"Designers. Make it work. Tim Gunn." -Leslie Knope (doing her impression of Tim Gunn)
This is an attempt to make NEXT Design: Guarding the Net work, like how Tim Gunn makes designs work. And after tinkering with the previous version, it does work!
ICE makes up half of the deck to support the identity and also, the Accelerated Beta Tests. Beta Testing into big ICE is so fun. Since the NEXT Bronze, NEXT Silver, and Mother Goddess go well together, those won't hurt too.
However, they do melt to Parasites. Hence they are supported by the new hotness, Lotus Field.
Click the Melange Mining Corp. behind your early ICE advantage. But it still may not be enough to rez big ICE sustainably, hence Oversight AI.
Successful Demonstration is good to tide you over the first phase! Several times I wished I could top deck another. However, it does lose abit of steam at the later phases when no one is interested in unsuccessful demonstrations, thus x2 copies.
Some may ask why Interns over Archived Memories? That's a valid switch actually, as it boils down to personal preference. So do it!
After experimenting this build several times, I conclude this deck is fun. Especially that time I pulled a Wotan, Janus 1.0, and Quandary at turn 3. Oh boy.
I have to say the above example is possible, but does not happen all the time (obviously). Beta Test responsibly! (i.e. If you have drawn into most of your ICE, would you activate Beta Test? Answer: No.)
Shoutout to ashtaroth's interns here for the number crunching! Interesting read too. Check it out!

Oh yeah NEXT ICE is pretty much just a placeholder (with potential to grow taxing). Most of the time, what "delivers my punch" is Oversight AI and Wotan, or big ICE that was Beta Tested early and unexpectedly. I can't say Lotus Field had pulled its weight so far in my test matches, but I feel safe knowing it is one of my options. Let me know how it goes for you! |
Man...I hope Upstalk hits us soon. Lotus Field looks mighty tempting to put in this build. I have an idea for the NEXT Design ID of my own...it's published on here...check it out and tell me what ya think. :) It's actually similar to this one, but I use Eve Campaign instead of Melange Mining Corp.. I also have NAPD Contract in there to make the runner spend their credits if they wanna get ahead in the scoring. Maybe it's just me, but relying on a lot of NEXT ICE to show up in a game to deliver your punch seems a bit risky. I'll find out soon enough though I guess!
