Pandora's archivE v4.5

Prior version with an explanation here.

Sokka mentioned my last version of Pandora's archivE on a stream and has been working on a sort of similar inspired deck recently. His is no doubt better, but in case anyone else wants to try exploring this idea, I thought I'd publish where I'm at right now.

The differences from v4.3 are:

  • Kakurenbo is cut because the Hybrid Release / Moon Pool value it creates—though interesting—is really just not worth it.
  • Celebrity Gift sucks to play because HQ info is extremely valuable with the combos we're trying to pull off. Nonetheless we still need some money so we keep one of them.
  • Adding Mavirus is a no-brainer. Use it to clear Clot on the combo turn and before then install it on Archives to deal an extra net damage.
  • Apparently I forgot that I had 3 influence free so we add Angelique Garza Correa to make Archives worth 2 more damage.
  • Phoneutria was actually quite okay but the click tax is nowhere near as good as having the opportunity to murder Steve with Sadaka.

The deck still really struggles with slots. The agendas eat a million of them, and then not being able to rely on economy assets means we spend more slots inefficiently on econ events. I would love to have more copies of Daniela and Mavirus, but it's just really hard to find anything to cut.

Nonetheless, I think it's still an interesting deck and it often manages to catch even good players off guard.
