I just scored my first win using a Chaos Theory deck. The spine is power draw into a NACH + Activist Support, build up HQI and RDI and econ cards, and then only ever run with Blackmail, on unprotected servers, or against single-ice servers with Omega installed. Once it hits top gear, the Corp can only stop it through clever hand management or mind games. In theory. I only won that game due to a really bad draw on an ABT. But I Blackmailed my way in, so it's cool.
Now, the probem with "never run unless" is it seems to let the corp score at will--but it turns out you will have one fairly often.
It's not broken now, or at least I haven't seen the "magic combo," but it seems closer than anything I've seen yet to enabling one of those old-school MTG autowin decks--one card away--and FFG is going to have to be careful to never publish that card.
If I'm understanding both the cards.. I can use Same Old Thing in order to play blackmail from the heap without needing for the corp having BP am I right?
Or because it says "Play only..." you cannot use Same Old Thing in order to play blackmail?
You can use Same Old Thing to play Blackmail from the heap. Since you'd be playing Blackmail, the corp would need to have at least one bad publicity. Nothing about Same Old Thing states that it ignores conditional play restrictions on events.
If you use Same Old Thing with Emergency Shutdown, you still have to have made a successful run on HQ that turn. If you use it on Surge, you still have to have placed a virus counter on a program that turn.
