I don't usually get too frustrated at specific tactics in this game (though I will quit if it's boring and I can't possibly win), but one combo that does really get on my nerves is stacking reset cards (especially animus reboot plus history glitch). The best use I saw was someone playing Wrath, waiting for me to play all my agents after it resolved, and then playing reboot.
Is there a good counter to this (besides blue counters of course)? If I don't outright win before it goes down history glitch erases all progress. Is it better to hold back multiple agents/sites if the opponent seems to be biding time? Try to force them to waste removal on one or two agents?

when i am facing reboot and i am aware of it i just hold back alot of cards and win slowly. just play out 1 strong card which he cant beat without his reboot and wait for it. in my opinion it is only a problem to play against reboot when the enemy has also lots of discard in his deck ( exept for combining reboot with senatorio -.- )

It's time to name and shame... Dannimaldano plays a full blown exploit reboot senatorial deck. Bastard. Beat him with his own Cesare though  And yes, when you suspect an opponent is not dropping much on the table, you can almost be guaranteed a reboot or some reset is coming. Play smart. Have just one more threat than he can handle on the table. Don't drop everything. |

Safe agents can survive resets so I'll often use a point or two off of Dante just in case. Sometimes you end up with exhausted safe agents, but often you have Dante ready to save a second.
I don't mind the tactic except when combined with Palazzo.

Safe is a good way to counter it.
Also, if they play mass reset, they are vulnerable to quick discard, reset cards are expensives.
They can also be countered (scientific espionage or blue counterspells).
You can anticipate it and keep your fattie in your hand, dropping it after the wrath.
You can rush them before and during the spell.

But I thrashed Danni like 10 wins/1 loss when I was playing with it. So he probably got the idea from me.  Sorry folks! Regards to OP, hence I like blue/Order. Sometimes my deck does not have so many counters. but Dante/Cesare again, helps me to auto-win vs Reboot decks. |

Thanks for the advice! I'll try to exercise more care in tossing out my big guns (though it's really hard to resist when they've just played reboot - I've gotten burned by double wipes).
