Sometimes I publish a pile of trash that I happened to do well with, only to see other people pick it up and not do so well. Why? Mostly because I play piles of trash all the time so while I'm inevitably going to do better than average sometimes, there is no reason for lightning to strike twice with the same bad deck. When this happens I do feel a twinge of guilt for leading people down the wrong path.
This guilt, however, is not enough to prevent me from publishing this deck, which is, objectively, the biggest pile of trash I've ever made.
Besides the novelty, there are many reasons to build and play a 99 card MaxX deck:
If you are building a 99 card MaxX deck, here are some important things to keep in mind:
You probably shouldn't cut District 99 because that card reminds you how many cards you can put in your deck.

Thank you for your time and indulgence.

Thanks! Hippo RFG doesn't count as a trash though you usually are building up District 99 tokens fast enough. Theoretically Street Peddler can sometimes even give you a 99 counter on your opponent's turn which is a neat tiny trick. Wu might be a good second choice for a giant deck because of the tutoring, though I cannot stress enough how important MaxX's ability is to bring you from atrocious consistency to merely bad consistency. I'd be happy to be proven wrong and I would love to see a big Wu deck. Wu does shuffle though so maybe it's not a great idea except online. |

I once made an 88-card IG deck full of Ronins just so I could call it the Crazy 88 but I only played it online so you win :) |

I think of all the decks I've won deck of the week with, this is the most competitive and well tuned. |

I've been playing several decks with high card counts few a few months now. This was mostly because of how prevalent grindy Jinteki and Weyland decks have been in the new standard. I have a MaxX deck that is similar to this one and (of course) it share most of the same good Anarch cards. The main differences is that I use a few more virus-related cards like acacia, gravedigger, and contaminate. Aciacia gives you great returns if you can play it at the right time and that it triggers District 99 from mill and when your opponent purges, but it's not the sort of card you might put in a smaller deck. Gravedigger is a very cool card that works well against a bunch of decks that turtle up and refuse to die. It is a very fun card to use with contaminate and when you pair both with District 99 you can force your opponent to act or die. I play two versions of MaxX with high card counts. One is very similar to Sanjay's but it uses top hat and Insight rather than Maker's Eye. |

I was using a 90 card deck but had to increase it to 99 for the SC so as to not be 1 upped. I didn't do 100 though, I'm not petty. :salute: |

wait what
The main problem with that approach these days is that, with MOpus rotated, you probably need to make some type of Au Revoir economic engine work, and it might not fit into the max number of SMCs and Leprechauns per deck and still leave room for your rig... |

I think you might really be onto something with increased decksize being an answer to the Levy vs Paperclip problem. You don't have to reset the deck if you just start with 2 decks! |
LOL this deck made me smile :D I have build my own Patchwork 99 MaxX, using 99 and Labor Rights a Clone Chip and Trope for recursion instead of Levy AR Lab Access. The tutoring of 99 is a nice catch in a deck where you would trash a ton of cards. Does Hippo RFG count as a trash? This deck made me want to do a Kabonesa Wu: Netspace Thrillseeker 99 cards deck for fun :)
