Wait For It... Suit Up

Tired of that mangy old red coat of yours? Getting a credit for installing too easy? Do you want to win with style?

My friend. This suit's been engineered for success, why don't you join the modern age and slip your arm into this sleeve. Feel that? Of course you don't. Pure bucky-silk, nano engineered to reduce friction. Here, look at the outside. That's 0 reflection black. Again, nano engineered so that nothing gets in the way of that bright smile. Because we know who and what you are. You're it. And this suit is made for you.

This deck is an amalgamation of several you're familiar with if you've been around with a couple tech ups. The first is of course Red Coats, which we could not thank @nordrunner enough for. You see those campaigns. You see that ash. It's not quite his favorite agenda suite, but it's not bad either. We're a little bit lighter on ice, but a lot heavier on economy. In this ID you have to be, but the upside is that the ice in this deck are a bit better supported.

The second part of this deck is the Breaker Bay Grid combo, which has been making its paces around the circuits. If you haven't rezzed an eve off of this since release then you've been playing HB wrong. It makes every card in this deck better.

The third part is my own igninuity at work (ok, maybe its slightly @mtgred's tech) and it's what puts this deck together the rest of the way: Root & Sweeps. If you get a Root live and you keep it live you'll probably win the game. It's you're 4th breaker bay grid, but it's far more flexible, reducing install costs, ice rezzes, keeping your cash up while you advance those agendas (always a weakness in HB decks) and giving you an easy way to push Firewall up up and out of range. The number of credits this will net you if it doesn't get trashed (especially off of a Grid) will be in the upper teens-lower thirties.

Eliza's & Bioroid efficiency are necessary, imo. You could go bootcamp instead and loose something really consistent in this deck, but I find the two are good enough on their own to give you some room against blackmail variants. Obviously, get that Eve toybox protected first and if that fails you'll have to find a way to exhaust those blackmails. Wotan against blackmail decks is your target as they usually don't have the requisite components to deal with it.

The ice suite is mostly intentional, but I don't claim its perfect at the moment. I think it's entirely acceptable to lose a Hiemdall 2.0 for a 1.0. I'm not sold on IQ either, maybe turn it into a lab dog? It's just holding a space. But the rest of it should be pretty obviously good. There are no codegates that yog gets an easy pass on. Pretty important today. We're light on sentries for similar reasons, which is that if you're going to see a lot of switchblade why bother? This deck demands a sentry breaker and then promptly stops caring. Which means we're mostly focused on barriers. Normally this wouldn't be great, but both Lady and Corroder are the easiest to tax breakers and they're the only barrier brakers you're likely to see. Quicksand might look bad for this because of those two breakers, but you'll find that runners that commit to run on R&D a lot hate the ice and those that might run more often will be dissuaded by the potential of making it stronger. Its an ice I'd never 3x again, but as a 2x its fine.

This is a glacier deck, which means you may not want to bring it to a tourney. Games with it go long.... long long. But you're solidly in control for most of that time, and if the runner gives you any space you'll money up far above what they're capable of matching and Ash them out.
