I don’t disagree with that, but you lose the flexibility of the click you spent to install clone chip, and have to spend the click to move the counter. Its more click intensive is my point. That said the added utility might make it better, but it makes the deck slower, which typically means worse. The game is slowing down though, so you never know!
Oh, yeah, virus breeding ground usually slows you down, but then you realize you can pump your medium without a run as if you made a run, which ultimately means saved money and it makes run R&D once a turn decks better. For those you want recurring credits usually, which anarch can do very well. And for that I might want Spinal Modem, which gives memstrips value, which is not a maxx deck. Starting to agree convo should be moved.
This is far less insane than Memstrips. It’s nice because it could actually be better than Grimoire in cases where you don’t have it JUST because it costs 0. You could even Clone Chip it in weird situations where you need MU badly. The downside of having to install the program after Progenitor is kind of whatever because you almost always install medium last and it’s the best thing to put on it.
The biggest issue for me is, is it better than Grimoire? I’m not really sure. If I was going to think about running a 3rd MU card, I think Progenitor would be better than the 3rd Grimoire, but I’m not sure about cutting one or both already played Grimoires for a Progenitor. Maybe it’s the sort of card you want in 60 card Maxx ;D
I kinda had a rude awakening yesterday when I lost two games in a row against blacklist.
Both games, my opponent kept a hawk eye on my heap and as soon as my deck got super low or a breaker of a certain type got thrown into the heap, he installed or rezzed a blacklist behind that ice (lotus field when my zu was in the heap, for example).
Both games resulted in a total loss, with me locked out of the game.
Anyone had to play against blacklist yet? Did I just get two games of bad luck? Or is this card really good hate against this deck?
I feel like it should probably not be that bad if you’re aware of when it can happen. If you highly prioritize getting out your full breaker suite, is it really that much of a nightmare?
I guess if they lock your Zu out with a Lotus-Blacklist server you’re pretty fucked.
As a 1 influence splash, it is kind of hard to predict unless I have some knowledge of the deck in general.
You are right, prioritizing your breakers at the cost of some aggression probably is the answer, but it can be a pretty steep cost, especially if I want to also hold onto my deja vu’s for a later deck reset.
I was just blown away by how quickly one card being rezzed changed the whole match. I had so much tempo and momentum and then I had literally lost the game. With corroder and Zu in the heap, I had no way out.
