Finally!!!!

On Run Last Click this week they finally cracked the problem of how Apex can deal with Enigma, by using Tracker. But their analysis was incomplete. The other big problem that Apex faces is Orion. So yes Tracker will let you deal with that pesky "Trash 1 program" but they could then use "Resolve a subroutine on another piece of rezzed ice" to fire 'End the Run' from elsewhere; the ultimate insult to Apex. Step forward the other card beginning with street, Street Magic. The fact it's a virtual resource shows that this is a partnership that was meant to be. So now you can swap those subs around, use Tracker to prevent that fake ETR from firing, use Endless Hunger on the real ETR, and walk on through. Yes, they're going to trash EH, but that's what Clone Chips were made for. And if you're at the end of an Apocalypse run you don't need it anyway.

Now we've dealt with the two biggest problems, let's quickly run through some of the minor quibbles with Apex. Traces? Laugh at them with your six link. Damage? Heartbeat. Tags? Have you heard of a little combo called Qianju PTancakes? Psi games? Government Investigations makes them 17%* easier to win, and I like those odds.

The last few slots are for Apex's true strengths. Wasteland ensures you're never poor, Hunting Grounds avoids those pesky encounter effects, and Reaver has no problem providing you with draw when you have 8 MU.

Finally, Apex's time has come.
