revised Apoc Wu

Not going to worlds, so I’m publishing my current runner deck:

It’s a revised version of Apoc Wu (evolving from Big Unit’s early list that won the Delaware CO and my list from Euro Continentals).

It’s not optimized but performs solidly (1.5 tier deck?), and it’s fun to pilot! It feels a little underpowered without boat but you’ll surprise opponents and sidestep some boat hate. It has a lot of answers and can usually camp a remote until the corp overcommits, and you can pivot to Apoc.

Longer term installs (even your daily casts) are tricky with Apoc, so you really are committing to land an Apoc and then gaining the income from selling to Aesops.

Notable absences to consider: I don’t have Stargate, or DJ Fenris, or Citadel, or Paricia, or No Free Lunch. And Stoneship isn’t as valuable as a persistent Boom deterrent. Maybe a more optimized deck would find efficiencies at the margins to use some of these valuable cards.

I land apoc to erase scoring remotes and asset econ, wrecking horizontal decks like CTM (as long as I can survive the tags), and destroying annoying central defenses without needing ice destruction like Hippo. Just got to get through it once.

Sometimes this means probing runs the turn before to flush out defenses (get that Anemone rez), or starting with the riskiest server and hoping they don’t bother to pop their border control until you’ve already accessed that one time you needed.

Thoughts appreciated!
