Let it fire! (Mill Ari)

Santa 1711

more subs meme

Welcome to Mill Ari v32!

This has been by pet meme deck for the past couple of months!

After a solid set of competitive try-hard events this season, I decided it was time to pull out this meme deck and cooldown with some casual fun.

The joy of just letting subroutines fire to mill out the corp has kept me coming back to this, iterating on it version after version.

Threat 4 Starlit Knight gets to be a lot of fun! :) maybe mill Ari starlit meta

Would highly recommend mill Ari as a fun meme!

Experimentation

Persephone mill had been something I was experimenting with before worlds for a short time, and was actually curious about making competitively viable.

Notes:

  • Tried this across Quetzal, Tāo, Esâ, and Ari.
    • Pretty certain Ari is the right home for this. Otherwise, I found myself trying to fit in Paule's Café
  • Tried 2x Persephone before
    • I found that typically took up too much MU, requiring cards like DZMZ Optimizer. Within my findings, you typically want to be able to explosively capitalize off of certain ice rez'es where 1 Persephone ended up being enough.
  • No UAV??
    • In the spirit of Bost, cut all the good cards #RashidaIsBad. Jk. In actuality, I found along with the 2x Persephone issue trying to slot in a normal Ari build was a little too cumbersome and playing more real money for the slots seemed better. Note: you can use Ari for non-trojans [SMC, Cordyceps, etc].
  • Cordyceps?
    • Is it good? Idk. Is it memy fun? Definitely! :)
    • Its mostly meant for aligning your combo ice in the perfect position no matter where it currently is, but also can be used for remote busting in a pinch.
  • Compile?
    • Compile has been one of the most fun cards to mess around with, being able to pull what I want when needed. I've actually been rather impressed by the card, where I think it's even possibly underplayed.
  • Nanuq?
    • Nanuq Heap
      Jai discard comment
    • Remote busting with Compile and Nanuq has been really fun! :)

Suggestions

  • Wheels is a very good add!
  • Play a decoder [#LosingToAMagnet in the Victoria CO]
  • Experiment and have fun, as this list is far from final

Finally

This is a really fun archetype to mess around with.

For anyone else who has experimented with this style of list I'd love to see your creations if you'd want to share! 

Additionally, if anyone does iterate on this and come up with more ideas/innovations please let me know! I would love to see them! :)

Love it, one of your more beautifully unhinged ideas. Oh you rezed Starlit Knight. . . gg wp. . .

Thanks for sharing! Using banner in combination with persephone is really cool. If only nsg would print a trojan that gave an ice more subroutines......

this is absolutely incredible hell yeah (also very funny to see Cordyceps in a different list the day after I made a list in an hour's fervour going "is Cordyceps good in Arissana???"

Does this even work? Since you fire on ETR on starlit the encounter ends and all the other ETR's havent fired? Some rule I am not getting here?
