Moon Bounce

by Michael Moskop

I've been wanting to build a MACO deck for a while, and since the Vulcan deck I had been working months on got hit hard by the ban-hammer, I finally tried my hand at MACO's. I built the deck first from scratch and then went looking around for some tricks in recent decks. I think the final product actually had a few cards that were unnecessary, but it worked really well.

The deck is named after my daughter since one of her favorite things in the world is when I lift her in the air as if she was jumping on the Moon. So for this deck, my MACO's were "bouncing" off the Moon.

Tournament Record:

The following cards in this deck have received errata since it was last played in a tournament:

  • Containment Field (2022-08-01) - May not leave play. No longer a hidden agenda. No longer has Going To The Top restriction. Cannot be used anymore to one-sidedly tax opponent's downloads by discarding with Q the Referee and retrieving with Tribunal of Q.
  • Defend Homeworld (2022-08-01) - Nerf. Removed [Referee] icon. Added "voluntarily" to prevent combo with Chula: The Way Home & The Issue Is Patriotism.
  • Hoshi Sato (2018-10-16) - Now must be present with the dilemma she nullifies.
  • MACO Training Camp (2018-11-05) - Reworded to affect both players equally, to prevent being locked out.
  • Panel Overload (2019-03-04) - Removed Scan/Full-Planet Scan hate. (Both cards were separetely nerfed.)
  • Space-Time Portal (2023-08-14) - Added a built-in limit to the report function.
  • Space-Time Portal (2021-07-05) - Reworded for clarity. The "once per turn" restriction no longer applies to seed-phase "turns."
  • The Wake of the Borg (2023-05-01) - Partial rescission: regains Referee icon but retains other changes, and number of required Neutral Zone missions increased from 3 to 4.
  • The Wake of the Borg (2020-02-03) - Nerf. Targets the Neutral Zone only if heavily used. Returns to hand instead of destroys. Borg are immune. Nullifiable. No longer a Ref card.
  • Vulcan Tricorder (2020-07-06) - Nerf. Can no longer be immediately used when downloaded into an active mission attempt. Made unique for clean rules.
