This is an updated version of my first Pandora's archiveE deck.
This AMT was my first tournament, and I was honestly not expecting to win any games, but this deck did much better than expected. One of the losses was from decking after a lucky snipe of my would-be game-winning Regenesis and the other was mostly due to econ problems.
This is a little different from most PE decks, because it wants to dump basically all its agendas into archives at first sight. The main point of the deck is the combo:
When you're done feeling giddy after pulling that off, either do it again, or score three points some other way to win the game.
The entire rest of the deck is just trying to protect centrals. Archives is protected by making sure that if the runner runs it, they flatline from forced agenda steals, and R&D is protected by the threat of Fuji or Snare. Having a few copies of Anemone and Data Loop on Archives and R&D back up those threats. Daniela usually goes on R&D for the same reason.
Protecting HQ is very difficult, and is probably the weakest point of the deck. The best solution I've found so far is Mirāju to shuffle away agendas, but then clever runners will break the subroutine over and over to force you to keep paying the rez cost. So it's best to have Mirāju behind some kind of more taxing ice.

Shoutout to Squeeeeeege and PiCat for putting up with this crap and to Diogene for telling me about Data Loop. You are all complicit.

Heya, just saw your game with Ysengrin on his stream the other day. I am confused about the utility of Divert Power and why he didn’t trash your Snares (thus making it easy for you to rez that Loop). Are people not trashing Snares for some reason these days? Or is the DP there to repeatedly land the Anemone damage? |

Indeed, Divert Power is in here mostly to reset Anemone (or occasionally Spin Doctor)—the credits you save is just kind of a nice bonus on the side. This is vital because otherwise the runner can run Archives, disarm all the Anemones and jack out, and then at some later point steal all the agendas there without dying. |
good job on your first tournament!
