use this awful, awful card.

This deck operates on the same premise as my first Big Girls Windfall Their Monoliths deck, but with a twist. If you are not sure how that combo works, I'll go over it briefly.

You use overdraw with Diesel and Quality Time and extra clicks to burn through your deck by turn 5 - 6. Approximately 3 turns before your deck is gone (usually on turn 3), you play a Trope. Then in one turn you Trope back your 3 Monoliths and use Windfall 3 times to gain 54 credits.

In this iteration of the deck, you can do this twice... within 2 turns! The basic idea is that after your first combo, before you Levy, you use another Trope with 6 counters to return all of those Windfalls and Monoliths. Then, it's time for Angel Arena to shine!

It will take you 3 clicks to set up your deck with Angel Arena and you will need exactly 5 counters on this card. 5 credits to install the Arena are easy to come by as you Freelance your deck away though. With 5 counters on the Arena and 3 Windfalls and 3 Monoliths in your deck, it's easy to get yourself set up to have a Windfall combo turn again. Just reveal a card, if it's a Windfall, spend a click to draw it, if it's a Monolith, send it to the bottom. Keep going until you have drawn all 3 Windfalls and the only thing left in your stack is 3 Monoliths. Sounds familiar? You get to Windfall your Monoliths next turn!

The best part about this is that you don't have to commit to trying to pull out the combo twice in a row. You can always just Levy, start pulling out breakers with your Shaper tools, and run. But, if you think you have the time, you can spend a few more turns to pull off the combo twice. In solo testing the earliest I could pull this off was turn 8. I installed my first Trope on turn 1 and my second Trope on turn 3. Then on turn 6 I used my second Trope to do the Windfall combo. On turn 7 I used my first trope (at 6 counters now) to put all the pieces back and in the same turn I used Angel Arena to pull out the Windfalls. Finally on turn 8 I used my Windfalls on my Monoliths again. Obviously you will not start every game with Trope or a way to get Trope. It's much more realistic to expect your 2nd Windfall combo to land around turn 10, but still, that's a lot faster than going through your deck again.

Ever since I started working on the Big Girls Windfall Their Monoliths deck I've been trying to figure out how to pull off the combo twice in a row. The problem is getting your Windfalls back either takes a lot of clicks (Same Old Thing) or a lot of influence (Déjà Vu). The answer was there the whole time though, thanks Angel Arena!
