Dyper - Milling Made Easy

omnijeff 524

This deck is similar to many Dyper builds but specializes in milling the opponent to win the game as the primary victory condition. The setup is to try to achieve the following:

1) Install False Echo(s) and Clone Chip so that you have at least the number of (R&D ICE - 1) installed.

2) Install DDoS, All-nighters, Hyperdrivers (on a Leprechaun), Keyhole, and Equivocation.

At this point, count the number of cards in R&D. If the number of cards in R&D is equal to or less than the number of clicks you have - 1, congratulations, you're in for a mill win. Otherwise, you'll have to think about how to best use Equivocation.

Now you're ready to start your big turn:

2) Pop your Hyperdrivers and All-nighters.

2a) Play Rumor Mill if there is a suspected Jackson on the board or upgrade on R&D.

3) Pop your DDoS and start making Keyhole runs while using False Echo to strip off all but one of the ICE from R&D.

4) If you want the mill win, always force the Corp to draw with equivocation and choose any card for keyhole. They will lose 2 cards from R&D per click. If you cannot guarantee the mill win, you may consider allowing agendas to remain and use keyhole to trash them and score out by points.

After your combo turn, if you did not win, you can attempt to mill the corp using Eater, but your game gets much harder.

You might ask "This sounds janky, does this work?" To this I give the following: Suppose you take 11 turns to setup. On your 12th turn, the corp has 49 - 5 (starting hand) - 12 (mandatory) = 32 cards left in their deck -- and that assumes they've never clicked to draw. You have 4 + 9 (Hyperdriver) + 3 (All-Nighter) = 16 clicks. Thus, if you've pre-played the Rumor Mill, you can mill their entire deck.

There's a lot of modifications to this you can make -- play it in Kate "Mac" McCaffrey: Digital Tinker, play Amped Up, or go less mill heavy with cards like The Turning Wheel, but this version goes all-in on mill.

Yeah I thought about this concept, too. Equivocation works with Keyhole nicely. Both milling and accessing.
