BEHOLD THE ZIGGURAT

Rush out your Space Ice to defend your centrals. Use Off the Grid to build a scoring remote; place Crisium Grid and/or Caprice Nisei on HQ to keep it safe. Fire Wall and Ice Wall become targets for advancements over time to make your centrals as safe as possible, using your ID ability and Constellation Protocol to beef them up. Commercialization gives you excellent burst econ later in the game.

Looks like a fun deck.

I'd suggest that as a late-game card, you might want only two Commercialization. And I'd use the cardslot to add another small ice like Quandary, since your ice count is fairly low at 15, and you may struggle to stabilise early game with so many big ice.

Thanks! You're definitely right about the lack of early game ICE, but I think I'll pull Shipment from Kaguya instead -- even though Commercialization is best as burst in the late game, with Space ICE out it's a Beanstalk Royalties at worst by turn two or three.

Have you tried Space Camp in this deck? I have a similar deck and I love it -- triggers from R&D, HQ, Remotes, and Archives... and that last one is probably the most fun reaction.

Also, I feel like this deck was made for Shipment from Kaguya and Trick of Light. But very interesting build!

Seems to me you are light on econ (7 operations + BWBI + any ops you Jackson back in). Your ICE is mostly free/cheap, but Off the Grid is heinously expensive and your other upgrades aren't super cheap either (both Caprice and Ash continue to cost you money).

I think what this deck really wants is GRNDL Refinery. You always want to advance, and at a certain point ICE isn't worth it. You have a pretty airtight scoring server once Off the Grid is in place. You have 6 agendas, so it might be sitting empty frequently. With Constellation Protocol and Shipment from Kaguya you might find that the refinery gets absurdly profitable much faster than you'd realize. You can even Interns them back out of your Archives.

Not sure what to cut, but I'd lean towards 1x Punitive Counterstrike, the Sweeps Week and a Constellation Protocol or a Jackson Howard (he's always good but with only 6 agendas his value as a critical include diminishes significantly).
