After a poor showing in a Tournament in Feb, where literally every opponent was running 2-3x Crisum Grids, I went back to the drawing boards. Influenced by mediohxcore's Reg-Ass MaxX (in spirit only, because the lists are very different), I added some normal breakers, some cutlery, and an Imp. This list is much more resilient to Crisium Grid, Wraparound, Swordsman, and other Eater/Keyhole hate. I also went back to Dirty Laundry over Liberated Accounts. Finally, I traded out Wanton for Vamp.

Turns out, punk rawk in (slight) moderation is pretty powerful. The Dirty Laundry lets your econ hit critical mass early more reliably and the breakers give you either a silver bullet if your oppont is suspecting full-on Eater/Keyhole (as they often are after seeing either card) or lets you threaten remotes via Retrieval Run/Deja Vu once they're in your heap. Smart corps will take note and have to slow down. Dumb corps will lose and agenda they thought safe.

This new build is undefeated in League play and itching for a tournament. It's probably what I'll bring to regionals.

I feel like this is a strong call of you're going to see more stuff like Weyland while the original is better against non-butchershop NBN or RP. I'm so undecided about what to take to Regionals, something like this, the original punk rock, or my drip econ deck (which is undefeated in league and casual play, but I'm worried it'll go long in tourney games AND be a bad matchup for RP and Weyland).

Urgh, decisions!

I feel like MaxX, while my favorite runner in the game just is not the strongest Anarch to take to a regionals.

The constant gear check and the reliance on recursion hurts right now.

I <3 MaxX, but I don't think the time is right for her. I have no idea what runner is the "right" choice for regionals.

I'm so torn. I love MaxX, and when she works she REALLY works, but I'm leaning towards a super-reliable drip econ Andy deck for Regionals. They're two diametrically opposed decks and I can't decide between them!
