WizBiz Oracle

First off, Credit where credit is due, this deck was inspired by djHedgehog over on the stimhack forums :http://forum.stimhack.com/t/ct-string-theory-doubles-oracle-may-it-works/1784/14 Please check out his awesome deck concept. This deck came about as an anarch riff on that concept, and while it's probably not as tournament ready, it's a blast to play, and it handed me a 16-game winning streak when I first sleeved it up! The Core of the deck is a ton of events and oracle may; with 38 events in the deck, once you get her out, she's practically guarunteed to land her ability.

I've been tweaking this here and there for some time, and a buddy of mine asked me to post it, so here's the current card breakdown:

The Breakers:

-Corroder: too good to not include. I tested morningstar + scrubbed, and while it annihilated a couple decks, the memory is a problem (remember, we want to run as many events as possible) and without datasucker you can get caught behind an unbreakable hadrians or curtain wall.

-Torch: I've gone back and forth on this, but unlimately, it's too much of a beast for just 1 MU. Combos perfectly with retrival run, so the huge cost is rarely an issue. If you want to switch it out for influence, I suggest going all the way and taking (shudder) force of nature. This swap actually plays pretty well, but doesn't have the sheer ICEcracking strength of torch.

-Femme: 1 influnce and 1 mu for a real do-it-all breaker. this deck isn't the best at re-targeting her, but you can get her out cheap and often early, allowing some great medium or nerve agent shennanegins.

Core Cards:

-Oracle May + Hostage: better than 2 oracles, as the hostage is less dead than a second oracle would be if you draw it second. (which is to say, it powers up may and power nap, but is otherwise just as useless). If you've never played a functioning oracle may deck, the econ and draw is amazing for just one card.

-Deja Vu and Retreival run: Gotta love the in-faction recursion for anarch- makes you extremely flexible, and nullifies the problem of inject and oracle trashing your programs out-of-deck. Remember to hang onto your last deja vu if your LARLA gets trashed for any reason.

-Nerve agent and medium: while I am loathe to put any extra non-events into this deck, multi-access attack is a must in most/all decks, and these great in-faction choices allow us to avoid wasting precious influence. the extra program also allows you to overwrite femme if you absolutely need to re-target. Don't be afraid to switch between these two; if the corp-over ICEs one, just switch to the other!

-Duggars: Early iterations blew most of their influence on a precious few copies of test run for fear of the "bottom of the stack corroder." Duggars brings it all together by allowing you to essentially tutor any card in a few turns; simply draw your entire deck! I rarely use this card, but it can be a true lifesaver when you need to dig for answers.

-Inject: Perfect for this deck: I actually prefer my programs to be be trashed so I can immediately retrieval run them instead of needing to overdraw and give the corp a chance to ice archives.

-Power Nap: SO MUCH MONEY. The third copy would be my next splash if I had 2 more points; there are a ton of doubles in this deck, and I regularly get 7-9 credits (from 0!) from each nap. the swing is huge; I love to alley-oop with this and a stimhack to make a 18 credit run from 0 credits and still have a click left!

-Demo Run: the coup-de-grace in 90% of games. combined with virus multi-access, this allows you to wipe their hand or shred their stack. Actually combos well with whizzard, imo: use the ID to clear out assests and upgrades, then swoop in with the demo to catch even more ICE and operations. Also of note: this is your soul weapon against tag and bag: try to keep an eye on HQ; if you see a scortch, it's time to swoop in with a nerve agent demo run and clear em out!

Other cards worth explaining:

Whizzard: The strongest ID for this deck, I feel, he is worth so much money against so many corps; I almost always net at least 9 credits from his ability, often far more. He basically allows you to just be super-aggro when you would otherwise have no right to be. Edward Kim is also a strong possibility once O&C comes out.

Frame Job/Blackmail: I slipped this combo in to help power up power nap, as well as giving me a great alternate route of attack if finding breakers proves problematic. Side bonuses: eats up shi.kyu and domestic sleepers and spits out free money, and punishes BP weyland hard.

Singularity: I first included this on a whim to juice up power nap, but I've ended up using it to great effect quite a few times. An excellent counter to Mushin no Shin, as well as HB super-servers. Use it to override corp bluffing if you have the cash and clicks to spend, otherwise, toss it for cash when you powernap. combos well with queens gambit; if the mushin when you're at zero credits, just toss 3 extra tokens their way then trash it with the money you made.
