MAWmbo #5

Maw is a beast.

You check an asset and don't trash (like an unrezzed PAD Campaign) or access an operation or piece of ice, then the Corp loses a random card out of HQ. This adds a lot of value to your runs. Throw in a Bhagat for good measure and the Corp bleeds cards into archives.

Maw is expensive and you need to be able to access servers reliably to use it. This caused me to try it out in the Frantic Coding Whizzard shell I had used to win a store champ. So far so good.

The gameplan is to get Magnum Opus going as soon as possible to get your credits up. Use Inject and Frantic Coding to dump all your breakers into the heap. Install Maw and start running. Hacktivist Meeting can buy you some time. This card can also be Rumor Mill if you need to stop Jacksons or Oberths.

Quetzal: Free Spirit was my choice for a runner because Quetzal has icebreaking built in. I'm not saying this is the ID you need to use, but it works. That's why I included Rebirth in case you need to trash more assets or turn into Omar Keung: Conspiracy Theorist late in the game to seal the win.

The biggest weakness I have found is rush decks (like a NEXT deck that gets everything they need) that can score out before you can find that breaker. The other way it loses is if you can't get Opus online soon enough, like a misfired Frantic coding. Doesn't happen often but it does happen.

Enjoy and offer any feedback you have.
