Foundry's Round table of NEXT

wizzogomex11 8

The idea of this deck is a simple glacier style, just a lot of difficult ice that becomes more taxing as the game goes on. Most of the Cards in here are cheap and are easy to rez with credits always coming in every turn. (At least that's the idea even if you install Gain, and Gain for your turn)

The NEXT and Grail ice all power each other and lets me get out more when i trigger either The Foundry: Refining the Process or Accelerated Beta Test. Also the Twins make a hell of a surprise because they don't calculate that in when they are always expecting Ash 2X3ZB9CY being the only upgrade a HB deck.

With Turing being such a strong card (especially against Eater or Overmind decks) allow you to find a very good multi use card even not installed over a remote server.

Please give your thoughts on it and comment below. Always looking to improve my decks

Looks interesting! Grail + Foundry seems to be all the rage, and it works so well with the NEXT ICE too. I've not tried Turing myself, but I am struggling with Eater decks at the moment. It might be more effective than Crisium Grid.

I'd recommend trying to squeeze a third Project Vitruvius in there; the synergy with The Twins is fantastic. I'd probably drop the Mandatory Upgrades; do you often score it?

Cerebral Overwriter is an interesting one; I assume that's to make it easier to land a flatline with Merlin or NEXT Gold?

Given your high ICE count and spare influence, Executive Boot Camp could work well; you could trigger the ID ability on your own turn, not just when the runner hits ICE. It would synergise quite well with Peak Efficiency, too, as you could ensure rezzed ICE (more or less).

Something to be aware of; both of your 'power pieces' (Merlin and NEXT Gold) are STR 4, which is an incredibly common Atman area. You've got plenty of other options, but bear it in mind. I personally go for Corporate Troubleshooter, but Lag Time, IT Department and Experiential Data could all work.
