ICEland v3.4

Interesting! I've been testing my own NEXT deck, and there are several similar ideas to yours as well as a lot that is different.

I definitely love the sweeps week splash. I've tried it, and found it really helps out your econ, especially recovering when you are low after rezzing a bunch of ice and scoring out some agendas.

Would you say your strategy for the deck is more towards the glacier archetype? You have a lot of bigger ice, and seem to focus on cheating it into play with BER/Pri Rec. Seems like the goal would be to set up a scoring remote, sneak an ABT or Pri rec through, then get even more ice rezzed up to score out the rest of your agendas.

How does your early game go? There aren't a ton of cheap early game ice, do you find the eli/guard/chimera/howler (and fenris to a degree) to be enough to keep the runner out of your servers early?

@dtjunkie19 - Thanks for the post. :) I really love the concept of being able to start with ICE installed. It's almost like the Corp version of Andromeda, heh.

Sweeps Week worked really well for me last week; it was the first time I'd been able to actually play test the idea (which has been modified several times since then). I finally got all my cards (up to H&P) recently and it felt great to run my ideas against other people.

As far as the Glacier Archetype...yah, it very well could be that, heh. I was really just thinking "man, this ID could really make Runners squirm if certain cards are drawn at certain times". I was kind of just going balls to the wall, hoping that 2 Jacksons were enough (since Influence was limited) and that I could sorta "draw them offsides" with Eve Campaigns. I'm even brave enough to think that I could probably score a late game ABT or Vitruvius with no ICE in front of it...only time will tell on that one.

My early game can be hit or miss at times...but for the most part, I can coax out 1 or 2 low cost ICE to make those Successful Demos work for me. The Chimeras could get taxing, but the verdict is still out on that. I think they're very versatile to have, and yes...I do think they are enough to keep runners out early, for the most part, so you can score some points or get some drip econ going.

Hmm...pondering something new... -3 Successful Demonstration for +3 Melange Mining Corps? Anyone have a take on that change?

I've been using MMC in my NEXT deck, and it has worked quite well if I can get one setup in a protected remote. I was running efficiency committee which combos quite well with it, as you can install and use in one turn, get your money and not care as much if the runner trashes it.

MMC w/EC ... something to consider. I'm also wondering if I should split the MMC to SD ratio; say, 2 to 1, or vice versa. I guess time and testing will tell. :)
