"I've got a rock!"

I finally managed to flatline the Runner with Meteor Mining! And it felt incredible.

Here's the massive combo I pulled off to do so: First, you need to score two Project Atlas before anything (or another 2 pt agenda) to have the agendas necessary to forfeit out the combo. Then, you need to have Oberth unrezzed in a remote server. Then, you'll need to have a hand of these cards: Shipment from MirrorMorph, two Posted Bounties, 1 Meteor Mining, and Sacrifice. With Illegal Arms Factory ticking away, finding the combo cards gets a little easier. Same goes for abusing Jackson's draw to filter your hand to find the Atlases, and to stockpile the combo cards.

Once everything is in place:

1 click: Shipment out the three agendas (doesn't truly matter which on goes on Oberth). Paid ability window to rez Oberth, forfeiting Atlas to put three counters on a Posted Bounty. Score Bounty; forfeit it to give runner tag, take bad pub, and put two counters on Mining.

2 click: Play Sacrifice to forfeit Atlas to score second Bounty. Forfeit bounty to give runner 2nd tag, take bad pub, and put another two counters on Mining.

3 click: Advance Mining one last time to 5 and score it for kill.

With all that needing to go your way, it's insane to think it ever worked, but it did haha.

The rest of the deck is filled out with cards to help you get the board state to combo out. Packing Hostile Takeovers to get quick cash and the Bad Pub necessary to use Sacrifice, which can help you turn Hostiles into Atlases. 2x Biotic Labor for Atlas scores or an extra click in the combo if needed. CVS to stop Clot. Audacity for Atlas, but should only be used early when HQ is filled with expendable cards.

All of the flex spots belong to the ICE suite. Clearly, it's not an oppressive list and should be tweaked for optimization. Thus far, only Mausolus and Hortum have performed the way I've wanted. Truth be told, if the Runner wants in, they'll get in against this deck. You just need to rush out the Atlas scores and then rush to get combo in hand. Losing agendas along the way is highly expected. Just pray they don't get that 2nd Posted Bounty.
