Tilting at Windmills v1.0

“There is no book so bad...that it does not have something good in it.” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

I've been trying to make a deck using Wyrm since the game came out. This is my most recent attempt using the new order and chaos buffs to virus anarch.

This deck relies on the tried and true combination of Wyldside to pull up needed cards, Personal Workshop to get them out of your hand and prep them, and Stimhack to play them quickly during runs. The basic idea is to do what cutlery does, only more often. Clone Chip makes sure you have access to parasites after you burn through your first three uses.

Be very mindful of Weyland as you have literally no defense from tag and bag apart from limiting runs and bankrolling with Kati Jones.

As always, the golden question with this deck is: "Does the inclusion of Wyrm make this deck better?" . If the answer is yes, then we have succeeded, dear reader. If the answer is no, then I look forward to your scathing criticism in the comments section below.

“Destiny guides our fortunes more favorably than we could have expected. Look there, Sancho Panza, my friend, and see those thirty or so wild giants, with whom I intend to do battle and kill each and all of them, so with their stolen booty we can begin to enrich ourselves. This is noble, righteous warfare, for it is wonderfully useful to God to have such an evil race wiped from the face of the earth."

"What giants?" Asked Sancho Panza.

"The ones you can see over there," answered his master, "with the huge arms, some of which are very nearly two leagues long."

"Now look, your grace," said Sancho, "what you see over there aren't giants, but windmills, and what seems to be arms are just their sails, that go around in the wind and turn the millstone."

"Obviously," replied Don Quijote, "you don't know much about adventures.” ― Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Don Quixote

Dude come onnn Virus Breeding Ground makes this deck a lot more consistent for virus counters, and you can get rid of your two breakers bringing in two of them, if you want to go 100% Wyrm and i know you do mate.

Also! trade out Day Job for a better way of making money, because this card is terrible with Wyldside and i feel like having a resource based economy would be better with Wyldside maybe just trading out those 3 for Liberated Account or Armitage Codebusting?

Lotus Field stops this deck completely.

... unless he has 3 and Corroder installed?

Oh my god Lotus Field is a code gate.

so the new deck is going to have to run 1x corroder (wraparound owns wyrm), 1x femme (Swordsman, Lotus Field, Tollbooth), and 1x Darwin (anythign that costs too much normally) . So...in essence...a complete rebuild.

Oh well...I'll post one on Sat after I get more testing in. Thanks for the comments all.
