MaxXimum Efficiency 2.0

Faceboy89 70

Building a MaxX deck that uses the heap as a resource and just goes hard and fast. I've played this deck a few times and the three levy's definitely came in handy. At first I thought that 3 was excessive, but between the MaxX ability, street peddler, I've had worse, and fueling faust, it is really nice to have them. Usually I Levy at least once and two or three levy's has also happened before. Still a work in progress and it will definitely change as new cards come out. Basically, this was my way of turning MaxX into a simple yet effect runner that just gets money, draws cards, and gets into servers.

Hi! I like your idea behind the deck but i have a few questions: 1) How can you beat turing? just clicking o parasating it? 2) You play only 9 economy cards, in your games is this enough? 3) How can you protect yourself from kill deck (that are very popular these days)?

Nice idea but

1) You need way more economy

2) Why Armitage over Liberated?

3) You need D4v1d as a way to deal with Turing on a remote and at least 1 Yog

@phoenix @CispiolloThank you for the input. You guys are correct, I forgot about turing. I may include an emergency D4v1d and just parasite/ datasucker it away if necessary. So good call. I just haven't had that problem yet, but I'm sure I will. Mostly been playing against jinteki and nbn fa.

As far as economy, The real breaker in the deck is faust, which just needs three credits to play and then you utilize extra cards from MaxX to use it, so the economy can be a bit light and get away with it. You have imp for trashing things, datasucker to reduce costs, and street peddler to get things out for cheap. The drip from daily casts and the quick bursts from clicking an armitage and playing a sure gamble are plenty to play the cards I need. This is also why I have decided to leave out liberated as it requires a build up to play it, when really I just want to be running every turn and just grabbing cash when I need it. As for protection from kill decks, most people in my meta don't really play any meat damage, but there is a lot of jinteki. I've found that 'I've had worse' works well enough to deal with these sorts of decks and can also give me an extra boost if I need to get in for a big medium dig with faust. If kill decks become popular at the GNK's I play at, I might stick in a plascrete or two. Mostly, I don't want to be defensive at all and just go head first into the MaxXimum punk rock attitude. Thanks for the helpful comments! It's always nice to get an outside opinion to help me think through my builds.
