"lettin' all the people know that i'm back to run the show..."
This is the MaxX deck I piloted to 1st place at a Store Championship in Milwaukee, WI.
Our testing group (shout-outs to #anti-iq) had been playing what we dubbed "Control Maxx" for some time, with @Paranoid piloting it to day 2 at Worlds. This was a MaxX deck with no multiaccess, relying on Maw, Tapwrm/SacCon, cutlery, and Stimhacks to pressure the Corp in all areas. While testing proved fruitful, I had been finding that the deck had a few too many moving parts for my liking.
The night before the tournament, Zach Cavis (aka Jack Carvis) provided us with this by way of @shmeguy. The thesis statement was similar, but it was teched to beat CtM and had real multiaccess, leading to a more aggressive gameplan. I switched over to it having never played it, and it paid off, as the deck went undefeated on the day. The only change I made was cutting a singleton Datasucker for the 2nd Stimhack, on the advice of @Paranoid.
It's a pretty standard MaxX list at the end of the day. Get money, get accesses, score points.
I was extremely happy with the deck and would not make any changes.
Shout-outs to Mark Morrison. Return of the Mack is the best song ever written, don't @ me.
Happy hacking!

congrats on the win, the data sucker was a sub optimal part of the list but needed for breaking the mythic suite. If you're dropping sucker which I think is reasonable you should also cut retrieval run because it only has 1 target now, I'd get an ice carver probably to keep the event count down. |

Atman is in the deck mainly to break the Mythic suite, although I did install Atman 6 to beat Archangel and Gutenberg in the cut against CtM. |

That Atman 6 was easily my favorite part of our games! It was a ton of fun to play you 4 times on the day - congrats buddy!! |

Yeah, I've played this deck a few times now and it's happened to me almost every game. And each time it's happened the Deep Data Mining was stuck on there. |
Thanks for sharing! A couple of questions. What decks did you face on the day, and which ones felt the most challenging, relatively? Why Atman instead of some of the other common alternatives?
