Notes

Discard heavily if you don't have a Supercomputer and two tech resources early on. This deck is built around the computer, and won't work well without it. Which leads to the other issue; in local play (and without decks designed specifically to hose this one) this has been dominant in multiplayer play. It builds up a massive card advantage, and once it gets power, it steamrolls.

Now either the Supercomputer is heavily overpowered, or we're missing something. So what I really want to know is, how much trouble would this cause in *your* playgroup? Locally, we've just agreed not to play this style of deck.
