A Teia: IP Recovery glacier deck inspired by @ArminFirecracker
’s 12 Strength Surveyor, 0 install cost. The plan is to A Teia install ICE protecting our “big” remote server once a turn to build up a very imposing and tall Surveyor server which we can easily score out in.
For the most part, it’s ok to leave HQ open (except against criminal, where Diversion of Funds is brutal) and just draw early in our turns, sticking any agendas in the remote. R&D is often the backup wincon for runners once they are locked out of the remote, so do keep it relatively secure too. I recommend at least one Anansi and a Surveyor later in the game.
Individual cards:
The correct way to play against this deck is probably to save up and camp the remote, preferably with Pinhole Threading as not to waste a run on NGO Front or other bait. 5/3s are telegraphed pretty hard by the advancements required, though La Costa Grid can change this a little. Seamless Launch could potentially change the numbers on this, but I’m not sure that’s worth the influence.
This deck dies pretty hard to Hush which solves Surveyor, Rime, Anansi. Boomerang and Botulus also deal with Surveyor since they don't care about strength. Also weak to all Vovôs being trashed with Pinhole Threading or by Imp, Freedom, Maw because this deck needs all the help it can get to rez everything against a top tier runner. Tread Lightly can be brutal when timed right.
I’ve been tweaking this list for a long time, so it was a lot of fun to bring it to a tournament. It performed pretty well on the day, with at least one clutch comeback against a runner who stole both Bacterial Programmings early. I wasn’t prepared for a massive sabotage deck vs Esâ, where (especially given that I didn’t ICE up HQ much) I fell apart in the late game and lost agendas into archives, costing me my single loss. The tournament was a blast and my first time playing Single Sided Swiss: this, I found great, letting me play 5 different people instead of (alternatively) 3, and the variety in matchups lead to some fun conversations. Thanks @anarchomushroom
for running and thanks to my Belfast meta mates for the practice leading up to the competition!
