Pao 50

Had the idea for this a while ago. Since regional season is over, I feel I have time to get back to it. Deck is still in its infancy but I think the idea of a Midway tax deck in HB, the king of all non-binary ICE, is kinda rad. So the idea is simple: use the grail and bioroids to hyper tax the runner with midway, get money and score agendas. Pretty one sided at the moment so looking for input on if there is anything that may give it a bit more punch. I had some thoughts of trying to put a brain damage threat into the deck. Not sure yet how that plan would close games out or just be something annoying for the runner. With the threat of net damage from Merlin it might be viable. Thoughts from other fans(?) of CB.

I played almost the exact version of this deck back in December, except I had the NEXT suite in there as well. Midway is great, and guarantees 3 extra that the Runner HAS to pay per grail ICE, however I found that most Runners are exceptionally well-prepared for these runs and Midway becomes a mere nuisance to them rather than the huge taxing engine you hope for. It's also very weak to ICE destruction which is still alive and well in the SanSan cycle thanks to Immolation Script.

It's a fun deck style, but it wasn't as great as I'd hoped it would be.

This looks cool. Is there any room for an Excalibur?

Also I would think a bit more card draw might make the deck more consistent rather than the (albeit fun) Bioroid Efficiency Research/Wotan combo. You already need to hold a bunch of cards in your hand to make the Grail Ice work.
