In this deck, Midway acts similarly to Ash and Caprice. That is to say, it makes servers extremely taxing. Most of the time your grails will have 3 subs, and Ashigaru can have up to 6. Your increased hand size would allow you to keep all those grails intact. Why two Excaliburs? well that's easy: One to install, and another to keep in HQ to reveal to other grails when needed. This deck at its heart is a glacier deck, but if your glacier plans fail you can always resort to riding the SanSan Astrotrain. Tell me what you think.

Well, with a 44 card deck, not to mention Jackson and DBS, I believe 12 should be enough. Worst case scenario, if you have 0 ICE after mulligan, you can always Install Jackson>Draw 2>Install ICE and you won't have to discard. |

But maybe you're right, I'll have to test it. Not sure what to cut in favor of more ICE though. DBS? it works wonders against R&D lock and is an awesome utility/tax regardless. I guess if you wanted to remove the FA aspect of the deck you could go -2 SanSan +2 ICE. What ICE though? NBN don't have many multi-sub ICE. Most notable being Muckracker, but without tag punishment it's not very scary (not to mention BP). Another avenue you could go is -2 SanSan -2 Interns. That way you still have 12 ICE, but your deck is a much tighter at 40 cards. |

Yeah good point about lack of NBN ice with multiple subs, you could take out an Ashigaru and 2 other cards to put in two other pieces of ice, but there is not many ICE with multiple subs for 1 or 2 influence, possibly an Archer and maybe a Rototurret? I'll give this deck a try tonight in OCTGN in it's current form and see how it goes |

Good shout, would work well with Daily Business Show, but I suspect the runner would let it fire rather than paying 6 credits (assuming no Switchblade) so although it would benefit the running it wouldn't tax the runner in anyway which is something I always like to try to do |

Personally I'll be sticking with Ashigaru. I like that it benefits both from Midway and the ID. Some icebreaker comparison:
The only cheap solution to it is Morningstar, and no one plays it. |

But i have tried this idea my self though with more Ice and it's really taxing when down i ran the more usual Fast advance NBN deck but with Grail ICE and 2 Midway Station Grid's and it did very well in fact i don't think it lost a game I was only running Daily Business Show mind as a replacement for Jackson Howard as he was in my main deck but they are amazing if left and do win games. |

I tried the deck, was against Whizzard which meant using the assets was tricky as I didn't have enough ice to ice them up. I did find the lack of ice a problem particularly ETR run ice as I couldn't stop the runner in then end. I might take out the shipment from san san for some more ice and try it again |
12 ice does seem a little low to me, have you struggled with not having enough ice in games? Looks interesting though and something I may well try at some point
